SFP+ Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-LRM — 10 Gbps, LRM multimode

CBO SFP-10G-LRM is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver designed to deliver 10 Gbps data throughput over Long Reach Multimode (LRM) multimode fiber links. The module fits standard SFP+ ports on switches, routers and servers and provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for short- to medium-distance multimode connections in data centers and telecom environments. Built for compatibility with network equipment that supports 10G multimode operation, the transceiver supports reliable transmission across existing multimode fiber infrastructures where LRM optics are appropriate.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 10 Gbps performance in a compact SFP+ form factor, enabling higher port density and straightforward upgrades of multimode links without replacing existing cabling. Its LRM design improves reach on multimode fiber compared with standard short-range optics, providing flexibility for connecting equipment across server rooms or within campus buildings. The hot-pluggable interface simplifies installation and replacement, while compatibility with common SFP+ slots reduces the need for specialized hardware.

Suitable for

• Upgrading multimode links to 10 Gbps in data center top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Short- to medium-distance connections within server rooms and telecommunication closets
• Interconnects between routers, switches and servers using multimode fiber with LRM support

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable plus)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Media type: Multimode fiber (LRM — Long Reach Multimode)
• Typical application distance: short to medium reach on multimode fiber
• Interface: Duplex LC connector
• Hot-pluggable for in-service installation and replacement

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an empty SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or server until it clicks into place, then secure any module latch if present. Connect duplex multimode fiber with LC connectors, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation, verify link status and configure the device port as required by your network equipment. Remove the transceiver by releasing the latch and pulling it straight out; protect unused ports and transceiver ends with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use multimode fiber cabling and patch cords of appropriate multimode grade (e.g., OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 as supported by your LRM deployment) and maintain clean connector end-faces. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s SFP+ slot and firmware, and test links after installation to ensure expected throughput and signal integrity.
