Description
10Gbps BiDi SFP+ Optical Transceiver – 1330nm/1270nm, LC Connector, 20km with DDM
The 10 GBPS bidi SM SF 1330nm 1270nm 20 KM LC DDM optical transceiver module is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for long-distance data transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF). Using bidirectional (BiDi) transmission technology, this transceiver enables full-duplex communication over a single fiber by using 1330nm for transmitting and 1270nm for receiving signals. It is specially designed for 10GBASE-BX Ethernet applications and is ideal for deployments in enterprise backbones, data centers, metropolitan networks, and telecom access systems.
Compact in size and compatible with standard SFP+ interfaces, this module supports hot-pluggability, advanced digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM), and seamless integration with major networking brands. It conforms to the SFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) and IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-BX20 specifications.
Key Features
1. 10Gbps High-Speed BiDi Transmission
This transceiver module delivers reliable 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) full-duplex data transmission over a single optical fiber. With a BiDi design, it significantly reduces fiber usage while maintaining performance—making it ideal for:
-
High-density networks
-
Enterprise interconnects
-
Metro Ethernet applications
-
FTTx and broadband infrastructure
The 10GBASE-BX20 standard ensures consistent, high-bandwidth connectivity for demanding network environments.
2. BiDi Wavelength Pairing – 1330nm TX / 1270nm RX
This BiDi module transmits at 1330nm and receives at 1270nm, and is used in pairs with a complementary module (1270nm TX / 1330nm RX). This wavelength division multiplexing approach allows for two-way communication on a single strand of fiber, cutting cable requirements in half and reducing installation complexity and costs.
3. Transmission Distance of 20km
The module supports a reach of up to 20 kilometers over standard single-mode fiber (SMF), offering flexibility for medium- to long-range networking needs such as:
-
Campus backbone links
-
Data center interconnections
-
Enterprise-to-branch connections
-
Telecom access networks
Its long-distance capability makes it suitable for modern network demands without the need for signal repeaters.
4. SFP+ Form Factor with Simplex LC Connector
This transceiver uses a compact, hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor, which allows it to be installed or swapped without shutting down the system. The simplex LC interface simplifies installation and provides reliable physical connectivity in high-density environments.
It fits seamlessly into any SFP+ port found in Ethernet switches, routers, media converters, or OLT devices.
5. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
With built-in DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality compliant with SFF-8472, users can monitor the following in real time:
-
Optical output and input power
-
Laser bias current
-
Module temperature
-
Power supply voltage
This real-time visibility helps detect issues early, optimize performance, and reduce downtime.
6. Energy Efficient & Hot Swappable
The 10Gbps BiDi SFP+ module operates with low power consumption, ensuring minimal heat output and efficient use in high-density environments. Its hot-swappable nature allows for convenient maintenance or upgrades without service interruption, contributing to smoother network operations.
7. Broad Compatibility and Compliance
