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

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-D is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-fiber bidirectional links at 10 Gbps. It fits standard SFP+ ports and provides a compact, hot‑swappable solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and long‑reach optical data transmission. The module implements bidirectional operation on a single fiber using different wavelengths for transmit and receive, allowing simple fiber infrastructure and reduced cabling compared with dual‑fiber solutions.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers 10 Gbps data rates in a small form factor compatible with SFP+ ports, supporting hot‑swap install and removal without powering down equipment. Single‑fiber bidirectional operation reduces fiber usage and simplifies link deployment in networks where fiber availability is limited. The module is suitable for use in switches, routers and media converters and supports standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet signaling for interoperability with common network equipment.

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (10 Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (single-fiber bidirectional operation)
• Transmission method: bidirectional (single fiber with wavelength division)
• Connector type: LC-compatible interface
• Hot-swappable: yes
• Typical reach: suitable for long-reach optical links (depends on fiber and link budget)

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-BX-D transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with LC connectors, observing the correct polarity and matching the transmit/receive wavelengths at both ends of the link. After insertion the module will be recognized by the host device and negotiate the 10 Gigabit link. For removal, power down the interface if recommended by the equipment manufacturer, disengage the latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and confirm link budget and wavelength compatibility with the remote transceiver. Verify device compatibility and support for SFP+ 10G modules in the host equipment documentation. Maintain dust caps on the transceiver when not connected and avoid touching optical interfaces to preserve performance and reliability.
