SFP+-transceiver CBO SFP-10G-ER 10G 40km

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-ER is an SFP+ optical transceiver engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber with a reach of up to 40 km. Designed to fit standard SFP+ ports, this module enables long-reach connectivity between switches, routers and transmission equipment in data center uplinks, metro and campus network environments. It supports high-speed, low-latency optical transmission suitable for backbone and aggregation links where stable 10G performance is required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a 10 Gbps data rate over single-mode fiber for long-distance connections, reducing the need for intermediate equipment. Its SFP+ form factor offers hot-pluggable installation and compatibility with a wide range of networking devices that accept SFP+ modules. The module is optimized for stable optical performance and consistent signal integrity across extended fiber runs, helping maintain reliable links and reduce packet loss and retransmissions.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and server-to-switch connections
• Metro Ethernet and regional aggregation links
• Campus network interbuilding connections over single-mode fiber
• High-speed backbone links between switches and routers

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ receptacle, hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum link length: up to 40 km (depending on fiber quality and network conditions)
• Optical wavelength: designed for long-reach operation (ER-class wavelength range)
• Transmission format: serial 10G optical

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into an available SFP+ port on your switch, router or optical transport device while the host port is powered down or following the device vendor’s hot-swap procedures. Attach the appropriate single-mode fiber cable with LC connectors to the transceiver’s optical port, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host device’s interface for 10 Gbps operation and verify link status through the device management interface. Monitor optical power levels and link statistics to confirm stable operation after installation.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode fiber and LC connectors, keep connector endfaces clean, and follow vendor guidance for optical power budgets. Verify compatibility with the host device and perform link tests after installation. For runs approaching the maximum reach, check fiber attenuation and consider dispersion and connector/splice losses to ensure reliable 10G transmission.
