Optický SFP transceiver CBO SFPGLX40B13D 1550 nm 40 km

The BlueOptics Fiber Optic SFP Transceiver CBO SFPGLX40B13D 1550nm 40 km is a single-mode small form-factor pluggable module designed for optical network links up to 40 kilometres. It operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm and provides a hot-pluggable interface for switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP modules. The transceiver supports point-to-point fiber uplinks and long-distance Ethernet or telecom connections where single-mode fiber is deployed, enabling straightforward integration into existing fiber infrastructures.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a compact, hot-pluggable design that simplifies installation and maintenance without powering down equipment. The 1550 nm wavelength and single-mode compatibility deliver low attenuation over long distances, supporting reliable links up to 40 km. The module follows standard SFP form-factor conventions for broad interoperability with network equipment from multiple vendors and provides stable optical performance suitable for WAN and metropolitan connections.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Telecom and carrier access connections
• Fiber uplinks between switches or routers
• WAN links and point-to-point optical connections

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 1550 nm
• Maximum reach: up to 40 km over single-mode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Interface: optical single-fiber or duplex depending on transceiver variant and connected equipment
• Typical applications: Ethernet, telecom and WAN optical links

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on. Connect the single-mode fiber patch cable to the optical port using the appropriate connector type that matches the transceiver and the patch panel or equipment. Verify link status via the host device’s port LEDs or management interface and confirm signal levels and diagnostics where supported. If necessary, configure the interface on the host device for the required speed, duplex and protocol settings.

Recommendations

Handle the optical connector and transceiver with care to avoid contamination; always use dust caps when ports are unused and clean connectors before mating. Ensure fiber run specifications (attenuation, connector type and splice count) are suitable for a 40 km link at 1550 nm and verify compatibility with the host equipment’s SFP support list.
