SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G 1310nm single‑fiber bi-directional module

The CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G 1310nm single-fiber bi-directional module is a compact SFP+ transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-fiber infrastructure. It supports bi-directional communication on a single strand by using different wavelengths for transmit and receive, enabling cost-effective fiber deployments where duplex fibers are limited. The module's hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor allows straightforward installation or replacement in compatible network equipment such as switches, routers and transceivers in data center and carrier environments.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP+ transceiver provides 10 Gbps data rate on a single fiber by employing bi-directional optics at 1310 nm, reducing cabling complexity and fiber usage. Its small SFP+ form factor supports hot-swapping for minimal service interruption during maintenance or upgrades. The module is engineered for compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and typical enterprise and metro networking gear, offering stable optical transmission and simplified field replacement.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches or routers over single-fiber runs
• Data center interconnects where fiber resources are limited
• Metro and access networks requiring cost-efficient fiber usage
• Network equipment upgrades where hot-pluggable SFP+ modules are needed

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ hot-pluggable form factor
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm designed for bi-directional single-fiber operation
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (single-strand, bidirectional)
• Transmission mode: Bi-directional (different wavelengths for Tx/Rx on one fiber)
• Typical application: Short to metro distances over single-mode fiber

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on a switch, router or media converter while the device is powered according to vendor guidelines. Connect the single-mode fiber cable to the transceiver’s optical receptacle, ensuring correct orientation and clean fiber endfaces. Configure the network device port for 10 Gigabit Ethernet if required by the host equipment and verify link status through device indicators or management interfaces. For bidirectional links, pair this module with the matching complementary transceiver that uses the corresponding opposite wavelength.

Recommendations

Keep fiber connectors clean and use proper dust caps when the transceiver is not in use. Verify compatibility with the host device and, when possible, test the module in a lab or non-critical link before wide deployment. Follow manufacturer guidelines for ambient conditions and handling to maintain optical performance and module longevity.
