SFP+ Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO IB-000217 — SFP+ form factor, single-module

CBO IB-000217 is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed to provide high-speed optical links for data center and enterprise networks. Built to the SFP+ form factor, the module installs in standard SFP+ slots on compatible switches, routers and network interface cards to enable 10 Gigabit Ethernet or other high-bandwidth optical connections. The compact single-module design simplifies upgrades and replacements while delivering reliable fiber connectivity over multimode or single-mode fiber depending on system compatibility.

Advantages

The SFP+ form factor offers hot-pluggable installation and occupies minimal slot space, supporting flexible network architecture and easy maintenance. The module conforms to common optical interface standards to ensure interoperability with a wide range of network equipment. Its straightforward single-module design reduces inventory complexity for administrators replacing or scaling optical links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and core routers
• High-speed connections to servers and storage arrays
• Aggregation links in data center topologies
• Optical connectivity for enterprise campus backbone segments

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable plus)
• Function: 10 Gbps class optical transceiver for high-speed links
• Interface: standard SFP+ electrical and optical connector compatible with common SFP+ cages
• Installation: hot-pluggable single-module design for easy replacement
• Use environment: designed for integration into switches, routers and NICs in data center and enterprise networks

How to use

Install the transceiver into a free SFP+ slot on a compatible network device until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the transceiver's optical connector, observing correct fiber type and connector polarity as required by the network design. Configure the network device port according to the desired link speed and protocol; many systems will auto-negotiate 10 Gbps when supported. For safe removal, disable the port or follow the equipment vendor's hot-swap procedure before extracting the module.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or NIC vendor documentation and choose matching fiber type and connectors. Handle the optical interfaces with dust caps when not in use and avoid touching the fiber endface to maintain signal quality. Follow ESD precautions during handling and observe operating temperature and insertion/removal guidelines from the host device to ensure reliable long-term operation.
