The MikroTik S+RJ10 is a high-performance 6-speed RJ45 SFP+ transceiver module designed to bridge the gap between fibre-based SFP+ infrastructure and copper-based Ethernet. It allows you to upgrade your network to 10 Gbps speeds over familiar twisted-pair cabling (Cat6/Cat7) without the need to install expensive optical fibre. This module is ideal for enterprise networks, data centres, and high-speed home laboratory setups requiring flexible, multi-gigabit copper connectivity.
Technical Specifications
- Product Code: S+RJ10
- Form Factor: SFP+ (Must be used in SFP+ ports)
- Connector Type: RJ45
- Supported Data Rates: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps

- Operating Temperature: -20°C to 60°C
- Advanced Features: DDM (Digital Diagnostics Monitoring) for temperature and supply voltage; supports Jumbo frames (up to 10218 Bytes on 2.5G/5G/10G links).
Key Features
- Multi-Speed Versatility: Automatically negotiates across six different speeds (10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G), making it compatible with a wide array of legacy and modern hardware.
- Fibre-Free 10G Connectivity: Eliminates the complexity and cost of fibre deployments for intra-rack or short-range inter-rack connections by leveraging existing copper standards.
- Efficient Thermal Management: Engineered with a power-efficient design (max 2.4W) to maintain performance; however, users should ensure adequate ventilation, as 10GBASE-T transceivers naturally generate heat during operation.
- Broad Compatibility: Designed for use with any MikroTik device featuring SFP+ ports (e.g., CCR and CRS series) and works seamlessly in many other SFP+ MSA-compliant devices.
Note on Usage: Due to the nature of 10GBASE-T technology, this module can run warm. It is recommended to use this module in devices with active cooling or ensure your rack environment has sufficient airflow. In some low-power, passively cooled devices, additional cooling may be necessary for sustained 10G performance.
