Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G Single-Mode BiDi SFP+

The BlueOptics Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G Single-Mode BiDi SFP+ is a compact optical module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber using bidirectional (BiDi) transmission. The module supports a single wavelength per direction to carry transmit and receive signals over one fiber pair, enabling high-density fiber connections for network uplinks, data center interconnects and metro Ethernet links. It fits standard SFP+ ports and is intended for environments that require compact transceiver form factors and efficient fiber utilization.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver provides 10 Gbit/s performance in a small form factor compatible with SFP+ ports, reducing space requirements and allowing denser optical uplinks. Bidirectional operation over single-mode fiber halves the number of fibers needed compared with separate transmit and receive fibers, lowering cabling complexity and installation costs. The module is suitable for long-reach single-mode links and is designed to integrate into standard networking equipment supporting SFP+ optics, offering simple plug-and-play replacement and interoperability with industry-standard interfaces.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Data center interconnects where fiber density is critical
• Metro Ethernet links and carrier networks requiring single-mode optics
• Upgrading server or switch ports to 10 Gbit/s using SFP+ modules

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (SFP+ compatible)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Transmission method: bidirectional (BiDi), single wavelength per direction
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
• Typical application: 10 Gigabit Ethernet links, uplinks, data center interconnects

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or network interface card while the host device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines. Connect a single-mode fiber patch cable with the appropriate LC connectors, ensuring transmit and receive orientations match the equipment ports. After physical installation, verify link status through the network device management interface and confirm 10 Gbit/s operation. If necessary, consult the network equipment manual to configure any required interface settings or to confirm compatibility with SFP+ optical modules.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode fiber and LC connectors to maintain signal integrity. Keep transceiver firmware and device drivers up to date when applicable, and follow ESD handling precautions during installation. For best results in long-reach or metropolitan deployments, verify link budget and wavelength compatibility with the remote end before deployment.
