SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ER-HC-BO 10G ER fiber optic module

The SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ER-HC-BO 10G ER fiber optic module is a compact, hot-pluggable device for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links requiring extended reach. It is designed to fit standard SFP+ ports on switches, routers and network appliances and to support long-distance single-mode fiber connections. The transceiver implements the ER (Extended Reach) optical specification to enable reliable 10 Gbps transmission over extended metropolitan and campus links and between data center sites.

Advantages

This SFP+ module provides stable 10 Gbps performance with improved optical budget for long-reach links, enabling connectivity over single-mode fiber at distances typical for ER-class devices. Its hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor simplifies installation and replacement without shutting down host equipment. The module is compatible with standard SFP+ interfaces, supports industry-standard power and optical specifications, and is engineered for consistent signal integrity and low bit-error rates on long-haul connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and routers across metro and campus networks
• Long-distance links between data center racks or buildings
• Carrier and service provider transport segments requiring 10G ER connectivity
• Upgrading network equipment to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Optical range class: ER (Extended Reach)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable
• Wavelength: designed for long-reach single-mode transmission
• Connector type: LC duplex

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on your switch, router or network appliance while the host is powered on if hot-swap capability is available. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber between corresponding transceivers at each end of the link, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status on the host device and configure interface settings (speed, duplex, and any required optical parameters) according to the equipment documentation. Follow standard fiber handling procedures to avoid contaminating connectors and to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Use clean LC connectors and inspect fiber endfaces before mating; keep fiber patch cords within bend-radius limits and secure transceivers in appropriate ports. Confirm compatibility with the host device firmware and enable any necessary interface configurations for 10G operation. For long-distance deployments, calculate link loss and ensure fiber attenuation and connector losses are within the ER optical budget.
