SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D-40KM-IX-BO 10 Gbit/s LC single-fiber 40 km

CBO SFP-10G-BX-D-40KM-IX-BO is a BlueOptics SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module that supports 10 Gbit/s data rate over a single-fiber bi-directional link. With an LC connector and a nominal reach of up to 40 km, this module is intended for access, aggregation and metro networks where long-distance 10G connectivity is required while keeping cabling simple. The transceiver implements single-fiber operation using wavelength-division techniques to transmit and receive on separate wavelengths over one fiber strand.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver provides 10 Gbit/s throughput with a compact SFP+ form factor, enabling upgrades of switches and routers equipped with 10G SFP+ ports. The single-fiber design reduces fiber infrastructure by using one strand for bi-directional traffic, while the LC interface ensures compatibility with common patching hardware. The 40 km reach supports longer links in access and metro segments without the need for additional amplification or regeneration in typical installations.

Suitable for

• 10G uplinks between switches in aggregation and distribution layers
• Long-reach connections in metro or campus networks up to 40 km
• Upgrading routers or firewalls with SFP+ ports to 10 Gbit/s capacity
• Single-fiber bi-directional links where fiber availability is limited

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector type: LC
• Fiber type: single-fiber (bi-directional)
• Nominal reach: up to 40 km over single-mode fiber
• Form factor: SFP+
• Wavelength technique: bidirectional wavelengths on one fiber

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available 10G SFP+ slot on the switch or router, ensuring the module is fully seated and latched. Connect the LC single-fiber patch cable with the appropriate polarity and verify the remote module uses the complementary transmit/receive wavelengths for bi-directional operation. After connection, check link status and interface statistics on the network device to confirm 10 Gbit/s operation and link integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance links, use compliant single-mode fiber and quality LC patching. Verify device compatibility with vendor SFP+ modules where required and ensure firmware or BIOS permits third-party transceivers. Observe ESD precautions when handling optical modules and avoid bending fiber beyond recommended radii to maintain signal performance over the 40 km range.
