S+RJ10 alternative

[sergi0]

Hi,

I have a brocade 6450-24 with the following 10gb attached :
- one dac
- two S+RJ10 connected to x10sdv motherboard.

The transceiver are too hot and i discover on mikrotik website that they don't recommend placing them as close as i need to do with my switch.

What kind of alternative to the S+RJ10 can i get ? I am not very familiar with this tech. Price is not really a concern as long as it work.

S.

I have read good things on here about modules based on the AQS-107 chipset, occasionally available used at a good price as Dell part number 0WP2PP, otherwise they tend to be rather expensive.

There are many 10GbE RJ-24 transceivers, just depends on what range you need and feature set. Since you don't need 2.5/5g support on the SFP side nor the RJ-24 side, pretty much anything will work. Some of the newer ones like these have <2W power consumption, but there's probably cheaper options.

You can also try sticking little heatsinks on them like I've done:

thanks for the feedback. I'll try other connector as referenced and if that is not enough, I might add some heatsink on it and maybe add some external airflow on it.
