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

CBO SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-AO-BO is an SFP+ optical transceiver module that supports 10 Gbit/s data rate over a single-fiber bidirectional (BX-U) link with an LC connector. Engineered for long-distance links up to 40 km, this module enables high-speed connections between switches, routers and other SFP+ ports while conserving fiber infrastructure by using a single strand for transmit and receive. The module is intended for carrier and enterprise network environments that require reliable, high-throughput fiber links over metropolitan or campus distances.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 10 Gbit/s throughput with single-fiber bidirectional transmission, reducing the number of fiber strands required for paired links. Its LC interface provides wide compatibility with standard optical patching panels and cabling. Designed for distances up to 40 km, the module supports long-reach links without the need for additional repeaters or amplifiers under typical conditions. The compact SFP+ form factor saves space in chassis-based equipment and allows flexible deployment in existing SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point 10G links between switches and routers
• Metro and campus backbone connections up to 40 km
• Carrier and enterprise access networks using single-fiber BX transceivers
• Space-constrained network equipment with SFP+ ports

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector: LC
• Transmission type: Single-fiber bidirectional (BX-U)
• Maximum link distance: up to 40 km
• Form factor: SFP+

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on your switch or router until it clicks into place. Use a single-fiber LC patch cable with appropriate polarity and pair it with a matching downstream BX transceiver (complementary wavelength direction) at the far end. Ensure both devices are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation and verify link status in the equipment management interface. Follow device vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and electrostatic discharge precautions during installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, confirm that the remote transceiver supports single-fiber bidirectional BX operation and that the link budget covers fiber attenuation and connector losses for distances up to 40 km. Use quality single-mode fiber and LC connectors, avoid tight bends, and observe standard ESD handling when inserting or removing the module.
