SFP-10G-ER Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO 10Gb/s, 40 km

CBO SFP-10G-ER Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO 10Gb/s, 40 km is a single-mode SFP+ module that supports a 10 Gigabit per second data rate and delivers optical links up to 40 km on appropriate single-mode fiber. It is designed for installation in SFP+ ports to provide long-reach 10G Ethernet and optical transport for data center uplinks, metro networks and point-to-point links where stable, high-speed single-mode connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 10 Gb/s throughput with extended reach up to 40 km, enabling long-distance connections without signal regeneration. It supports hot-pluggable installation into standard SFP+ slots and is compatible with equipment that accepts SFP+ single-mode optics. The module is intended to offer low-power operation and straightforward integration into existing fiber infrastructures, reducing the need for additional optical equipment in many long-reach scenarios.

Suitable for

• 10G network uplinks between switches and routers
• Data center interconnects and server uplinks
• Metro ring and campus backbone links
• Point-to-point long-distance optical links up to 40 km

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gb/s
• Transmission distance: up to 40 km over single-mode fiber
• Fiber type: single-mode (SMF)
• Wavelength: compatible with 10G ER optical windows (typical long-reach wavelength)
• Connector: LC duplex

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a switch, router or network interface card while the device is powered on or off, following the host equipment’s hot-plugging guidelines. Connect single-mode fiber with LC duplex connectors between transceivers at each end, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive orientation. Configure the host interface for 10 Gb/s operation if required by the device’s management interface. Verify link status and optical signal levels using the host device or external test equipment as part of commissioning.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation and cleanliness practices; inspect and clean LC connectors before mating. Match transceiver types and optical parameters at both ends of the link to ensure compatibility. Monitor optical power and error counters after installation to confirm stable operation and consider fiber span loss and connector penalties when planning links close to the 40 km limit.
