Is 10GBaseT Copper Module Supported by All Huawei 10G Switches?

10G BASE-T

Recently, our customers are interested in Huawei SFP-10GBaseT-SR, and eager to know whether any Huawei switches with 10G optical ports support the 10G copper module or not.

In response to customer demands, we built up test environment in our lab.

SFP-10GBaseT-SR

Switch: FutureMatrix S6735-S24X6C (24*10GE SFP+ ports, 6*100GE QSFP28 ports)

Copper module: SFP-10GBaseT-SR, PN: 02314PHV

Test result: TX power is too low

10GBaseT-SR-1

So we can provide our customers an exact answer “NO”, most 10G optical ports only supports GE/10GE optical module or GE copper module, dont support 10G copper module.

10G SFP+

Then which switches support  SFP-10GBaseT-SR and any precautions when using these SFPs?

Module name SFP-10GBaseT-SR
Part Number 02314PHV
Form factor SFP+
Application standard 10GBASE-T
Connector type RJ45
Supported switch series S5355-H (V600R024C00 or later versions)
S5331-S-V1 (V600R024C00 or later versions)
S6750E-S、S6730-H-V2、S5732-H-V2 (V600R023C10 and later versions)
Notes When uses SFP-10GBaseT-SR, the ambient temperature must range from 0°C to 45°C
The supported rate depends on the port.
SFP-10GBaseT-SR can only be used on a switch running V600R023C10 or a later version
SFP-10GBaseT-SR does not support the rate of 100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s when it is used on a 25GE optical port of a switch running V600 version.
Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) Not supported
Transmission rate [bit/s] 100 Mbit/s
1 Gbit/s
2.5 Gbit/s
5 Gbit/s
10 Gbit/s
Target transmission distance [km] 10 Gbit/s: 30 m (Cat6A S/FTP or above)
2.5 Gbit/s or 5 Gbit/s: 30 m (Cat5E STP or above)
100 Mbit/s or 1 Gbit/s: 100 m (Cat5E or above)

Therefore, whether a switch supports Huawei 10G copper module depends not only on the model but also on the software version. If you have requirements for Huawei SFP-10GBaseT-SR and want to confirm whether your switch is compatible, please feel free to contact us — we can help you check the corresponding documentation and verify it for you.
