Add-On SFP-10G-ER-BXD-AO 10GBASE-BX SFP+ Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On SFP-10G-ER-BXD-AO is a TAA-compliant SFP+ transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It enables bidirectional communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber, extending network reach up to 40 kilometers. This transceiver is critical for long-haul fiber optic links in enterprise and service provider environments where direct fiber runs are necessary and TAA compliance is mandated.

Compatibility

This transceiver is engineered to be compatible with Cisco networking equipment supporting the SFP-10G-ER-BX standard. It functions with Cisco switches, routers, and network interface cards that utilize SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) modules for 10Gbps connectivity. Verify compatibility with your specific Cisco model if it is not explicitly listed, but it adheres to the SFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ae standards.

Installation Notes

Install the SFP-10G-ER-BXD-AO module into an available SFP+ port on your network device. Ensure the fiber optic connector (LC duplex) is clean before insertion. This module operates on a single fiber strand, with one wavelength transmitting and another receiving. It requires a paired transceiver at the other end of the fiber link, operating on complementary wavelengths. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
