SFP+ 10G Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U, single-channel bidirectional

The BlueOptics SFP+ 10G Fiber Optic Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U is a single-channel bidirectional optical module for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Housed in a compact SFP+ form factor, this transceiver enables high-speed point-to-point fiber connections while minimizing fiber cabling by transmitting transmit and receive signals on a single fiber strand. The module is suitable for installation in switches, routers and other networking equipment with SFP+ ports that support 10G single-channel bidirectional operation.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 10 Gbps data throughput in an industry-standard SFP+ housing, allowing dense deployment and easy hot-swap replacement. Bidirectional single-fiber operation reduces the amount of fiber required for point-to-point links and simplifies cabling and fiber management. The small form factor and standard electrical/optical interfaces make the module compatible with common 10 Gigabit network devices, supporting straightforward network upgrades to higher bandwidths without major infrastructure changes.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit point-to-point links between switches and routers
• Fiber connections in data center top-of-rack and aggregation layers
• Network equipment that supports SFP+ single-channel bidirectional modules
• Upgrading legacy duplex fiber links to single-fiber operation where infrastructure is limited

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ standard)
• Form factor: SFP+ compact module
• Transmission: single-channel bidirectional (BiDi) over one fiber
• Optical interface: fiber optic LC-style connector (single-fiber BiDi coupling)
• Application: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible optical links
• Temperature range: designed for typical commercial networking environments

How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP+ port of a compatible switch, router or optical device until it clicks into place. Connect a compatible single-fiber patch cable with appropriate BiDi LC connectors to the module’s optical port, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive channels. Confirm that the host device recognizes the module and negotiates a 10G link; monitor link LEDs or network management interfaces to verify an operational connection. For redundant or mirrored links, install matching BiDi transceivers on both link ends with complementary wavelength assignments if required.

Recommendations

Use factory-tested single-fiber patch cables and maintain cleanliness of connector end faces to ensure low optical loss and reliable 10G performance. Verify device compatibility with SFP+ BiDi modules in firmware or vendor documentation before deployment, and follow standard ESD handling procedures during installation and removal.
