SFP transceiver CBO SFP-GLM-A-BO 10 Gbit/s 850 nm

CBO BlueOptics SFP-GLM-A-BO is a hot-pluggable SFP transceiver module that supports 10 Gbit/s data transmission over short-range multimode fiber at an 850 nm wavelength. The module fits standard SFP ports on network switches and servers and is intended for establishing high-speed links in data centers, campus networks and server interconnects. Its compact form factor and low power consumption simplify upgrades and replacements while providing stable optical performance for short-distance multimode fiber links.

Advantages

The transceiver offers 10 Gbit/s throughput for high-bandwidth applications and is optimized for short-range multimode fiber with an 850 nm wavelength, ensuring compatibility with common fiber cabling in local network environments. Being hot-pluggable, it allows insertion and removal without powering down the host device, which reduces maintenance windows. The small SFP form factor supports a wide range of switches and servers, enabling flexible deployment and replacement. Designed for predictable optical behaviour, it helps maintain link integrity and minimize downtime in densely populated rack and campus environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port on a compatible switch or server until it clicks into place. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable with matching connectors to the transceiver's optical interface, ensuring correct polarity. Configure the host device as required for a 10 Gbit/s link — verify port settings and, if necessary, enable or adjust link parameters in the switch or server management interface. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful negotiation and optical signal presence.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and clean fiber connectors to maintain optimal optical performance. Verify transceiver compatibility with the host device’s SFP port and consult equipment documentation for supported optical modules. For best results in data centre and campus environments, use appropriate patch panels and fiber management to avoid excessive bending and connector contamination.
