10km Bi-Directional SFP Transceiver

This Brute Networks SFP module provides a 1000BASE-BX-D connection over single-mode fibre. It transmits at 1490nm and receives at 1010nm to reach distances up to 10km. The transceiver fits standard SFP slots in routers, switches or servers and is coded for full Cisco compatibility. Digital optical monitoring allows real-time link health checks.

Network teams needing single-fibre reach

IT teams extending campus or metro links over a single strand of single-mode fibre will find this module suited to the task. It operates across a commercial temperature range of 0 to 70°C. Buyers who require multi-mode fibre support or reaches beyond 10km should look at alternative transceiver types.

1Gbps capacity with 10km headroom

The link runs at 1Gbps full-duplex with LED indicators for power, link activity, duplex mode and speed. It comfortably handles enterprise uplinks and access-layer aggregation within the 10km single-mode budget. The optical budget is exhausted beyond 10km or when paired with multi-mode cabling.

Questions about this item

What switch or router slot is required for this SFP transceiver to operate?

The module fits any standard SFP port coded for 1000BASE-BX-D and compliant with the MSA multi-source agreement.

Can this 1490 nm TX / 1010 nm RX module link with an existing 1310 nm TX / 1490 nm RX transceiver on the same fibre strand?

Yes, the TX and RX wavelengths are reversed so a pair of opposite-direction modules completes a bi-directional link over single-mode fibre.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the link is up and running at 1 Gbps?

The Power, Link/Activity, Full-Duplex and Speed indicators will all be lit when the connection is established.
