10G BiDi netwerk-transceivermodule DrayTek DAM-FX10-20K-A SFP+ 10000 Mbit/s

The DrayTek DAM-FX10-20K-A SFP+ 10G BiDi network transceiver module provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for high-speed fiber links. Designed for 10,000 Mbit/s full-duplex operation, this module supports BiDi (bidirectional) single-fiber transmission to simplify cabling and extend network reach. It operates at a 3.3 V supply with typical power consumption around 1 W and is compatible with DrayTek VigorSwitch devices that accept SFP+ interfaces.

Advantages

This SFP+ BiDi transceiver reduces fiber infrastructure complexity by using a single fiber for transmit and receive channels, which can lower installation costs and conserve fiber resources. Its compact SFP+ form factor supports hot-swapping for flexible network maintenance and upgrades. Low power consumption and standardized electrical characteristics support stable, energy-efficient operation in rack or compact switching environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed uplinks between switches and aggregation points
• Data center and server interconnects requiring 10G bandwidth
• Long-reach point-to-point fiber links where single-fiber BiDi cabling is preferred
• Network upgrades in office or campus environments using DrayTek SFP+ slots

Key specifications

• Maximum data rate: 10,000 Mbit/s (10G)
• Interface: SFP+ form factor, hot-pluggable
• Transmission mode: BiDi (bidirectional over single fiber)
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Typical power consumption: approximately 1 W
• Optical medium: single-mode fiber (BiDi transceiver)
• Connector type: LC duplex or single-fiber BiDi LC (device-specific)

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ slot on a compatible network switch or device while the device is powered on or off, following the manufacturer's hot-swap guidelines. Connect the appropriate single-mode fiber cable with matching BiDi wavelengths and LC connectors between paired transceivers. Configure the switch port for 10G operation if necessary and verify link status and diagnostics through the device management interface to ensure proper negotiation and performance.

Recommendations

Ensure paired BiDi transceivers use complementary wavelength assignments and that fiber connectors are clean and undamaged. Use recommended single-mode patch cables and monitor port temperature and power draw in high-density deployments. Confirm compatibility with the specific DrayTek VigorSwitch model and keep firmware updated for best interoperability.
