Fiber optic SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10Gbps single‑fiber bidirectional

The Fiber optic SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10Gbps single‑fiber bidirectional is a compact SFP+ module engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over a single strand of single-mode fiber. It uses bi-directional (BiDi) transmission with separate transmission and reception wavelengths, enabling bidirectional traffic on one fiber while fitting standard SFP+ ports. The module is suitable for short- to medium-reach carrier and enterprise connections where fiber conservation and high throughput are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver supports 10Gbps line rates with bidirectional operation on a single fiber, reducing the number of fiber strands needed and simplifying cabling. It is compatible with standard SFP+ slots and designed for reliable optical performance in point-to-point links. The compact form factor and single‑fiber operation help optimize fiber infrastructure and reduce installation complexity in dense network environments.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-reach 10GbE links in carrier networks
• Enterprise campus backbone and data center interconnects
• Fiber-constrained sites where single-fiber solutions are preferred
• Point-to-point links between switches, routers, and optical multiplexers

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Data rate: 10.3125 Gbps (10Gbps class)
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Transmission mode: Bidirectional (single-fiber) with distinct TX and RX wavelengths
• Reach: short to medium link distances (dependent on fiber quality and link budget)
• Connector: LC duplex/bi-directional style interface (single-fiber LC connection using duplex transceiver design)

How to use

Install the SFP-10G-BX-D transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port until it latches securely. Connect the single-mode fiber using the correct LC connector and observe the specified TX/RX orientation so that the local transmit wavelength is connected to the remote receive port. Configure the host device for 10Gbps operation if necessary and verify link status through network equipment diagnostics or LEDs. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and protect the fiber endfaces from contamination.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode fiber with appropriate attenuation characteristics, ensure proper connector cleanliness, and verify compatibility with the host equipment's SFP+ interface. When deploying in carrier or data center environments, plan link budgets to account for connectors, splices and any passive components used in the run.
