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

CBO SFP-10G-ZR is an SFP+ optical transceiver module that supports a 10 Gbps data rate and a maximum single-span link distance of up to 80 km. Designed for long-reach Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications, the module fits into standard SFP+ ports and allows hot-pluggable installation without shutting down equipment. The transceiver implements a single-wavelength interface suitable for carrier-grade links, metro networks and data centre uplinks that require stable 10G connectivity over extended distances.

Advantages

The SFP+ transceiver delivers 10 Gbps performance with long-reach capability up to 80 km, enabling reduced need for intermediate regeneration equipment. Its hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor provides easy installation and replacement in compatible network switches and routers. The module is designed to meet the physical and optical requirements of long-distance links, offering consistent signal integrity and predictable link behaviour for network planning and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Metro Ethernet connections between sites up to 80 km apart
• Data centre uplinks and inter-rack links requiring 10G long-reach
• Carrier and service provider networks for high-bandwidth links
• Fibre Channel and SAN links where extended reach is needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Maximum link distance: up to 80 km over single-mode fiber
• Wavelength: single-channel long-reach optical wavelength
• Interface: duplex fiber (LC)
• Hot-pluggable: yes
• Application: long-reach Ethernet and Fibre Channel

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or host bus adapter while the device is powered according to the vendor’s hot-swap guidance. Connect the duplex single-mode fiber using LC connectors, observe correct transmit/receive orientation and ensure fiber continuity and cleanliness. Configure the network equipment for 10 Gbps operation and verify link status and optical power levels through the host device management interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance links, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation margins, keep connectors and patch panels clean, and verify optical power and signal parameters during commissioning. Ensure compatibility with the equipment vendor’s SFP+ port specifications and consult link budget calculations for 80 km spans, including connector and splice losses.
