SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-BC-BO fiber optic module, CBO, 10 Gbps, single-fiber LC, 40 km

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-BC-BO fiber optic module is a compact SFP transceiver designed for single-fiber bidirectional 10 Gbps links with an LC connector and a 40 km reach. It supports bidirectional (BX) transmission on a single fiber strand, enabling high-speed uplinks, WAN connections and data center interconnects where fiber port density and distance efficiency are required.

Advantages

This SFP module combines the compact SFP form factor with single-fiber bidirectional transmission to reduce fiber cabling without sacrificing throughput. The LC connector and 40 km distance capability provide flexible deployment options for network uplinks and long-reach links. Designed for standard 10 Gbps ports, the transceiver offers reliable long-distance connectivity in a small, hot-pluggable package.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps network uplinks between switches and routers
• WAN links and metropolitan area connections
• Data centre interconnects and aggregation links
• Single-fiber installations where minimizing fiber count is important

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Transmission type: bidirectional (BX) on a single fiber strand
• Connector type: LC
• Form factor: SFP
• Maximum reach: 40 km

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-BC-BO module into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or optical device while the host is powered on or off, following the vendor’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with LC connectors, observing correct transmit/receive orientation for BX operation. Configure the network interface on the host device for 10 Gbps operation and verify link status and diagnostics through the host management interface.

Recommendations

Use clean, certified single-mode fiber and LC connectors to maintain signal integrity over long distances. Verify compatibility with the equipment vendor’s supported transceivers and consult link budget calculations for margin when deploying near the 40 km range.
