Description

StarTech SFP-10GB-BX-D-20-ST MSA UNCODED TRANSCEIVER - 10GBASE-BX WDM SFP+ (10 GBPS) - 10 GIGABIT BIDI MODULE

Overview

The StarTech SFP-10GB-BX-D-20-ST is an MSA-compliant SFP+ transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over single-mode fiber. This module utilizes a Bi-Directional (BiDi) WDM design, transmitting and receiving data over a single fiber strand by using different wavelengths on the transmit and receive paths. This is critical for extending network reach in environments where fiber drops are limited, such as connecting remote network closets, surveillance camera locations, or data center racks over longer distances. The SFP-10GB-BX-D-20-ST specifically uses 1330nm for transmission and 1270nm for reception, enabling full-duplex communication.

Compatibility

This transceiver is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, meaning it is designed to be compatible with a wide range of network equipment from various manufacturers that adhere to the SFP+ MSA standard. This includes switches, routers, and network interface cards from brands like Cisco, Ubiquiti, Mikrotik, and many others. It is suitable for 10GBASE-BX applications and supports IEEE 802.3ae standards. It is not vendor-locked and can be used in any MSA-compliant SFP+ slot.

Installation Notes

The module requires a single-mode fiber optic cable terminated with an LC connector. It operates in full-duplex mode and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10Gbps. The operating temperature range should be considered for deployment environments. The transceiver itself is compact, measuring 0.5 inches in height and depth, and 2.3 inches in width.
