Cisco SFP-10G-BX100U Compatible SFP+ 10GBASE-BX100-U BiDi 1490nm-TX/1550nm-RX 100km DOM Simplex LC/UPC SMF Optical Transceiver Module

The Cisco SFP-10G-BX100U is a 10GBASE-BX100-U SFP+ transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) communication. It operates on the BiDi (Bidirectional) principle, meaning it uses a single fiber strand for both transmitting and receiving data. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

Key Specifications:

• Form Factor: SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data Rate: 10 Gbps
• Wavelengths:
  • TX (Transmit): 1490 nm
  • RX (Receive): 1550 nm
• Distance: Up to 100 km (depending on fiber quality and conditions)
• Fiber Type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector Type: Simplex LC/UPC
• DOM Support: Yes (Digital Optical Monitoring for real-time diagnostics)
• Compatibility: Designed for Cisco devices but also available as third-party compatible modules.

Applications:

• Long-haul networks: Ideal for high-speed data transmission over long distances.
• Metro networks: Suitable for metropolitan area networks requiring 10G connectivity.
• Fiber-to-the-x (FTTx): Used in fiber optic communication systems.

BiDi Technology:

• BiDi transceivers use wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) to transmit and receive signals over a single fiber strand. This reduces the need for additional fiber infrastructure, making it cost-effective.

Compatibility:

• While the Cisco SFP-10G-BX100U is designed for Cisco devices, third-party compatible modules are available. Ensure compatibility with your specific switch or router before purchasing.

DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring):

• DOM allows real-time monitoring of parameters like temperature, voltage, and optical power, enabling proactive network management.

Notes:

• Always verify compatibility with your networking equipment.
• Use high-quality single-mode fiber for optimal performance.
• Ensure proper power budget calculations for distances up to 100 km.

If you’re looking for a compatible third-party module, ensure it meets the same specifications and is tested for reliability. Let me know if you need further assistance!
