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

The CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G 1310nm single-fiber bidirectional module is an SFP+ transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links that require duplex communication over a single optical fiber. Operating at a 1310 nm wavelength, this compact SFP+ form-factor module implements bidirectional data transmission using wavelength-division, allowing separate transmit and receive channels on one fiber. The module supports hot-plug installation and is intended for environments where fiber port density and cost-efficiency are priorities, such as data center uplinks, metro connections and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver reduces fiber cabling by enabling bidirectional operation on a single strand, which lowers installation complexity and material costs. Its SFP+ form factor provides broad compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and switches, while hot-plug capability allows for maintenance or upgrades without powering down equipment. The 1310 nm wavelength and single-fiber design make the module suitable for medium to long reach links in metropolitan and campus networks where conserving fiber infrastructure is important.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Data center aggregation and rack-to-rack connections
• Metro and campus fiber links with limited fiber availability
• Enterprise network segments requiring higher port density

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (10G)
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm (single-fiber bidirectional)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (single-strand bidirectional)
• Connector type: LC (typically single-fiber duplex via WDM)
• Installation: hot-pluggable

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port until it clicks into place, ensuring the host device supports 10G SFP+ modules. Connect the single-mode fiber using the appropriate LC connector and confirm correct orientation for transmit and receive wavelengths. After installation, verify link status on the network device and configure interface settings (speed, duplex and any platform-specific parameters) as required. For replacement or relocation, unplug the module using the release mechanism and insert the new transceiver while the system remains powered if hot-plug support is available.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode fiber and clean connectors to maintain signal integrity. Confirm compatibility with your switch or router vendor for SFP+ optical modules and ensure firmware or driver support if vendor locking is present. For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending of the fiber and protect exposed connectors from dust when not in use.
