Fiber optic transceiver CBO XFP-10GD-MMX-BO 10 Gbit/s, multimode, 300 m

CBO XFP-10GD-MMX-BO 10 Gbit/s is a fiber optic XFP transceiver module designed for 10 Gbit/s links over multimode fiber with a reach of up to 300 meters. The module fits standard XFP slots in switches, routers and servers and provides optical connectivity for short-reach 10G multimode applications in data centers and enterprise networks. It supports transmission over multimode fiber and is intended for use where reliable high-speed optical links are required between network devices.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact XFP form factor that saves slot density in network equipment while delivering full 10 Gbit/s performance. Compatibility with common multimode fiber types and a specified reach of up to 300 m simplifies cabling planning in rack-to-rack and intra-data-center links. The passive optical interface and industry-standard electrical pinout ensure interoperability with XFP-capable ports and reduce the need for additional converters or adapters.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack 10G connections in data centers over multimode fiber
• Short-reach uplinks between switches and distribution panels
• Server-to-switch optical links where multimode fiber is already deployed
• Enterprise network segments requiring 10 Gbit/s multimode links

Key specifications

• Form factor: XFP
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 300 meters over multimode fiber
• Interface: Optical duplex (LC-compatible on typical MMX transceivers)
• Application: Short-reach 10G links for data center and enterprise use

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available XFP slot on compatible network equipment following the device manufacturer’s procedure for hot-plugging or powered installation. Connect multimode fiber patch cables of appropriate grade between the LC-style optical ports of the transceiver and the corresponding port on the remote device, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and configure the equipment port for 10 Gbit/s operation as required by the switch or router management interface.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber to achieve optimal reach and signal margin up to the specified 300 m; keep connectors clean and protect fibers from sharp bends. Confirm compatibility with the host device's XFP slot and firmware, and monitor link status after installation to ensure stable 10 Gbit/s operation.
