Cisco SFP-10G-BXD-I: 10G SFP+ Bidirectional Transceiver for 10km

The Cisco SFP-10G-BXD-I is a high-performance SFP+ transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. This bidirectional (BiDi) module allows for 10Gbps data transmission and reception over a single strand of single-mode fiber, making it ideal for network upgrades and expansions in data centers, enterprise environments, and service provider networks. It is designed for use in Cisco switches and hubs.

Best Features:

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet: Supports 10Gbps data transfer rates for high-bandwidth applications.
• Bidirectional (BiDi) Operation: Transmits and receives data over a single fiber strand, reducing cabling costs and simplifying network management.
• 10km Reach: Enables connections up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF).
• SFP+ Form Factor: Pluggable module for easy installation and upgrades in SFP+ ports.
• LC Connector: Utilizes a standard LC connector for reliable fiber connections.
• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM): Provides real-time monitoring of transceiver performance, including optical power, temperature, and voltage.
