10Gbps BiDi SFP+ Optical Transceiver – 1270nm/1330nm, LC Connector, 20km with DDM
The 10 GBPS bidi SM SF 1270nm 1330nm 20 KM LC DDM optical transceiver is a high-speed, compact, and energy-efficient solution for long-distance single-fiber transmission in modern networks. Designed for 10GBASE-BX applications, this module enables full-duplex communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber (SMF) using 1270nm for transmitting and 1330nm for receiving. It offers up to 20 kilometers of transmission distance, making it ideal for data centers, metropolitan networks, enterprise backbones, and FTTx deployments.
Compliant with the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-BX20 standards, this transceiver integrates Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) and supports hot-swappability for seamless network maintenance. Its LC simplex connector and energy-efficient operation make it suitable for high-density network environments.
Key Features
1. High-Speed 10Gbps Bidirectional Data Transmission
This transceiver delivers 10 Gbps bidirectional data transmission over a single optical fiber, dramatically reducing cabling costs and physical infrastructure requirements. The BiDi (bidirectional) design uses wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), enabling simultaneous data transmission and reception over a single strand of fiber.
With support for 10GBASE-BX20, the transceiver ensures high-performance data delivery for bandwidth-intensive applications in enterprise and telecom networks.
2. 1270nm TX / 1330nm RX Wavelength Configuration
This BiDi module transmits at 1270nm and receives at 1330nm. It is paired with a complementary module (1330nm TX / 1270nm RX) on the remote end. The use of two wavelengths on one fiber simplifies network topology, conserves fiber resources, and lowers deployment costs without compromising performance.
3. Long-Distance Transmission up to 20km
Capable of transmitting data over distances of up to 20 kilometers on single-mode fiber, this module is ideal for:
Inter-building communication on campuses
Metro Ethernet backhaul
ISP access networks
Telecom central office deployments
The 20km range enables robust mid-distance connectivity for high-speed communications.
4. Standard SFP+ Form Factor with LC Simplex Connector
The transceiver adopts a hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor with an LC simplex connector, ensuring ease of installation and compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches, routers, and media converters. The compact size makes it perfect for high-density applications where space and airflow are critical considerations.
5. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
Equipped with Digital Diagnostic Monitoring compliant with SFF-8472, this module allows real-time monitoring of:
Optical output and input power
Temperature
Laser bias current
Supply voltage
These diagnostics enhance operational transparency, support preventive maintenance, and reduce network downtime.
6. Hot-Swappable and Energy Efficient
The transceiver supports hot-swapping, allowing you to replace or upgrade modules without rebooting devices or interrupting network traffic. It operates with low power consumption, making it ideal for energy-conscious network environments and reducing overall heat generation.
7. Broad Compatibility and Compliance
Compliant with IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-BX20
Fully aligned with SFP+ MSA
RoHS-compliant and meets Class 1 laser safety requirements
Compatible with major networking brands such as Cisco, Huawei, HP, Mikrotik, Juniper, and others
Its wide compatibility makes it easy to integrate into existing infrastructures, offering a plug-and-play experience for both new and upgraded networks.
