SFP+ transceiver module CBO 00NU537-BO 10 Gbit/s 850 nm

The SFP+ transceiver module CBO 00NU537-BO 10 Gbit/s 850 nm is a compact, hot-pluggable optical interface designed for short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this BlueOptics module supports reliable high-speed connections over multimode fiber, providing a space-efficient solution for data center uplinks, server interconnects and SAN environments. The module’s form factor and electrical interface make it compatible with SFP+ ports on many switches, routers and servers that accept standard SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver delivers 10 Gbit/s throughput with low power consumption and hot-pluggable convenience, enabling fast deployment and replacement without system downtime. The 850 nm wavelength is optimized for short-reach multimode fiber links, offering stable optical performance for typical data center distances. Its small form factor allows high port density in networking equipment while maintaining interoperability with devices that support standard SFP+ optics.

Suitable for

• Data center 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches
• Server-to-switch connections in rack and blade servers
• Storage area network (SAN) links and backup paths
• Short-range multimode fiber links within campus and building backbones

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Optical reach: short-range over multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 typical)
• Connector type: duplex LC
• Application: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible protocols

How to use

Insert the module into an empty SFP+ port until it clicks into place and ensure the host device recognizes the transceiver. Connect duplex LC multimode fiber patch cables to the module’s optical ports, matching transmit and receive fibers correctly. Monitor link/activity indicators on the network equipment to confirm successful link negotiation at 10 Gbit/s. For removal, power down the link if required by the host device’s maintenance procedures, then press the module’s release tab and pull it straight out.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber for best reach and performance at 850 nm. Keep optical connectors clean and capped when not in use to avoid signal degradation. Verify compatibility with the target switch or server vendor’s supported transceiver list to ensure proper operation and firmware interoperability.
