Fiber optic transceiver CBO 10G-SFPP-USR 10 Gbit/s 300 m

CBO 10G-SFPP-USR is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver that supports a 10 Gbit/s data rate and a maximum reach of up to 300 m. It is designed for short-range 10G links in data centers and enterprise networks and is suitable for use with multimode and specified fiber types. The module provides a compact SFP+ form factor for hot-pluggable installation in compatible network equipment and enables reliable optical connectivity for server uplinks, switch interconnects and storage area network links.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standardized SFP+ footprint and 10 Gbit/s throughput while maintaining low power consumption appropriate for rack-mounted and blade systems. It supports short-reach optical links up to 300 m, enabling flexible cabling within data halls and across adjacent rooms. Built for interoperability with common 10G network equipment, the module simplifies upgrades from 1G to 10G and supports hot-swap replacement without system downtime.

Suitable for

• Server uplinks and top-of-rack switch connections
• Switch-to-switch interconnects within data centers
• Storage area network (SAN) and backup links
• Short-range optical links over multimode fiber installations

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Maximum link length: up to 300 m over multimode fiber (depending on fiber type and modal bandwidth)
• Form factor: SFP+
• Optical interface: short-range multimode fiber
• Hot-pluggable design for in-service replacement
• Typical power consumption: low (suitable for rack and blade systems)

How to use

Install the CBO 10G-SFPP-USR transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on switches, routers or host bus adapters following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Connect appropriate multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver’s optical interface, ensuring correct polarity and clean connector end faces. After insertion and cable connection, verify link status and speed through the network device management interface or LED indicators. For hot-swap procedures, follow the host device guidance to avoid disruption of active services.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber that matches the required modal bandwidth and attenuation characteristics for 10G short-reach links and keep connector end faces clean to maintain signal quality. Check compatibility lists for your network equipment and monitor link performance after installation. For runs approaching the 300 m limit, verify signal integrity under load and consider alternative transceivers or upgrades for longer distances.
