SFP-10G-ZR Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO 10G — single‑mode, LC

The CBO SFP-10G-ZR Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO 10G — single‑mode, LC is a 10 Gigabit SFP module engineered for long‑reach single‑mode fiber links. Designed in a compact SFP form factor with an LC duplex connector, this BlueOptics transceiver supports 10G Ethernet connections over extended distances suitable for core, aggregation and metro network segments. The module is intended for use where high‑capacity uplinks and backbone connections are required while maintaining a small physical footprint for flexible port upgrades.

Advantages

The module delivers 10 Gbps performance optimized for long‑haul single‑mode fiber with an LC interface, enabling high‑speed data transmission across extended distances. Its compact SFP housing allows easy hot‑swap installation into compatible switch or router ports to expand capacity without replacing entire line cards. The product is compliant with SFP mechanical and optical form‑factor conventions, offering predictable interoperability with standard 10G network equipment and simplified inventory management due to its common connector and form factor.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between aggregation and core switches
• ISP backbone and metro fiber connections
• Enterprise WAN links and long‑distance campus interconnects
• Network equipment port upgrades where LC single‑mode SFP transceivers are supported

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Fiber type: single‑mode (SMF)
• Connector: LC duplex
• Form factor: SFP (hot‑pluggable)
• Typical application: long‑reach links (ZR class)
• Optical interface: duplex LC for single‑mode operation

How to use

Install the transceiver into an empty SFP port on a compatible switch, router, or media converter with the device powered on or during maintenance windows as supported by the host. Connect a single‑mode LC duplex fiber cable between transceiver ports and the remote endpoint, ensuring correct polarity. Verify link status and 10G speed negotiation in the host device management interface and monitor optical diagnostics where supported. If necessary, adjust network configuration (interfaces, VLANs, MTU) on the host to accommodate 10G uplinks.

Recommendations

Use low‑loss single‑mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for long‑reach transmission. Avoid tight bends and protect connectors from contamination; clean endfaces before mating. Confirm compatibility with host equipment transceiver support lists and enable optical monitoring to track signal levels and temperature for reliable long‑term operation.
