SFP-10G-ZR Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO for 10G links

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ZR Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO for 10G links is a hot-pluggable SFP+ module engineered for long-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over single-mode fiber. Designed for use in switches and routers with SFP+ ports, this transceiver supports extended distance uplinks and backbone links common in data centers, telecom networks and enterprise infrastructures. The module implements standard optical interfaces and is compatible with equipment that accepts SFP+ ZR-class optics for high-speed point-to-point links.

Advantages

This transceiver provides reliable 10 Gbps throughput with low power consumption and support for long-distance single-mode fiber links. Its compact SFP+ form factor enables easy installation and hot-swap maintenance without interrupting adjacent ports. The BlueOptics design emphasizes broad interoperability with common network hardware while maintaining stable optical performance over extended distances.

Suitable for

• Long-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and aggregation points
• Metro and long-haul network segments over single-mode fiber
• Data center interconnects and server uplinks requiring extended reach
• Telecom backbone links and enterprise WAN connections

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Reach: ZR-class long-reach optical performance suitable for extended-distance links
• Wavelength: Optical transmission designed for single-mode long-distance operation
• Connector type: LC duplex compatible
• Power consumption: Low-power SFP+ design

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch or router while the host device is powered on or during maintenance windows; the hot-pluggable SFP+ design supports insertion and removal without shutting down the chassis. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation and proper fiber cleanliness. After physical installation, verify link status in the network device management interface and configure port settings such as speed, duplex and any required optical monitoring features. Monitor optical power and link quality via the host device or compatible management tools to confirm stable operation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-reach performance, use high-quality single-mode fiber and LC duplex connectors, keep connector endfaces clean, and verify compatibility with the host device's SFP+ port. Observe ESD precautions during handling and follow the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for optical power budgets and link margin calculations.
