SFP+ glasvezel-transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G single-fiber bi-directional

The CBO SFP-10G-BX-U 10G single-fiber bi-directional SFP+ fiber optic transceiver by BlueOptics is a compact module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-fiber infrastructure. It provides a bi-directional (BiDi) optical interface that transmits and receives on different wavelengths through one fiber, enabling high-density fiber deployments and simplified cabling between switches, routers and servers. The SFP+ form factor supports hot-pluggable installation and compatibility with SFP+ ports in data center and enterprise network equipment.

Advantages

This transceiver supports 10G data rates with a bi-directional single-fiber design that reduces fiber count and simplifies cable management. Its compact SFP+ form factor allows easy hot-swap replacement without powering down connected equipment. The module is suitable for high-density link deployments and helps conserve fiber infrastructure while delivering low-latency, high-throughput connectivity for backbone and aggregation links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches and routers over single-fiber runs
• Data center uplinks and server connections where fiber density is a concern
• Carrier or metro networks requiring bi-directional fiber links
• Enterprise backbone and aggregation links that need 10G connectivity

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ hot-pluggable form factor
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Optical mode: Single-fiber bi-directional (BiDi)
• Wavelengths: Transmit and receive on complementary wavelengths (BiDi operation)
• Cabling: Single-mode fiber (single-fiber link)
• Application: 10G Ethernet links for switches, routers and servers

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a compatible SFP+ port on the switch, router or server until it clicks into place, then secure and power the host device. Connect the single-mode fiber patch cable with the appropriate duplexing or BiDi-aware connectors to the transceiver, ensuring the correct orientation for transmit and receive wavelengths. Verify link status and configuration in the host device's management interface and adjust link settings if necessary to match the 10G speed and duplex parameters.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use single-mode fiber rated for 10G distances appropriate to your deployment and ensure transceiver wavelength pair compatibility on both ends of the link. Avoid bending the fiber beyond its specified radius and follow ESD handling procedures when installing or removing the module. Confirm compatibility with the host equipment vendor's supported transceiver list if required.
