SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ER 10G ER single‑mode fiber module

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-10G-ER is an SFP+ 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver engineered for long‑reach single‑mode fiber connections. Designed for insertion into standard SFP+ ports of switches, routers and optical equipment, this 10G ER module enables extended-distance links for data center uplinks, enterprise backbones and campus network segments while maintaining protocol transparency and low power consumption.

Advantages

This single‑mode fiber module supports 10 Gbit/s data rates and is compatible with SFP+ form factor slots, offering stable performance over extended distances. The design focuses on straightforward integration with common networking hardware, low insertion loss, and reliable optical output for long‑haul transmission. Its compact SFP+ size reduces space requirements while enabling high‑speed uplink and aggregation ports.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between aggregation and core switches
• Enterprise backbone links and campus network interconnects
• Long‑reach fiber connections between buildings or wiring closets
• Optical equipment requiring SFP+ 10G ER single‑mode transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor, 10 Gigabit Ethernet compatible
• Fiber type: single‑mode optical fiber
• Reach: extended‑reach (ER) class suitable for long‑distance links
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Protocol transparency: supports Ethernet and common 10G transport protocols
• Power consumption: low power design typical for SFP+ transceivers

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or optical device, ensuring proper orientation until it latches. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cables to the transceiver ports, observing transmit/receive polarity. Configure linked interfaces on networking equipment as required for 10 Gbit/s operation and verify link status through device management. Follow equipment vendor guidance for hot‑swap and module compatibility.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑reach performance, use single‑mode OS2 fiber and LC duplex patch cords of appropriate quality, maintain clean optical connectors, and verify link power budgets for the required distance. Confirm firmware and compatibility lists of network devices before deployment to ensure full operational functionality.
