SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-F1-BO 10 Gbit/s LC Single-Fiber BX-U 40 km

CBO SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-F1-BO is an SFP+ optical transceiver module that supports 10 Gbit/s data transmission over a single optical fiber using an LC connector. Engineered for bidirectional single-fiber operation (BX-U), this transceiver enables point-to-point links with a maximum reach of up to 40 km, making it suitable for long-reach uplinks and metro or access network segments. The module is intended for use in 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments where single-fiber deployment simplifies fiber cabling and reduces infrastructure requirements.

Advantages

The transceiver supports full 10 Gbit/s throughput with low power consumption and a compact SFP+ form factor compatible with a wide range of switches, routers and network equipment that accept SFP+ optical modules. Bidirectional single-fiber design halves fiber count compared with dual-fiber solutions, reducing cabling complexity and providing cost-efficient long-distance connectivity. The LC connector provides a standardized physical interface for easy installation and interchangeability.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and aggregation points
• Metro access links and long-reach connections in service provider networks
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links where fiber availability is limited
• Network extension over single-fiber runs up to 40 km

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Transmission mode: single-fiber bidirectional (BX-U)
• Maximum reach: up to 40 km
• Connector type: LC
• Form factor: SFP+
• Wavelength: bidirectional pair (separate Tx and Rx wavelengths over one fiber)
• Typical power consumption: low (SFP+ class module)

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ port on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place, then connect an LC single-fiber cable configured for bidirectional operation. Ensure the remote end uses the complementary BX transceiver with matching wavelength direction. Verify link status on both devices and configure interface settings such as speed and duplex according to network requirements. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for hot-swap handling and ESD precautions during installation.

Recommendations

Use this module in environments that require single-fiber long-reach links and confirm compatibility with the host device's SFP+ transceiver support list. For reliable operation, employ quality single-fiber LC patching and observe proper fiber handling to avoid attenuation from bends or contamination. Monitor link performance and replace transceivers if link errors or reduced signal levels are observed.
