I was just using 2 of the S+RJ10 to go from my living space to the basement where my rack is for 10Gbe with a 125ft Cat6A cable. They worked great till I started transferring data over that cable, then they got ridiculously hot and started having transmit/receive failures. When I say "they got ridiculously hot" I mean they got ridiculously hot. I was going to see if there was anything physically wrong with them so I pulled one out, it burned my fingers and palm (little bit of blistering, nothing serious). I was a little smarter with the second one and used an infrared thermometer and it read 81C (Mind you it took me a good 3-4 minutes to get my thermometer and get to the basement to check the temp).
Has anyone else experienced anything like this with RJ45 to SFP+ transceivers? I've read that they run hot, but didn't think that it would be this hot. I'm wondering if I got a couple of defective units, or if they really just run that hot. Everything I've seen online says they run up to about 50C, which is a long ways off from 81C. FYI, it's about 19C in the basement.
I was running them between two MikroTik switches:
CSS326-24G-2S+RM
