Optical transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ZR 10Gbps single‑mode 80km

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-10G-ZR is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ optical transceiver for long‑reach single‑mode fiber links up to 80 km. Designed for use in standard SFP+ ports of switches, routers and optical line equipment, this module supports 10 Gbps data rates and is suitable for metro, carrier and backbone network segments that require extended reach and stable high‑speed connectivity.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a standard SFP+ form factor for broad compatibility with network equipment that accepts hot‑pluggable modules. It supports single‑mode fiber over distances up to 80 km, enabling long‑distance aggregation and backbone links without additional amplification. The module is engineered to provide consistent 10 Gbps performance and low signal degradation across long spans, which simplifies network design for metro and carrier environments.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach single‑mode links in metro and carrier networks
• 10 Gbps backbone and aggregation connections
• Interconnecting switches and routers across campus or between sites
• Optical line systems and DWDM/ROADM aggregation layers (where compatible)

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km
• Form factor: SFP+ (hot‑pluggable)
• Wavelength region: long‑reach/extended wavelength suitable for ZR class links
• Typical applications: backbone, aggregation, metro and carrier links

How to use

Insert the SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ port while the host device is powered on or off according to the equipment vendor guidelines. Connect the single‑mode fiber patch cable with the correct connector type to the module’s optical interface and ensure proper polarity. After physical installation, verify link status and negotiated speed in the host device management interface. If necessary, adjust link settings or consult the network equipment documentation for auto‑negotiation and SFP+ module support.

Recommendations

Install the transceiver in equipment approved by the vendor and use single‑mode fiber with appropriate connectors and testing to confirm end‑to‑end loss budget. For distances close to the 80 km limit, verify optical power budget and consider inline amplification or dispersion management only if required by the link budget calculations.
