SFP Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G single‑fiber bidirectional module

The CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G single‑fiber bidirectional module is a compact SFP transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over a single optical fiber. The BlueOptics module provides a hot‑swappable interface suitable for network switches, routers and fiber devices where point‑to‑point connections are required. It uses bidirectional transmission on one fiber by separating transmit and receive channels onto different wavelengths, helping to reduce cabling and simplify deployment in space‑constrained or fiber‑limited environments.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver supports full 10G data rates and conforms to small form‑factor pluggable standards, enabling easy installation and replacement without powering down equipment. The single‑fiber bidirectional design reduces the number of fibers needed for point‑to‑point links, lowering cabling complexity and associated costs. Its compact form factor and compatibility with common network hardware make it suitable for dense installations and modular systems.

Suitable for

• Point‑to‑point 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over single fiber
• Data center uplinks and switch interconnects
• Fiber‑constrained campus links and metropolitan networks
• Network equipment with SFP ports requiring bidirectional transceivers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form‑factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Fiber type: single‑mode single fiber (bidirectional)
• Transmission method: bidirectional (different wavelengths for TX and RX)
• Interface: hot‑swappable duplex LC style connector on a single fiber link
• Typical use: point‑to‑point fiber links

How to use

Install the module into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or fiber device. Ensure the host port supports 10G SFP transceivers and bidirectional operation. Connect the single optical fiber using appropriate connectors and verify correct orientation for transmit and receive wavelengths. After insertion and cable connection, check link status via the equipment management interface and confirm the module is recognized and operating at the expected data rate.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the network device’s supported transceiver list and enable any required port settings for 10G and bidirectional operation. Use single‑mode fiber rated for 10G applications, clean connectors before mating, and observe manufacturer guidelines for ESD and handling to maintain reliable optical performance.
