Optical Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G SFP+ Single-Mode BiDi

The Optical Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G SFP+ Single-Mode BiDi is a compact 10 Gigabit SFP+ module designed for single‑mode bidirectional fiber links. It enables high-speed uplinks and long-distance connections by transmitting and receiving on different wavelengths over a single fiber, while maintaining the small form factor of SFP+ ports. The module is compatible with networking equipment that accepts SFP+ optical transceivers and is intended for environments where port density and fiber count optimization are important.

Advantages

This SFP+ BiDi transceiver supports 10 Gigabit data rates in a compact module that saves fiber infrastructure by using one fiber for both directions. Its single‑mode design is suitable for longer reach links compared with multimode alternatives. The small SFP+ form factor permits high port density on switches and routers and simplifies upgrades from lower speed interfaces to 10G without changing existing fiber cabling.

Suitable for

• 10G uplinks between switches in data center and aggregation networks
• Long‑distance single‑fiber links between buildings or telecom points
• Media converters and routers requiring SFP+ BiDi modules
• Environments where fiber count reduction and port density matter

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ (10G)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber (SMF)
• Operation: bidirectional (BiDi), single fiber Tx/Rx on separate wavelengths
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Typical reach: suitable for long‑distance single‑mode links (verify link budget for exact distance)
• Connector: LC duplex (single‑fiber BiDi uses LC connectors for each end)
• Power consumption: low power SFP+ module (refer to device datasheet for exact values)

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or media converter. Connect single‑mode fiber using LC connectors and ensure the correct orientation of transmit and receive fibers according to link design. Confirm that connected devices support 10G SFP+ BiDi operation and that link parameters (wavelength pairing and fiber attenuation) match. After insertion, verify link status via the host device management interface and monitor for expected data rates and signal quality.

Recommendations

Before deployment, check compatibility with the network equipment vendor’s supported transceiver list and validate end‑to‑end link budget including connector and splice losses. Use clean LC connectors and adhere to ESD precautions when handling the module. For critical or extended links, test the fiber path with an optical power meter or OTDR to ensure sufficient margin.
