SFP+ Transceiver Module CBO 0231A363-BO 10 Gbit/s 850 nm

The SFP+ Transceiver Module CBO 0231A363-BO 10 Gbit/s 850 nm is a hot-pluggable optical module designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. Engineered for insertion into SFP+ ports, this BlueOptics module uses an 850 nm VCSEL to deliver up to 10 Gbit/s data transfer for uplinks, server connections and storage networking in data center and enterprise environments. Its compact SFP+ form factor allows straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing transceiver ports without additional cabling changes.

Advantages

The transceiver supports 10 Gbit/s line rates and is optimized for multimode fiber, providing predictable short-reach performance with low power consumption and compatibility with standard SFP+ slots. Its hot-pluggable design simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime when installing or replacing modules. The 850 nm wavelength and multimode operation make it suitable for economical short-distance links in racks and between adjacent equipment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in data center switches and routers
• Server-to-switch connections within racks
• Short-reach storage area network (SAN) links
• Interconnections between adjacent equipment cabinets

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for insertion into SFP+ ports
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Wavelength: 850 nm VCSEL
• Cable type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Reach: designed for short-reach multimode links (typical rack- and cabinet-level distances)
• Power: low-power SFP+ transceiver class
• Installation: hot-pluggable

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a switch, server NIC or storage device until it clicks into place, then connect the multimode fiber patch cord to the transceiver receptacle. Ensure that the connected fiber type and connector (for example, LC duplex) match the transceiver requirements and that link partners are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation. The module is hot-pluggable, so it can be installed or removed without powering down compatible equipment. Monitor link status on the host device to confirm successful negotiation and optical signal levels.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 where higher margin is required), proper LC duplex connectors and maintain clean fiber endfaces to ensure reliable optical performance. Verify compatibility with the host equipment’s SFP+ port and check vendor guidance for supported transceiver lists if needed.
