SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G 1310nm single-mode bidirectional

The SFP+ transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G 1310nm single-mode bidirectional is a compact hot-pluggable module that delivers 10 Gbps connectivity over single-mode fiber using a 1310 nm wavelength. Engineered for bidirectional (BiDi) fiber links, this SFP+ module enables two-way transmission over a single fiber strand, reducing fiber infrastructure needs while fitting into standard SFP+ ports on switches and routers. Typical deployments include data center uplinks, metro links and enterprise aggregation where high-density, high-speed fiber connections are required.

Advantages

The module supports 10 Gbps data rate in a hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor, allowing easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment. Bidirectional operation over single-mode fiber saves fiber cabling by carrying both transmit and receive channels on a single fiber. The use of 1310 nm wavelength ensures compatibility with long-reach single-mode fibers and established network optics practices. The compact design supports high port density in switches and routers and is suitable for mixed-vendor environments when standards-compliant interfaces are required.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and server-to-switch connections
• Metro and access network links requiring fiber conservation
• Enterprise aggregation and campus backbone connections
• High-density switch and router deployments with SFP+ slots

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Optical mode: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• BiDi capability: Bidirectional on a single fiber
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
• Typical applications: Uplinks, metro, enterprise networks

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on the switch or router until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode fiber cable with the appropriate BiDi patching (matching transmit and receive wavelengths on opposite ends) using LC connectors. Verify link status via the device management interface and monitor optical levels to ensure the link meets expected performance. If necessary, replace the module while the host device remains powered down according to the platform's supported hot-swap procedures or follow vendor guidance for hot-pluggable modules.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with LC connectors and ensure the remote module uses the complementary BiDi wavelength pair. Confirm compatibility with the host device firmware and monitor optical power and signal integrity during installation to maintain stable 10 Gbps operation.
