Axiom

Axiom 3HE12111AA-AX 10GBASE-BX-U SFP+ transceiver

SKU CH-ZCJS-QTB1E MPN 3HE12111AA-AX

Single-mode SFP+ transceiver delivering 10 Gbps over one fibre strand for Alcatel gear

  • 10 GBps wired throughput for Alcatel links
  • Single-fibre SFP+ design saves patch-panel space
  • SMF cabling supports long-distance runs
  • Hot-pluggable transceiver simplifies network upgrades
  • 12111 model code matches Alcatel 3HE12111AA-AX spec

Purpose-built single-fibre 10 Gbps uplink

The Axiom 3HE12111AA-AX is a 10GBASE-BX-U SFP+ transceiver designed for single-mode fibre links. It operates at a 10 GBps data rate using bidirectional wavelengths over one strand. The module targets network engineers extending Alcatel infrastructure where duplex fibre is unavailable or costly. Its hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor allows installation without switch downtime.

Ideal for Alcatel single-strand upgrades.

This transceiver suits teams standardising on Alcatel-compatible 10G optics for point-to-point or ring topologies. Buyers needing multi-vendor interoperability, dual-fibre 10GBASE-LR or ER reach, or dense wavelength-division multiplexing should evaluate alternative part numbers. The BX-U wavelength pairing is fixed, so it cannot pair with generic BX-D modules from other vendors.

Steady 10 Gbps throughput on SMF within rated

Under continuous load the transceiver maintains line-rate 10 GBps across the supported single-mode fibre distance. The SFP+ cage draws power within the MSA limit, so thermal output stays predictable in populated chassis. No burst-only behaviour is specified; the link is engineered for sustained traffic such as storage replication or backbone aggregation. Digital diagnostics monitoring allows real-time observation of optical power and temperature.

Questions about this item

Does my switch need an SFP+ slot to use the 3HE12111AA-AX transceiver?

Yes, the module plugs into any standard SFP+ port that supports 10 Gbps operation.

Can I link this BX-U module with an older BX-D transceiver I already own?

The 3HE12111AA-AX is built for Alcatel equipment and follows the 10GBASE-BX-U specification for single-fibre connections.

How can I confirm the 3HE12111AA-AX is running at the rated 10 Gbps after installation?

Check the switch port statistics for a 10 Gbps link speed and verify zero CRC errors on the interface counters.
