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

The CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G single-fiber bidirectional SFP+ fiber optic transceiver from BlueOptics is a compact module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber. Its SFP+ form factor supports hot‑swap installation in compatible switches, routers and access devices, enabling bidirectional data transmission on a single fiber strand. The module is intended for long‑distance connections typical in data center interconnects and carrier networks, providing a simple way to add 10 Gbps capacity where duplex fiber is not available or where fiber count must be minimized.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers a small, standardized form factor that simplifies installation and maintenance through hot‑swappable capability. The bidirectional single‑fiber design reduces cabling complexity and fiber usage while maintaining full 10 Gbps throughput. Built to industry optical interfaces, the module delivers reliable performance for long‑distance links and integrates with common network hardware supporting SFP+ ports. Its compact design helps save space in high‑density equipment racks.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Data center interconnects and server aggregation
• Carrier and metro network links where single‑fiber routing is required
• Access equipment and service provider installations with limited fiber infrastructure

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for 10G Ethernet
• Transmission: Bidirectional single‑fiber (BiDi) operation
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber compatible
• Data rate: 10 Gigabits per second
• Connector type: Duplex single‑fiber BiDi optics (single LC connector pair or specific BiDi LC configuration depending on host)
• Operating distance: Designed for long‑reach links typical in carrier and data center environments
• Hot‑swap support: Yes

How to use

Install the transceiver into any compatible SFP+ slot on a switch, router or access device while the equipment is powered on to take advantage of hot‑swap capability. Connect the appropriate single‑mode fiber cable and ensure the host device and the remote transceiver are configured for matching bidirectional wavelengths and 10G operation. Verify link status and diagnostics through the host device management interface; adjust optical power or receive sensitivity only if supported and required by the network design. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and protect the fiber connectors with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use this module in environments with compatible SFP+ ports and single‑mode fiber infrastructure. Confirm wavelength pairing and link settings with the remote endpoint before deployment, and use quality single‑mode fiber and LC‑compatible connectors to maintain signal integrity over long distances.
