Add-On SFP-10GB-BXD32-40-N-V-AO 10GBASE-BX SFP+ Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On SFP-10GB-BXD32-40-N-V-AO is a 10GBASE-BX SFP+ transceiver designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) deployments requiring extended reach. This unit operates on a single strand of fiber, utilizing different wavelengths for transmit and receive (1330nm TX / 1270nm RX), which doubles fiber capacity compared to traditional dual-fiber transceivers. It is engineered to provide reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over distances up to 40 kilometers, making it suitable for connecting geographically dispersed network segments in enterprise or carrier environments.

Compatibility

This SFP+ transceiver is compatible with network equipment from Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia, supporting their respective SFP+ ports. It adheres to the SFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) and is designed to interoperate with standard 10GBASE-BX Ethernet interfaces. Verify compatibility with your specific switch, router, or network interface card model to ensure seamless integration.

Installation Notes

Install the SFP+ module into an available SFP+ slot on your network device. Ensure the fiber optic connector (LC duplex) is clean before insertion. The module is hot-swappable, allowing installation or removal without powering down the host equipment. For optimal performance and to maintain signal integrity over the 40km range, use high-quality single-mode fiber optic cabling (OS2 recommended) and ensure proper termination and connector cleanliness.
