SFP+ 10G Optical Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ER 10 Gigabit ER single-mode

The CBO SFP-10G-ER is an SFP+ 10 Gigabit optical transceiver engineered for long-reach single-mode fiber connections. Designed to fit standard SFP+ ports, this module supports 10G data rates with ER-class (Extended Reach) transmission characteristics to enable reliable links across extended distances in data centers, carrier networks and enterprise backbones. The transceiver provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for uplinks, core links and long-distance fiber interconnects where single-mode performance and 10 Gigabit capacity are required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER delivers extended reach performance while maintaining compatibility with standard SFP+ interfaces, allowing integration into existing networking equipment without hardware changes. Its optical design supports stable 10G throughput over single-mode fiber, reducing the need for intermediate regeneration or additional amplifiers on long runs. The module’s compact SFP+ form factor and hot-pluggable capability simplify installation and maintenance, and its predictable optical characteristics support network planning and link budget calculations.

Suitable for

• Long-distance uplinks between data center racks or buildings over single-mode fiber
• Core network links in carrier and metro environments requiring 10G capacity
• Aggregation and backbone connections where extended reach is necessary
• Fiber interconnects between network equipment in campus or telco installations

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Transmission class: ER (Extended Reach)
• Wavelength band: typical for 10G ER modules (single-mode optics)
• Connector type: LC duplex compatible
• Power consumption: typical low-power SFP+ class

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting the SFP+ module into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or transceiver cage while the host device is powered according to the equipment vendor’s instructions. Connect single-mode fiber with LC duplex connectors, ensuring proper polarity and clean fiber endfaces. Verify link status and negotiated 10G speed on the host device management interface. For extended links, confirm that link budget and attenuation meet ER-class requirements and that fiber path uses single-mode cabling.

Recommendations

When deploying the SFP-10G-ER for long-reach links, use tested single-mode fiber with LC duplex connectors, keep fiber connectors clean, and validate optical power budget against the ER-class specifications. Monitor link performance after installation and ensure the host device firmware supports SFP+ modules and 10G ER optics for optimal interoperability.
