Product Overview

The HYTOPTODEVICE Cisco compatible GLC-BX-10U BIDI SFP module is a commercial-grade bidirectional optical transceiver designed for cost-effective single-mode fiber networking. Featuring professional TX1310nm transmit / RX1550nm receive wavelength, standard LC fiber connector and single fiber bidirectional transmission type, this 10km BIDI SFP module delivers stable 1.25G data transmission for up to 10 kilometers. Fully compliant with Cisco MSA industry standards, it supports plug-and-play deployment without system alarms or configuration errors. Rated at 0℃ to 70℃ commercial working temperature, it is widely deployed for enterprise campus networking, remote branch interconnection and network monitoring transmission, ideal for system integration and engineering project applications.

Usage Guidelines & Operational Best Practices

Follow standardized operation rules to extend service life and maintain steady link performance of your BiDi SFP Module
  1. Complementary Pairing Requirement Bidirectional transceivers must be deployed in matched wavelength pairs. This TX1310/RX1550 BiDi SFP Module requires a counterparty TX1550/RX1310 Transceiver GLC-BX-10U  at the opposite fiber end; mismatched wavelength pairs cannot establish valid fiber links.
  2. Fiber Type Restriction Only use standard 9/125μm single mode fiber (SMF) with LC/UPC patch cords. This transceiver cannot operate normally on multi-mode fiber (MMF), which triggers severe attenuation and persistent random bit errors.
  3. Distance & Attenuation Control Optimized for stable 10km single-fiber links. For lab testing or field deployment under 5km, an external optical attenuator is mandatory to prevent receiver overpowering, signal saturation and permanent internal optical chip damage.
  4. Optical Port Dust Protection LC optical ports and fiber end faces are highly sensitive to dust and fingerprint contamination. Always reinstall protective dust caps on idle module ports and unused fiber connectors after disconnection.
  5. Hot-Plugging Operation Guidance This MSA-compliant BiDi SFP Module supports safe hot swap. Leave several seconds between removal and reinsertion to let Cisco IOS complete full hardware recognition and avoid unexpected link flapping.
