Transceptor SFP+ CBO SFP-10G-ZR 10G monomodo 80 km

The BlueOptics CBO SFP-10G-ZR is an SFP+ transceiver module engineered for 10 Gbps single-mode fiber links with an extended reach up to 80 km. This compact, hot-pluggable module is intended for installation in SFP+ ports of switches, routers and optical transport equipment where reliable long-distance 10G connectivity is required. The transceiver supports DWDM/long-reach single-mode environments and is suitable for metro networks, data center interconnects and enterprise WAN links that demand stable high-speed transport over long fiber spans.

Advantages

The module delivers a stable 10 Gbps data rate with optical performance designed for distances up to 80 km on single-mode fiber, enabling long-haul links without intermediate regeneration. Its SFP+ form factor provides a compact, hot-swappable interface for straightforward integration into existing networking hardware. The transceiver is compliant with standard SFP+ electrical and optical interfaces, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of switches and routers that accept SFP+ optics.

Suitable for

• Metro area networking and ring topologies requiring long-reach 10G links
• Data center interconnects (DCI) between buildings or sites up to 80 km apart
• Enterprise WAN links and campus backbones with single-mode fiber infrastructure
• Service provider access and aggregation layers where extended reach is needed

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ compatible)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 80 km
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Wavelength: designed for long-reach optical transmission (ZR class)
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable transceiver

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on the switch, router or optical transponder until it latches. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables between transceivers at each end of the link, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure link parameters on the networking equipment are configured for 10 Gbps operation and that any required optical power budgets and fiber attenuation for the 80 km span are validated. The module supports hot-swapping; remove with the host port disabled if required by your hardware vendor recommendations.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation characteristics and quality LC connectors; verify end-to-end optical power margin and perform optical loss testing for long spans. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment and firmware, and follow manufacturer guidance on handling ESD-sensitive devices. For reliable long-distance operation, plan route diversity and consider optical amplification or regeneration only if necessary based on measured link loss.
