Optický transceiver CBO SFP-10G-LRM 10 Gbit/s SFP+ LRM modul

The BlueOptics Fiber optic transceiver CBO SFP-10G-LRM 10Gbps SFP+ LRM module is a hot-pluggable SFP+ transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber using the LRM (Long Reach Multimode) specification. It fits standard SFP+ ports in network switches and servers to enable medium-distance multimode links while simplifying upgrades and replacements. The module supports typical SFP+ electrical and optical interfaces, offering a compact option for data center, campus and enterprise networks that require 10 Gbps connectivity over multimode cabling.

Advantages

This transceiver provides a balance of performance and compatibility: its SFP+ form factor allows easy installation or hot-swap without powering down equipment, and the LRM specification enables improved reach on legacy multimode fiber compared with short-reach modules. The module is suitable for mixed environments where multimode cabling is in place and 10 Gbps capacity is required. Compact size and standardized interface reduce inventory complexity and support straightforward maintenance and fast on-site replacement.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber in data centers and server rooms
• Campus and enterprise network uplinks between switches and aggregation points
• Upgrading existing multimode infrastructure to 10 Gbps without replacing fiber cabling
• Hot-swap replacement for failed or obsolete SFP+ transceivers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Optical type: Multimode fiber (LRM specification)
• Typical application: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Reach: medium-distance multimode links (LRM-class reach over installed multimode fiber)
• Connector type: LC duplex fiber connector compatible
• Power and thermal: low-power SFP+ module profile suitable for switch and server ports

How to use

Install the module into a compatible SFP+ port on a network switch, router or server while the device is powered on if the platform supports hot-plugging. Ensure the module is seated firmly and latched in the cage, then connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords with correct polarity. Configure the host network interface or switch port for 10 Gbps operation and verify link status and diagnostics via the device management interface. For fault isolation, swap the module between known-good ports or systems to confirm transceiver behaviour.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber patch cords and patch panels in good condition, verify connector cleanliness before mating, and follow manufacturer guidelines for handling optical modules to avoid ESD damage. Confirm that the installed multimode fiber type and channel conditions meet LRM reach expectations, and check switch compatibility notes for SFP+ modules to ensure link negotiation and power parameters match the system.
