Connectivity and compatibility

This transceiver module fits into SFP+ ports on Lenovo ThinkSystem storage arrays, enabling direct copper connections to switches or servers. It supports standard Ethernet protocols, making it compatible with existing copper network infrastructure in data centers, branch offices, or test labs. The RJ-45 interface is ideal for short-distance, high-bandwidth links within racks or rooms.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward and follows the standard SFP+ procedure. Simply insert the module into an available SFP+ port, secure it with the latch, and connect an RJ-45 copper cable. The link can then be configured through your switch or operating system without additional hardware or complex setup steps.

Ideal uses and environments

This module is well suited for IT teams managing Lenovo ThinkSystem storage arrays in dense rack environments where fiber deployment is impractical or costly. It supports high-speed data transfers needed for backup jobs and database access, making it a strong choice for data centers, branch offices, and test labs that rely on copper cabling for 10 Gigabit connectivity.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
