20km Bi-Directional SFP+ Transceiver

This Brute Networks SFP+ transceiver delivers 10 Gbps over single-mode fibre using a bi-directional 1270nmTx/1330nmRx wavelength pair. It reaches 20km on a single LC simplex connector and is built for Cisco equipment that expects the SFP-10G-BXU part. The module operates across a commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 C and includes digital output monitoring.

Compatibility and Port Check

Verify that your switch or router accepts SFP+ modules coded for Cisco SFP-10G-BXU and that the opposing end uses the matching 1330nmTx/1270nmRx wavelength. Confirm the link budget supports the 20km distance on your single-mode fibre run. Ensure an LC simplex patch cable is available and that the port is configured for 10GBASE-BX-D operation.

Upgrade from Shorter-Reach or Dual-Fibre Modules

This unit replaces 10km bi-directional transceivers or dual-fibre 10GBASE-LR pairs when a 20km single-strand link is required. The jump is worth it when existing fibre plant only supports one strand or when consolidation onto a single LC port reduces patch-panel density. It does not suit links beyond 20km or environments needing industrial temperature ratings.

Questions about this item

Does the SFP-10G-BXU ship with a patch cable or must I order an LC simplex single-mode lead separately?

The transceiver uses an LC simplex connector; a matching single-mode patch cable is not included and must be purchased separately.

The listing shows one wavelength pair — 1270nmTx/1330nmRx — so how do I know this is the correct BX-U module for my link?

This module transmits at 1270 nm and receives at 1330 nm; the companion BX-D unit must use the opposite pair to complete the bi-directional link over a single strand.

What does the 20 km reach mean when the transceiver is installed in a live 10 Gbps switch port?

At 10 Gbps over single-mode fiber the module is rated for 20 km, provided the link budget, connector loss and fiber attenuation stay within the 10GBASE-BX-D specification.
