SFP-10G-ZR fiber optic transceiver CBO — 10 Gbps, single‑mode, up to 80 km

The SFP-10G-ZR fiber optic transceiver CBO by BlueOptics is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ module engineered for single‑mode links with a reach of up to 80 km. Designed to operate in long‑reach network environments, this transceiver supports 10 Gbps data rates and is compatible with SFP+ ports on switches, routers and transport equipment that accept pluggable modules. The module provides reliable optical transmission over single‑mode fiber for backbone, metro and carrier connections where extended distance and stable performance are required.

Advantages

This CBO SFP-10G-ZR module offers high‑speed 10 Gbps throughput while maintaining low power consumption and compact SFP+ form factor. Its single‑mode design and extended reach up to 80 km reduce the need for intermediate regeneration or additional equipment on long links. The transceiver is suitable for use in mixed vendor environments that support SFP+ optics and is built to meet standard optical interface parameters for predictable link behavior.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach backbone connections between data center racks and POP sites
• Metro and carrier transport links requiring up to 80 km reach
• Interconnects between core switches and routers over single‑mode fiber
• Upgrading existing networks to 10 Gbps without replacing fiber plant

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km (depending on fiber quality and link budget)
• Form factor: SFP+ (pluggable transceiver)
• Interface: optical duplex connector (LC)
• Wavelength range: typical long‑reach transmission wavelength for 10G ZR optics
• Power consumption: low power SFP+ class (exact power depends on operation)

How to use

Install the SFP-10G-ZR module into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or transport device, ensuring the device supports 10 Gbps SFP+ optics. Connect single‑mode fiber with LC duplex connectors and verify fiber polarity. After insertion, check the host device management interface or port LEDs to confirm link status and negotiated speed. Adjust optical power levels and link parameters according to the equipment vendor guidelines and perform basic link tests such as continuity and optical power measurements to validate the connection.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality single‑mode fiber and maintain clean LC connectors to ensure optimal performance over long distances. Verify transceiver compatibility with the host equipment and consult link budget calculations for each installation to confirm achievable reach up to 80 km.
