CUSTOMER REVIEW

"We bought the StarTech.com JL563A-ST 10G SFP+ RJ45 Copper Transceiver for a switch where we wanted to use our existing copper cabling. It was easy to install in the SFP+ port, and having 10GBase-T with an RJ45 connection meant we didn’t need to run new fibre for this link. It fitted into our existing network setup without any major changes."
