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

The CBO SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-VA-BO is a BlueOptics SFP+ optical transceiver that provides 10 Gbit/s single-fiber bidirectional connectivity for distances up to 40 km. With an LC connector and BX (bi-directional) design, the module transmits and receives over a single optical fiber, enabling long-reach 10G links while minimizing fiber cabling. It is intended for use in network devices such as switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP+ form-factor modules.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver supports 10 Gbit/s line rate and a single-fiber bidirectional topology, reducing the number of fibers required for paired links. The LC connector ensures compatibility with standard patching equipment. The module is suitable for long-reach connections up to 40 km, allowing network extensions and uplinks without costly fiber duplication. Designed for the SFP+ form factor, it fits into common 10G slots and interoperates with devices that support standard SFP+ optical modules.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and routers over single-fiber links
• Long-reach connections in campus, metro or enterprise networks up to 40 km
• Media converters and transponder equipment requiring LC SFP+ modules

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector: LC duplex (single-fiber bidirectional operation)
• Optical design: BX (bi-directional) single-fiber
• Maximum link distance: up to 40 km (single-mode fiber)
• Form factor: SFP+ (10G module)

How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it latches. Connect a compatible single-mode fiber patch cable with LC connectors, ensuring the correct transmit and receive wavelengths or fiber polarity for bidirectional operation. Verify link status in the host device and configure interface settings (speed, duplex, VLANs or other network parameters) as required by your environment. Handle the module by the housing, and keep dust caps on connectors when not connected.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach applications and verify device compatibility with SFP+ BX single-fiber modules. Keep optical connectors clean and follow electrostatic discharge precautions when installing or removing the transceiver.
