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

The Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D Fiber Optic 10G single‑fiber bidirectional SFP+ is a compact module that enables 10 Gbps bidirectional data transmission over a single optical fiber. Designed for use in data center and carrier-grade networks, this SFP+ transceiver fits standard SFP+ ports and supports hot‑plug installation, allowing quick replacement or upgrades without system downtime. It uses wavelength-division techniques to carry transmit and receive signals on one fiber, reducing cabling complexity and enabling cost-effective upgrades of existing duplex fiber links.

Advantages

This single‑fiber bidirectional SFP+ module reduces the number of fibers required for 10G links, simplifying rack and cable management. Its compatibility with SFP+ ports and hot‑swap capability streamline installation and maintenance. The module is suitable for long-term deployment in dense network environments and helps conserve fiber infrastructure while maintaining 10 Gbps throughput and low-latency performance.

Suitable for

• Extending 10G links between switches and routers over existing single-fiber runs
• Data center uplinks and interconnects where fiber count should be minimized
• Carrier and metro networks requiring bidirectional transmission on a single strand
• Upgrading legacy duplex fiber installations to 10G without laying additional fibers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ compatible module for 10 Gbps links
• Transmission type: Bidirectional single-fiber (bi‑di) using wavelength division
• Data rate: 10 Gigabits per second
• Optical interface: Single-fiber LC connector (single strand)
• Installation: Hot‑plug support for live swapping in SFP+ ports
• Typical use: Data center and carrier-grade network links

How to use

Insert the CBO SFP-10G-BX-D module into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router, or optical transceiver cage while the device is powered on; the hot‑plug feature permits installation without powering down the host. Connect a single-mode fiber with LC connectors between paired bidirectional modules, ensuring that transmit and receive fiber ends are correctly mated according to the planned wavelength pair. Verify link status and interface configuration on the network device, and adjust optical power and interface parameters if required by the host equipment.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the host device’s SFP+ port and firmware before deployment. Use appropriate single-mode fiber and quality LC connectors, and check optical power budgets for the intended link distance. For stable operation, ensure proper optical cleaning and secure mounting; monitor link status during the first hours after installation to confirm error-free operation.
