D-Link DEM-410T 10GBASE-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver for Cat 6a Networks
The D-Link DEM-410T is a hot-swappable 10GBASE-T SFP+ copper transceiver designed for high-speed network connectivity using Cat 6a structured cabling. Supporting data rates up to 10Gbps and distances of up to 30 metres, this transceiver delivers the flexibility and port density of the SFP+ form-factor while providing a power-optimised solution for data centres, enterprise wiring closets, and service provider applications.
Key Features
-
10Gbps Performance: IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T compliant with auto-negotiation support
-
Cat 6a/7 Connectivity: Uses familiar RJ-45 connectors for up to 30m transmission distance
-
Power Optimised: Saves at least 0.5W per port compared to embedded 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports
-
Hot-Pluggable: Easy installation and removal without powering down network equipment
-
Backward Compatible: Works with legacy 1000BASE-T networks for flexible deployment
-
MSA Compliant: Conforms to SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 standards for broad compatibility
Ideal for Enterprise and Data Centre Applications
The DEM-410T provides a cost-effective alternative to fibre optic SFP+ modules for short-range 10G Ethernet connections within racks and across adjacent racks. Perfect for Top-of-Rack (ToR), mid-row, and end-of-row switch connectivity, this transceiver leverages existing copper infrastructure while delivering the performance benefits of 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The power savings add up significantly in large-scale deployments, reducing operational costs and heat generation.
Reliable Performance and Standards Compliance
Engineered to IEEE 802.3an and IEEE 802.3ab standards, the DEM-410T ensures reliable interoperability with D-Link switches, routers, and third-party network equipment featuring SFP+ slots. The transceiver operates at 3.3V with a maximum current draw of 700mA and features an impressive MTBF of 217,186 hours. It's designed for commercial environments with an operating temperature range of 0 to 60°C and meets FCC Class B, CE Class B, and VCCI Class B emission standards.
