Cisco Compatible XFP-10GBX-D-1330 BiDi Optical Transceiver | 10GBASE-BX, 1330nm-TX/1270nm-RX, LC Simplex, SMF (20km)
Product Overview
The Cisco Compatible XFP-10GBX-D-1330 BiDi Optical Transceiver is a high-performance 10Gbps XFP module designed for single-fiber (BiDi) communication over single-mode fiber (SMF). Utilizing Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, it operates with a 1330nm transmitter and 1270nm receiver, enabling bidirectional transmission over a single fiber strand.
With a reach of up to 20 kilometers, this module is ideal for enterprise, data center, and telecom access networks where fiber resources are limited. Fully compatible with Cisco platforms, it provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to standard dual-fiber transceivers.
