Cisco Compatible XFP-10GBX-U-1270-60 BiDi Optical Transceiver | 10GBASE-BX, 1270nm-TX/1330nm-RX, LC Simplex, SMF (60km)
Product Overview
The Cisco Compatible XFP-10GBX-U-1270-60 BiDi Optical Transceiver is a high-performance 10Gbps XFP module designed for extended long-distance single-fiber (BiDi) communication over single-mode fiber (SMF). Utilizing advanced Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, it operates with a 1270nm transmitter and 1330nm receiver, enabling bidirectional data transmission over a single fiber strand.
With a transmission distance of up to 60 kilometers, this module is ideal for metro, regional, and telecom backbone networks where both fiber efficiency and extended reach are required. Fully compatible with Cisco platforms, it delivers reliable performance and a cost-effective alternative to traditional dual-fiber optics.
