SFP+ Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G 1310nm single-fiber bidirectional module

CBO SFP-10G-BX-D is an SFP+ 10 Gigabit single-fiber bidirectional transceiver operating at 1310 nm. Designed for high-speed uplink and metro applications, this compact hot-pluggable module enables 10G Ethernet links over a single optical fiber by using wavelength-division, reducing fiber cabling and simplifying deployments. The module is compatible with common switches, routers and fiber access equipment that support SFP+ ports and single-fiber bidirectional operation.

Advantages

The single-fiber bidirectional design halves fiber requirements compared with dual-fiber modules and reduces the complexity of fiber routing in constrained infrastructure. As an SFP+ form-factor transceiver, it supports hot-plug insertion and compact port density for network equipment. Operating at 1310 nm with 10 Gigabit line rate, it is suitable for metro and uplink distances where single-fiber WDM links are preferred. The module is built to meet typical networking reliability expectations and integrates with standard SFP+ interfaces.

Suitable for

• 10G uplink connections between switches and aggregation devices
• Metro fiber links and campus backbone segments using single-fiber WDM
• Fiber access equipment and service provider edge ports where fiber count must be minimized
• Environments requiring hot-pluggable, compact transceivers to increase port density

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Wavelength: 1310 nm transmit (single-fiber bidirectional operation)
• Single-fiber bidirectional (BiDi) operation using wavelength-division
• Connector type: LC single-fiber
• Typical application: metro/uplink 10G links over single fiber

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible switch, router or optical device while the host port is powered according to the equipment vendor instructions. Connect a single LC fiber between paired BiDi transceivers, ensuring each side uses complementary wavelengths or direction variants for proper bidirectional communication. Verify link status via the host device management interface and monitor optical levels if supported. For safe handling, avoid touching the fiber connector endfaces and use dust caps when transceivers are not connected.

Recommendations

Use matched bidirectional pairs for reliable links and follow vendor guidance on supported link distance, optical power budget and temperature ranges. When deploying in existing fiber plants, test end-to-end loss to confirm the module meets the required optical budget for the intended span.
