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

The CBO SFP-10G-BX-D is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver engineered for 10 Gbps single-fiber bidirectional links. Designed in the SFP+ form factor, it fits into compatible switches, routers and servers to provide high-speed connectivity over a single strand of single-mode fiber by using separate transmit and receive wavelengths. The module supports long-reach connections and helps reduce cabling complexity and fiber usage in data center and metro environments.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver offers 10 Gbps data rate performance in a compact SFP+ package, enabling high-density installations. Using bidirectional single-fiber operation simplifies fiber routing and lowers infrastructure costs by transmitting and receiving on different wavelengths over the same fiber. The module is suitable for long-reach links, provides stable optical performance for carrier and enterprise networks, and is compatible with standard SFP+ ports on network equipment that accept SFP+ modules.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps uplinks between switches in data centers
• Fiber connections between routers and aggregation devices
• Single-fiber metro links where fiber pairs are limited
• Server-to-switch connections requiring SFP+ modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Transmission mode: bidirectional on a single fiber (BX Duplex) using separate TX/RX wavelengths
• Connector type: LC duplex (single-fiber operation uses LC connector)
• Typical reach: long-reach links (dependent on fiber type and link budget)
• Operating temperature range: industrial/ambient dependent on device implementation

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-BX-D transceiver into an SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or server until it latches. Connect a single-mode LC fiber cable, ensuring correct orientation of TX and RX fibers according to the equipment's labeling and link diagrams. Verify link status and speed through the host device interface. Configure the network device as required for 10 Gbps operation and monitor optical parameters via the host system's diagnostics if available.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with the target equipment's SFP+ ports and, if necessary, enable vendor-neutral module support in the network device. Use quality single-mode fiber and follow proper fiber handling and connector cleaning procedures to maintain link reliability. For precise reach and power margin planning, consult the link budget and optical specifications of both the transceiver and the connected equipment.
