SFP+ Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ER 10G 40km module for single-mode fiber

The CBO SFP-10G-ER is a BlueOptics SFP+ optical transceiver module designed for 10 Gbps Ethernet links over single-mode fiber with an extended reach of up to 40 km. The module follows the SFP+ form factor and standard electrical and optical interfaces, enabling compatibility with a range of 10G switches, routers and fiber interfaces. Its hot-pluggable design allows insertion and removal without powering down the host system, simplifying upgrades and maintenance in data centers and carrier networks.

Advantages

The module provides reliable 10 Gbps transmission over long single-mode fiber spans up to 40 km, reducing the need for intermediate equipment. Its SFP+ form factor supports compact port density and straightforward replacement in compatible chassis. Built to industry optical parameters for extended-reach links, the transceiver supports common 10G Ethernet deployments and helps maintain consistent throughput and signal integrity across metro and long-haul segments.

Suitable for

• Long-distance uplinks between buildings or sites over single-mode fiber
• Data center interconnects and aggregation links
• Metro or carrier Ethernet networks requiring extended reach
• Replacing or adding 10G SFP+ ports in switches and routers

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 40 km (typical single-mode link)
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver
• Interface: standard SFP+ electrical and optical interface
• Application: 10G Ethernet links, extended-reach optical connections

How to use

Install the module into a compatible SFP+ slot on a switch, router or optical transponder while the host is powered on; the hot-pluggable design permits this without shutdown. Connect a single-mode fiber cable using the appropriate connector type to the transceiver’s optical port, ensuring correct polarity and proper fiber cleanliness. Configure the host port for 10 Gbps operation if required by the equipment, verify link status and monitor optical parameters through the network device’s management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use high-quality single-mode fiber and maintain clean connectors. Verify compatibility with the target equipment’s supported SFP+ modules and update device firmware if necessary. Consider link budget including connector and splice losses when planning reaches close to 40 km.
