SFP+-transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-CH-BO 10 Gbit/s eenvezel LC, 40 km, BX-U

The BlueOptics SFP+ transceiver SFP-10G-BX-U-40KM-CH-BO is a compact, hot-pluggable optical module that delivers 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over a single optical fibre using an LC connector and upstream (BX-U) wavelength splitting. Engineered for long-reach links up to 40 km, this single‑fiber SFP+ supports uplinks, metro and access networks, and device interconnects where duplex fibre is not available or where fibre count must be minimized.

Advantages

This single‑fiber SFP+ module reduces fibre cabling by carrying both transmit and receive channels on one fibre through wavelength division. The hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor makes installation and replacement straightforward without powering down equipment. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports enables easy upgrades of switches, routers and media converters while maintaining 10 Gbit/s line rate and low-latency operation suitable for carrier and enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s uplinks between switches or routers where fibre is limited
• Metro and access network connections requiring long-reach single‑fiber links
• Interconnects between equipment in data centers or telecom sites over distances up to 40 km
• Fiber consolidation projects and last-mile extensions

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Interface: LC single‑fibre
• Transmission method: single‑fiber with upstream wavelength (BX-U)
• Maximum reach: up to 40 km on appropriate single-mode fibre
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable
• Application: Ethernet links, uplinks, metro/access

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on your network device until it latches. Connect an LC single‑fibre patch cable taking into account the wavelength direction: this module uses the upstream wavelength (BX-U) and requires a corresponding downstream (BX-D) module at the far end. After connection, verify link status on the equipment and confirm 10 Gbit/s operation and correct port/channel alignment. For best results, use single‑mode fibre and follow equipment vendor guidelines for optical power budgets and diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use matched BX-U/BX-D pairs for single‑fiber links, check fibre type and attenuation to ensure the 40 km reach, and handle the LC connector and transceiver module using ESD-safe practices. Monitor link parameters and replace the module if optical levels exceed vendor-specified limits.
