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

CBO SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-AL-BO is an SFP+ optical transceiver module that supports 10 Gbit/s data transmission over a single-fiber bidirectional (BX) link. With an LC connector and a maximum reach of 40 km, this compact, hot-pluggable SFP+ module is intended for uplink and long-distance connections in data centers, carrier and metro networks. The module’s single-fiber design allows transmit and receive signals to share the same fiber using different wavelengths, reducing fiber infrastructure while preserving full duplex 10 Gbit/s throughput.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 10 Gbit/s line rate in a compact SFP+ form factor compatible with standard 10G ports, enabling straightforward hot-pluggable upgrades and replacements. Single-fiber bidirectional operation reduces fiber cabling requirements and simplifies link deployment for long-distance connections up to 40 km. The LC connector ensures wide interoperability with existing fiber patch panels and equipment. Designed for carrier-class environments, the module supports stable high-speed links over single-mode fiber.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and aggregation equipment
• Long-distance single-mode links in metro and carrier networks
• Fiber-constrained environments where single-fiber bidirectional links reduce cabling
• Data center interconnects and campus backbone links

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into an empty 10G SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the single-mode LC patch cable to the transceiver and ensure the paired module at the remote end uses the complementary wavelength direction for BX operation. After insertion, verify link status and interface configuration in the host device, and configure speed and duplex settings if required. For safe removal, disable the interface on the host device or follow vendor procedures before extracting the module.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode LC patch cables and verify fiber polarity and wavelength pairing for BX links. Ensure host equipment supports SFP+ modules and single-fiber bidirectional operation. Operate the module within specified ambient temperature and handling guidelines to maintain link stability and extend service life.
