Cisco SFP-10G-BXD-I 10G SFP+ Bidirectional for 10km, downstream

Cisco SFP-10G-BXD-I 10G SFP+ Bidirectional Transceiver

The Cisco SFP-10G-BXD-I is a high-performance, bidirectional small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) module designed for 10 gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber up to 10 kilometers. It delivers reliable data transfer in both directions without the need for separate transmit and receive modules, simplifying cabling and reducing cost.

Key Features

• Bidirectional operation - single module handles both upstream and downstream traffic
• 10 km range on multimode fiber - ideal for campus, data center, and metro networks
• Compact SFP+ form factor - fits standard 1/2 inch slots in switches and routers
• Low power consumption - efficient operation reduces heat and energy costs
• Robust build quality - durable housing protects against vibration and temperature extremes
• Plug-and-play compatibility - supports Cisco IOS, NX-OS, and other industry-standard platforms
