SFP+ optical transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX10-U 10G BiDi 1330nm/1270nm

The CBO SFP-10G-BX10-U is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ bidirectional (BiDi) optical transceiver designed for single-fiber links. It operates with paired wavelengths of 1330 nm and 1270 nm to enable full-duplex 10G connections over a single strand of single-mode fiber. The module uses the compact SFP+ form factor and is intended for installation in switches, routers and servers where space and fiber availability are limited. It is designed for short- to mid-range fiber runs and supports standard 10GBASE-BX operation for interoperable point-to-point links.

Advantages

This SFP+ BiDi transceiver reduces fiber requirements by carrying transmit and receive signals on different wavelengths over a single fiber, which saves on cabling and simplifies deployment in environments with limited fiber. The compact SFP+ module provides hot-pluggable convenience and is compatible with standard 10G SFP+ ports, enabling easy upgrades of existing network equipment. The fixed wavelengths and 10G data-rate support predictable performance for point-to-point links in data centers, enterprise networks and service-provider access networks.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber single-strand 10G point-to-point links
• Switch-to-switch, switch-to-router and switch-to-server connections
• Environments with limited fiber infrastructure or where duplex fiber is not available
• Data center uplinks and aggregation links over short to mid distances

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor, hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (10G)
• Transmission mode: BiDi (bidirectional) over single-mode fiber
• Transmit wavelength: 1330 nm
• Receive wavelength: 1270 nm
• Optical fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Typical reach: short to mid-range single-mode links (manufacturer guidance applies)

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible 10G SFP+ port on your switch, router or server while the host device is powered according to the vendor’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect a single strand of single-mode fiber using appropriate fiber connectors and ensure the correct polarity for BiDi operation: the fiber carrying 1330 nm from one end must be connected to the port expecting 1330 nm at the opposite end. Verify link status and monitor the module via the host device’s interface for signal and diagnostic information. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and cap the transceiver when not in use.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode fiber and matching connector types, verify compatibility with your network equipment vendor for SFP+ modules, and perform end-to-end testing after installation. For reliable performance over the intended reach, refer to your network design and budget for attenuation, connector loss and any required optical budget planning.
