Cisco GLC-BX-U SFP Module : Single-Fiber BiDi , 10km Range , Cisco-Compatible Optical Module
The Cisco GLC-BX-U SFP Module is a high-performance, single-fiber bidirectional (BiDi) optical transceiver designed for cost-effective and efficient fiber connectivity in enterprise and data center networks. This Cisco-compatible SFP module enables bidirectional communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber (SMF), reducing fiber infrastructure costs while delivering reliable 10km transmission range.
Key Features & Benefits:
✔ Single-Fiber BiDi Technology – Uses 1310nm TX / 1490nm RX wavelengths to transmit and receive data over one fiber, doubling fiber efficiency.
✔ 10km Reach – Ideal for metro, campus, and data center interconnects without requiring additional fiber cabling.
✔ Low Power Consumption – Energy-efficient design with 1W typical power consumption.
✔ Hot-Swappable & Cisco Certified – Plug-and-play compatibility with Cisco switches & routers (Catalyst, Nexus, ISR, etc.).
✔ Industrial Temperature Support (–40°C to 85°C) for harsh environments.
