SFP+ Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G 1310nm Single-Mode Bidirectional

CBO SFP-10G-BX-D is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over single-mode fiber at a nominal 1310 nm wavelength. The module uses a bidirectional (BX) design that transmits and receives on a single fiber by using different wavelengths for each direction, enabling duplex communication over a single strand. Its compact SFP+ form factor makes it compatible with many switches, routers and optical line cards that accept hot-pluggable SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 10G data rate performance in a small, hot-pluggable SFP+ package and is engineered for single-mode, long-reach fiber connections where a single-fiber bidirectional link is preferred. BX operation reduces fiber cabling requirements by allowing transmit and receive channels on one fiber, which can lower installation complexity and cost in point-to-point links. The module is suitable for integration into existing optical equipment and supports straightforward replacement or upgrade of SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber where space or fiber count is limited
• Point-to-point bidirectional fiber connections between switches, routers or media converters
• Upgrading SFP+ ports on network equipment to support 10G single-fiber links
• Telecom and data center interconnects requiring compact, hot-swappable transceivers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Operating wavelength: nominal 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Link type: bidirectional (BX) over a single fiber
• Typical reach: designed for long-reach single-mode connections (consult system link budget for exact distance)

How to use

Install the SFP+ transceiver into an appropriate SFP+ slot on a switch, router or optical device while the host system is powered down or following hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment vendor. Connect a compatible single-mode fiber using suitable LC connectors and ensure the pair of transceivers at each end use complementary BX wavelengths (one module transmitting at the module's TX wavelength and receiving at its RX wavelength). Verify link status and configure the host interface for 10G operation if necessary. Use proper fiber handling to avoid contamination and mechanical damage.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your network equipment before installation and follow vendor guidance on supported transceiver models. Clean fiber connectors before mating, check optical power budgets for planned link distances, and use complementary bidirectional modules at each end of the link to ensure correct wavelength pairing and reliable 10G operation.
