CBO Transceiver SFP-100-LC-SM40 Fiber Optic Module 100 Mbps, Single-Mode, 40 km

CBO SFP-100-LC-SM40 is a single-mode fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for use in compatible Alcatel-Lucent ports and similar networking equipment. The module supports a 100 Mbps data rate over single-mode fiber with a reach of up to 40 km and uses an LC duplex connector. It provides a compact hot-pluggable solution for long-distance Ethernet links, telecom and datacom connections, and network uplinks, enabling stable point-to-point transmission with low power consumption and straightforward installation.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers reliable 100 Mbps performance over long distances with single-mode fiber, using standardized LC interfaces for broad compatibility. Hot-swap capability allows replacement or upgrades without powering down the host device. Its compact SFP form factor conserves space in chassis and switches, while the module is engineered for stable optical transmission and low electrical power draw suitable for continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Ethernet links between buildings or sites
• Telecom and datacom point-to-point connections
• Network uplinks and backbone segments in enterprise and service provider networks
• Environments requiring hot-swappable optical modules for maintenance or upgrades

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 100 Mbps
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 40 km
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Application: Ethernet, telecom and datacom links, network uplinks
• Operating feature: Hot-pluggable

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on the switch, router or optical transceiver shelf until it seats firmly. Connect single-mode LC fiber patch cords to the LC duplex connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. The module is designed for hot-swap operation; when replacing or installing, remove or insert the module while the host device is powered on if supported. After installation, verify link status and configure the network interface at 100 Mbps if required by the host device.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for long-haul links and LC duplex patch cords of appropriate quality. Ensure connectors are clean and dust-free prior to insertion to maintain optical performance. Confirm compatibility with the host device vendor’s supported SFP modules and configure link settings on switches or routers to match the module’s 100 Mbps operation.
