Edgecore ET5402-RJ45 Compatible 10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper for AS-Series White-Box Switches

EdgeOptic's ET5402-RJ45 compatible is an Edgecore-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-T multi-vendor 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver. The module EEPROM is programmed to the Edgecore ET5402-RJ45 vendor profile so the part enumerates identically to the OEM on AS-series ONIE-based switches that reference this ordering code in their transceiver compatibility documentation. Reach is 30 m at 10G on Cat 6A or Cat 7 unshielded twisted pair, with the same multi-rate envelope as the OEM SKU.

The transceiver operates per IEEE 802.3an for 10GBASE-T and IEEE 802.3bz for 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T, with 1000BASE-T multi-rate fallback per IEEE 802.3ab. Whether a given AS-series switch negotiates 2.5G or 5G on its SFP+ ports depends on the switch ASIC and the NOS port profile; some white-box NOS builds restrict SFP+ ports to 1G and 10G only. Electrical and management interfaces follow SFF-8431 and SFF-8432. Operating temperature covers 0 to 65 °C commercial grade on a +3.3 V single supply, with CE and RoHS certification.

Edgecore's AS-series platforms are ONIE-based white-box switches designed to run multiple network operating systems on the same hardware. The Edgecore ET5402-RJ45 product page lists the part for AS-series; specific switch model coverage and NOS qualification (Enterprise SONiC, Community SONiC, OcNOS, ICOS, PicOS, Cumulus Linux) varies by switch generation. NOS flexibility is the practical reason to evaluate an Edgecore-coded copper transceiver in a white-box build: the EEPROM profile must enumerate across every NOS the platform might run over its service life. Verify ET5402-RJ45 against the Edgecore transceiver compatibility documentation for the specific AS-series model and NOS build before deployment.

Because this is a copper part with no laser, DDMI output through the NOS exposes copper-scope telemetry only: case temperature, supply voltage and link status. Transmit optical power, receive optical power and laser bias current do not exist on a 10GBASE-T module and are not reported. Management tooling that expects optical DOM values should treat this transceiver as a copper SFP+. The 30 m reach at 10G on Cat 6A or Cat 7 is the standard 10GBASE-T copper limit; longer runs require an optical SFP+ class part.
