Allied Telesis AT-SP10TM – TAA SFP+ RJ45 Multi-Rate 10G Copper 100m
Overview
The Allied Telesis AT-SP10TM is a TAA-compliant SFP+ transceiver providing multi-rate 10G Ethernet over Cat 6A copper cable up to 100 m. Supporting speeds of 10/100/1G/2.5G/5G/10G Mbps and compatible with NBASE-T technology, it installs in any standard 10G SFP+ cage and eliminates the need for fiber when connecting servers, switches, or network appliances over structured copper cabling. Hot-swap support and MSA compliance ensure compatibility across equipment vendors. TAA compliance satisfies federal procurement requirements.
Description
The AT-SP10TM bridges SFP+ fiber-oriented switch ports to existing structured copper cabling infrastructure, making it practical to achieve 10G connectivity without installing new fiber runs. It installs directly into any 10G SFP+ port and presents a standard RJ45 interface for connection to Cat 6A patch cords and horizontal cabling plants commonly found in enterprise buildings and data centers.
The multi-rate capability — 10M, 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G — makes the AT-SP10TM compatible with NBASE-T IEEE 802.3bz devices that negotiate 2.5G or 5G speeds over Cat 5e/Cat 6 cabling where full 10G is not supported. This is particularly useful in wireless access point uplinks (Wi-Fi 6/6E requires multi-gig), server management ports, and storage traffic paths where leveraging existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 wiring avoids costly re-cabling.
At 10G, the transceiver achieves 100 m over Cat 6A, meeting the TIA-568 structured cabling standard for maximum horizontal run length. Hot-swap support means the transceiver can be inserted or removed from active equipment without powering down. TAA compliance under the standard designation makes the AT-SP10TM eligible for GSA schedule and federal agency procurement. Available from Creation Networks for government, enterprise, and data center projects.
Key Features
- Multi-Rate Auto-Negotiation: Supports 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G speeds, enabling NBASE-T compatibility over Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6A structured cabling.
- 10G at 100 m over Cat 6A: Achieves full 10GbE reach within standard TIA-568 horizontal cabling limits without fiber.
- SFP+ Form Factor: Installs in any MSA-compliant 10G SFP+ cage — no special slot or adapter required.
- RJ45 Connector: Interfaces directly with standard Cat 6A copper patch cords and structured cabling plant.
- NBASE-T Compatible: Interoperates with IEEE 802.3bz devices at 2.5G and 5G for legacy Cat 5e/6 infrastructure.
- TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. federal and government procurement.
- Hot-Swappable: Supports live insertion and removal in 10G SFP+ host ports without disrupting chassis operation.
Typical Applications
- 10G server uplinks to ToR switches over existing Cat 6A horizontal cabling in data centers
- Multi-gig (2.5G/5G) wireless access point uplinks over Cat 5e/Cat 6 wiring without re-cabling
- SFP+ to copper bridging in core and distribution switches where copper drop cables are needed
- Government data center and enterprise LAN upgrades requiring TAA-compliant 10G optics
- Storage network connections requiring 10G copper interfaces from SFP+ host bus adapters
- Lab and test environments requiring flexible multi-rate copper connectivity from SFP+ test equipment

FAQ
Can the AT-SP10TM achieve 10G over Cat 5e or Cat 6?
No. Full 10G (10GBASE-T) requires Cat 6A cabling to reach 100 m. Cat 5e and Cat 6 are limited to 2.5G and 5G respectively at standard horizontal run distances when used with NBASE-T devices.
Does this transceiver work in any SFP+ port?
It is designed for MSA-compliant 10G SFP+ ports. Not all SFP+ ports support copper RJ45 transceivers — the host switch or NIC must support BASE-T SFP+ modules. Check the host device's compatibility list before ordering.
What is NBASE-T and why does it matter?
NBASE-T (IEEE 802.3bz) defines 2.5G and 5G Ethernet speeds over existing Cat 5e and Cat 6 cabling. It is widely used for multi-gig wireless access point uplinks and server connections where full 10G cabling is not installed. The AT-SP10TM supports these intermediate speeds.
Is the AT-SP10TM compatible with Allied Telesis switches specifically?
Yes. Allied Telesis 10G SFP+ switches and routers that support BASE-T SFP+ modules are compatible. Consult the Allied Telesis switch compatibility matrix or contact Creation Networks to confirm your specific switch model.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA compliance indicates the product meets Trade Agreements Act country-of-origin requirements, qualifying it for U.S. federal government procurement through GSA schedules and DoD contract vehicles.
