Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G SFP+ single-fiber bidirectional (model SFP-10G-BX-U-LS-BO)

The Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G SFP+ single-fiber bidirectional (model SFP-10G-BX-U-LS-BO) is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ optical module designed for single-fiber bidirectional links. It is compatible with SFP+ ports and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a single fiber by using wavelength-division to transmit and receive on different wavelengths. The module is intended for use in network switches, servers and uplink ports where single-fiber cabling or extended reach is required, offering a compact form factor that preserves port density.

Advantages

This transceiver enables 10 Gbps connectivity while reducing fiber count through bidirectional single-fiber operation, simplifying cabling and lowering installation complexity in fiber-constrained installations. The SFP+ form factor conserves space in high-density equipment and is hot-pluggable for flexible deployment. Its design supports reliable, high-speed links suitable for backbone, aggregation and server uplink applications where consistent throughput and signal integrity are needed.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server uplinks and network interface expansion in data centers
• Long-reach single-fiber links where minimizing fiber count is important
• Replacing or extending existing fiber infrastructure using bi-directional optics

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ (10G) form factor for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Transmission mode: Single-fiber bidirectional (BiDi) using separate transmit and receive wavelengths
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: Single-mode fiber (designed for single-fiber operation)
• Typical applications: Switch uplinks, server connections, long-reach links
• Mounting: Hot-pluggable SFP+ module

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ port on network equipment until it seats securely; the module is hot-pluggable so equipment need not be powered down for insertion or removal. Connect the single-mode fiber patch cable using the appropriate BiDi fiber pair and ensure the correct orientation for transmit and receive directions according to network labeling. Configure the network device for 10 Gigabit Ethernet on the corresponding port and verify link status and speed in the device management interface. Follow vendor guidance for diagnostic checks and compatibility settings if required.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with proper BiDi patching, confirm transmit/receive wavelength alignment between paired modules, and verify compatibility with your switch or server vendor. Keep connectors clean and use dust caps when modules are not in use to maintain signal quality and avoid contamination-related link issues.
