SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ER 10G 40 km

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-10G-ER 10G 40 km is an SFP+ optical transceiver module that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet with a single-mode fiber link reach of up to 40 kilometres. The module is designed for long-distance fiber connections and fits into standard SFP+ ports, providing a compact, hot-pluggable interface for uplink, metro or campus backbone and data centre interconnect applications. It implements the necessary optical and electrical interfaces to deliver reliable 10G connectivity over extended links.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers compatibility with 10G SFP+ ports and a long transmission range suitable for extended single-mode fiber runs. Its compact hot-swappable form factor minimises downtime during installation or replacement. The module provides stable optical performance for high-bandwidth traffic and is suited for environments where space and power efficiency are important. The design supports standard optical wavelengths and connector types for straightforward integration into existing fiber networks.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Metro and campus backbone links up to 40 km
• Data centre interconnects and server uplinks
• Long-distance single-mode fiber runs in carrier or enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor, hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 40 km over single-mode fiber
• Optical connector: standard LC duplex
• Transmit wavelength: typical long-range optical wavelength for ER class
• Power consumption: low-power SFP+ class module
• Operating environment: designed for indoor network equipment installation

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your equipment vendor, then insert the transceiver into an empty SFP+ slot until it clicks into place. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables to the transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. After physical installation the host device should recognise the module and negotiate a 10G link; verify link status and optical parameters via the switch or router management interface. For removal, follow the host equipment’s hot-swap guidelines to avoid data loss or module damage.

Recommendations

Use clean LC connectors and proper fiber handling to maintain optical performance. Confirm compatibility with the host device and verify link budget for 40 km runs including any splices or patch panels. Store and transport the transceiver in protective packaging when not installed, and follow ESD precautions during installation.
