LevelOne SFP-6601 Network Transceiver Module Copper 10000 Mbit/s SFP+

The LevelOne SFP-6601 is a compact SFP+ transceiver module that delivers 10 Gbps bidirectional data transfer between SFP fiber interfaces and copper Ethernet cabling. Designed for short-reach connections, it supports transmission over Category 6a, 7 and 8 twisted-pair cables up to 30 metres and is suitable for servers, storage systems and network devices requiring high bandwidth. The module measures 67 mm × 8.5 mm × 13.4 mm, operates at 3.3 V with typical power consumption around 1.05 W, and is CE certified.

Advantages

The SFP transceiver module LevelOne SFP-6601 offers a small form factor and compatibility with SFP+ interfaces, enabling 10Gbps links over standard copper cabling. It supports a maximum link length of up to 30 metres on Cat6a/7/8, provides low power consumption for its class, and is suitable for integration into existing network equipment that accepts SFP+ modules.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth server uplinks
• Storage area networks (SAN) connections
• Short-reach 10GbE links in data centres and wiring closets
• Network switches and routers with SFP+ slots

How to use

Insert the SFP-6601 into any compatible SFP+ slot on a switch, router, server or storage device until it clicks into place, then connect the copper Ethernet cable (Cat6a, Cat7 or Cat8) between the transceiver and the remote device. Ensure the host device supports 10GBase-T over SFP+ copper modules and configure network settings as required. For safe removal, follow the host equipment manufacturer’s hot-swap or module-ejection procedure.

Recommendations

Use Category 6a or higher twisted-pair cables for reliable 10 Gbps links and keep cable runs within the specified maximum of 30 metres. Verify compatibility with the network device vendor for SFP+ copper transceivers and observe electrostatic discharge precautions during handling.
