SFP+ Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-LRM-PA-BO 10G Multimode Fiber for 10GbE Links

The BlueOptics SFP+ Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-LRM-PA-BO is a compact optical module designed to deliver 10 Gbps connectivity over multimode fiber for compatible switches and routers. Built to the SFP+ form factor, this transceiver supports short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) links and is suitable for hot-plug installation. It offers a standardized interface for data center uplinks, server connections and campus network segments where reliable 10G multimode fiber links are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver provides standardized 10GbE performance in an industry-standard SFP+ housing, enabling straightforward integration with existing network hardware that supports SFP+ optics. Its multimode fiber capability makes it appropriate for short-range links within racks or across adjacent rooms, and the hot-pluggable design allows installation or replacement without powering down equipment. The module follows common electrical and optical specifications for predictable interoperability and consistent throughput in congested network environments.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• 10GbE server connections and blade chassis interconnects
• Campus network links across buildings or floors using multimode fiber
• Short-reach connections within wiring closets or equipment racks

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10GbE)
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber
• Optical reach: short-reach LRM-class distances over multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
• Connector type: duplex LC
• Compatibility: designed for SFP+ ports on switches and routers that support 10G multimode optics
• Power consumption: low-power SFP+ class operation suitable for typical network equipment

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch or router by aligning the module with the slot and pressing until it locks. Connect a duplex multimode LC fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the device port for 10GbE operation if required by the network equipment, and verify link status and speed through the switch or router management interface. For safe removal, disable the port or follow the equipment manufacturer’s procedure, then unlock and gently extract the module.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and clean LC connectors to maintain signal integrity. Verify that the switch or router firmware and SFP+ port support LRM-class multimode modules. Avoid bending fiber beyond recommended radii and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver. For optimal performance, test links after installation and monitor link statistics for errors or optical loss.
