Cisco Compatible XFP-10GBX-U-1490-80 BiDi Optical Transceiver | 10GBASE-BX, 1490nm-TX/1550nm-RX, LC Simplex, SMF (80km)
Product Overview
The Cisco Compatible XFP-10GBX-U-1490-80 BiDi Optical Transceiver is a high-performance 10Gbps XFP module designed for ultra-long-distance single-fiber (BiDi) communication over single-mode fiber (SMF). Using advanced Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, it operates with a 1490nm transmitter and 1550nm receiver, enabling bidirectional data transmission over a single fiber strand.
With a transmission distance of up to 80 kilometers, this module is ideal for metro core networks, regional backbone links, and data center interconnect (DCI) applications where both maximum reach and fiber efficiency are critical. Fully compatible with Cisco platforms, it provides a cost-effective and scalable alternative to traditional dual-fiber long-haul optics.
