Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D Fiber Optic 10G single‑fiber bidirectional SFP+

CBO SFP-10G-BX-D is a fiber optic SFP+ transceiver module that supports 10 Gbit/s data transmission over a single-fiber bidirectional (BiDi) link. The module uses a compact SFP+ form factor to provide high-speed connectivity for compatible switches and routers, enabling efficient use of existing fiber infrastructure by sending and receiving on different wavelengths through a single fiber. It is suitable for long-reach or paired-link installations where space and fiber-count reduction are priorities.

Advantages

This SFP+ transceiver provides 10G performance in a standardized SFP+ housing, allowing straightforward hot-pluggable installation in compatible network equipment. The single-fiber bidirectional design reduces fiber cabling requirements and simplifies deployment in environments with limited fiber availability. Its compact size and industry-standard interface ensure wide compatibility with network switches, routers, and optical line equipment that accept SFP+ modules.

Suitable for

• 10G uplinks between switches in enterprise campuses and data centers
• Data center interconnects where fiber count needs to be minimized
• Telecom and metro links requiring single-fiber bidirectional transmission
• Upgrading existing fiber runs to 10G without laying additional fibers

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Form factor: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Transmission: Single-fiber bidirectional (BiDi)
• Optical interface: Duplex LC-compatible single-fiber connector use
• Typical reach: designed for long-reach fiber links (distance depends on fiber type and link budget)
• Power consumption: low-power SFP+ class module

How to use

Insert the SFP-10G-BX-D module into an SFP+ port of a compatible switch or router with the module latch oriented per the equipment instructions. Connect the single-fiber patch cable using the appropriate LC connector and ensure the connected port on the remote device uses the complementary BiDi wavelength orientation (transmit/receive wavelengths must be paired correctly). Check link status via the host device management interface and monitor signal and error counters to verify correct operation. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and keep protective caps on the optical connectors when not in use.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber for long-reach links and verify the link budget for your distance and network loss. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment firmware and vendor-supported transceiver lists to ensure full functionality. For best performance, keep connectors clean, perform regular optical inspections, and replace damaged cables or connectors.
