SFP+ 10G Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U for Single‑fiber Bidirectional Links

CBO SFP-10G-BX-U is an SFP+ 10 Gigabit fiber optic transceiver designed for single-fiber bidirectional links. The module fits standard SFP+ ports and delivers 10G data transmission over a single optical strand by using separate transmit and receive wavelengths. It is intended for network uplinks, aggregation ports on switches and routers, and metro/access segments where conserving fiber count and maintaining full-duplex 10G connectivity on one fiber are required.

Advantages

The transceiver supports SFP+ form factor compatibility and 10 Gigabit throughput while enabling bidirectional operation on a single fiber, reducing cabling complexity and fiber usage. It provides stable optical performance for uplink and aggregation applications and is suitable for mixed-vendor environments that accept SFP+ modules following standard optical interfaces. The compact module eases installation and replacement in SFP+ ports without special tools.

Suitable for

• 10G uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Single-fiber metro and access links where fiber resources are limited
• High-density cabinet installations that require reduced fiber cabling
• Routers and line cards with SFP+ ports supporting bidirectional optics

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Link type: Single-fiber bidirectional (BiDi) operation
• Wavelengths: Separate TX and RX wavelengths on one fiber (bidirectional wavelengths)
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector type: LC duplex/LC footprint for single-fiber BiDi cabling
• Optical reach: Suitable for short to metro-range links (refer to system planning for exact distances)
• Power and heat: Low-power SFP+ class module compatible with standard SFP+ cages

How to use

Install the SFP-10G-BX-U into an available SFP+ slot on a switch, router or transceiver-capable device while the device is powered according to the vendor's hot-swap guidelines. Connect a single-fiber patch cable that matches the required LC single-fiber BiDi wiring and ensure the remote end uses the complementary wavelength transceiver so TX and RX are correctly paired. Verify link status through the host device management interface and confirm operational parameters such as negotiated speed and optical signal levels.

Recommendations

Use this module in network segments where conserving fiber strands is important and ensure both ends use compatible BiDi modules with matching wavelength pairs. Follow the switch or router vendor's guidance for supported optics and firmware compatibility. For reliable operation, check connector cleanliness, maintain proper fiber bend radius, and monitor signal levels after installation.
