SFP+ Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G 1310nm Single‑Fiber BiDi

The CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G 1310nm Single‑Fiber BiDi transceiver from BlueOptics is a hot-pluggable SFP+ module that supports 10 Gbps data transmission over a single optical fiber using bidirectional (BiDi) technology at 1310 nm. It is designed for installation in standard SFP+ ports of switches, routers and media converters to provide high-speed uplink and long-reach connections where fiber strands are limited. The module follows the SFP+ form factor and electrical interface for seamless integration with 10G networking equipment that accepts SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

This single-fiber BiDi SFP+ transceiver enables duplex communication over a single strand of fiber, reducing fiber infrastructure requirements and simplifying deployment where fiber availability is constrained. The hot-pluggable design supports easy replacement or addition without powering down equipment. Operating at 1310 nm and supporting 10 Gbps makes it suitable for high-throughput links and uplinks between switches, routers and optical equipment. Standard SFP+ compatibility ensures broad interoperability with 10G network devices.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps uplinks between switches and routers in data centers and enterprise networks
• Link extension where only a single fiber strand is available
• Integration with media converters and optical equipment requiring SFP+ BiDi modules
• Network upgrades to 10G where minimizing fiber cabling is desired

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: Single-fiber bidirectional (BiDi)
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
• Interface: SFP+ electrical and mechanical compliance
• Typical applications: 10G uplinks, long-reach single-fiber links

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP+ port of a compatible switch, router or media converter until it seats firmly; no tools are required. Connect the appropriate single-fiber patch cable with BiDi-compatible connectors to the module and the remote device, observing correct transmitter/receiver orientation if applicable. After insertion, verify link status via the host device LEDs or management interface and configure port speed/settings according to network requirements. To remove, press the module's latch and pull straight out while the host device remains powered if the device supports hot-swap.

Recommendations

Use this SFP+ BiDi transceiver in environments where fiber count is limited or where consolidating duplex links to a single strand reduces cost or complexity. Confirm that the host device supports generic SFP+ modules or BlueOptics transceivers and that the remote module uses the complementary wavelength/polarity for BiDi operation. Handle the optical interfaces with dust caps installed until connection, and avoid exposing the transceiver to electrostatic discharge or extreme temperatures during installation.
