SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D-40KM-GM-BO, 10 Gbit/s, single-mode LC, 40 km, bidirectional

SFP+ CBO SFP-10G-BX-D-40KM-GM-BO is a 10 Gbit/s optical transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber links with an LC connector and a 40 km reach. Intended for bidirectional (BX) transmission, the module supports compact, hot-pluggable installation in compatible SFP+ slots of switches, routers and optical networking equipment. The transceiver is suitable for uplink and long-distance 10GbE connections in data center, metro and enterprise environments where single-fiber, cost-efficient links are required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 10 Gbit/s line rate over single-mode fiber and supports bidirectional operation on a single fiber pair, reducing fiber cabling requirements. Its LC interface ensures compatibility with common single-mode patchcords and passive components. The hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor enables maintenance or upgrades without powering down network devices. The module is optimized for long-reach links up to 40 km, making it suitable for inter-building and metro aggregation connections.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Long-distance links in data centers and campus networks
• Metro aggregation and access networks using single-mode fiber
• Space-constrained installations requiring SFP+ form factor

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector: LC duplex
• Reach: up to 40 km (single-mode)
• Transmission type: bidirectional (BX)
• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on the network device until it latches. Connect the LC patchcord between the module and the single-mode fiber network. For bidirectional BX operation, ensure the corresponding transceiver at the remote end is the complementary direction variant and that transmit/receive wavelengths match the link design. Confirm link status via the device management interface and monitor signal and error statistics to verify proper operation.

Recommendations

Use factory-tested single-mode LC patchcords and maintain proper fiber handling to avoid contamination of connectors. Verify optical budget and link loss for 40 km spans and consider inline amplification or dispersion management only if required by the link characteristics. Ensure firmware and compatibility lists of switches or routers include support for SFP+ transceivers in third-party modules if vendor lock-in is a concern.
