Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ZR 10G Fiber Optic Module — 80 km

CBO SFP-10G-ZR is a single‑mode 10G SFP+ fiber optic transceiver designed for long‑distance optical links up to 80 km. Compatible with Viavi specifications and branded by BlueOptics, this module supports 10 Gbps data rates over single‑mode fiber and is intended for backbone, metro, long‑haul and data center interconnect applications. The transceiver provides a compact hot‑pluggable form factor for SFP+ ports and integrates into standard network switches, routers and optical equipment that accept SFP+ modules.

Advantages

The transceiver combines high data throughput with long reach, enabling 10 Gbps connectivity across distances up to 80 km without intermediate optical amplification. Its SFP+ form factor allows hot‑swap installation and reduces downtime during infrastructure changes. Compatibility with Viavi specifications ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking hardware, while single‑mode fiber operation supports low‑loss transmission and stable signal integrity over long spans.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance backbone links between sites and POPs
• Metro ring and aggregation networks
• Data center interconnects and server-to-switch uplinks
• Service provider long‑haul segments and MAN deployments

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ (hot‑pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km (typical, depends on fiber and link margin)
• Wavelength: long‑reach optical wavelength suitable for ZR class links
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Operating temperature: industrial/commercial ranges depend on manufacturer specifications

How to use

Install the SFP-10G-ZR module into an SFP+ slot of a compatible switch, router or optical device while the host is powered on or off according to the equipment manual. Connect an LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cable to the module’s connectors, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link status and speed through the host device’s management interface and monitor optical parameters if available. Ensure the remote endpoint uses a matching 10G single‑mode transceiver and appropriate fiber attenuation to achieve the required link budget.

Recommendations

Use certified single‑mode fiber and LC duplex connectors, keep fiber connectors clean to prevent signal loss, and confirm compatibility with the host device’s SFP+ port and firmware. For links approaching the 80 km limit, calculate link budget considering fiber attenuation, connector/splice losses and any additional margins; consider using appropriate dispersion management or optical amplification if required.
