Description

The SFP-10G-BXU-I-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco SFP-10G-BXU-I. This upstream BiDi transceiver operates plug-and-play in Cisco switches and routers with SFP+ ports supporting 10GBASE-BX. It transmits at 1270nm and receives at 1330nm over single-mode fibre, working in matched pairs with a downstream SFP-10G-BXD-I module. - 10GBASE-BX10-U standard compliance guarantees interoperability with IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure - SFP+ form factor, 10Gbps data rate, single-mode fibre (SMF), up to 10km reach over OS2/G.652 fibre - 1270nm transmit, 1330nm receive wavelengths enable bidirectional transmission over a single fibre strand - Simplex LC connector with integrated WDM diplexer separates transmit and receive light paths - DOM/DDM support per SFF-8472 MSA for real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage - Industrial operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) for deployment in harsh environments

Features

• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-BX10-U compliance ensures the module works with any standards-compliant 10G BiDi upstream port, guaranteeing wavelength pairing and optical budget compatibility.
• Integrated WDM diplexer simultaneously couples the 1270nm transmit wavelength onto the fibre while splitting off the 1330nm receive wavelength to the detector, enabling full-duplex operation over one strand.
• Must be deployed with a complementary downstream module (SFP-10G-BXD-I or equivalent) transmitting at 1330nm and receiving at 1270nm. Upstream-to-upstream pairing will not establish a link.
• Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) extends deployment options to outdoor enclosures, radio/baseband units, and mobile operator backhaul applications where commercial-grade modules cannot operate.
• SFF-8472 DOM exposes real-time parameters including optical transmit power, received power, laser bias current, module temperature, and supply voltage for proactive link monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor allows insertion and removal without powering down the host platform, minimizing service interruption during upgrades or maintenance.
• Version -02 modules add CPRI datarate support (options 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7a, 8) for fronthaul applications connecting radio units to baseband controllers in LTE and 5G networks.

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco SFP-10G-BXU-I?
A: Yes. The SFP-10G-BXU-I-BCC is designed to the 10GBASE-BX10-U standard with the same SFP+ form factor, 10Gbps data rate, 1270nm TX / 1330nm RX wavelengths, and 10km reach specification as the Cisco original. It operates plug-and-play in any SFP+ port that supports the reference module.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this module?
A: This module is compatible with Cisco platforms featuring SFP+ ports that support 10GBASE-BX, including Catalyst 3650, 3850, 4500-X, 9200, 9300, and 9500 series switches, ASR 9000 series routers, and Nexus 7000 series switches. Consult your platform datasheet or Cisco compatibility matrix to confirm 10GBASE-BX support for your specific model and line card.

Q: Why are there upstream and downstream versions, and what happens if I use two upstream modules?
A: BiDi modules transmit and receive on different wavelengths over a single fibre. The upstream module (SFP-10G-BXU-I) transmits at 1270nm and receives at 1330nm. The downstream module (SFP-10G-BXD-I) does the reverse: transmit 1330nm, receive 1270nm. Connecting two upstream modules will not work because both ends would be transmitting on 1270nm and listening on 1330nm. You must deploy complementary pairs.

Q: What fibre type and quality do I need to reach 10km?
A: This module requires single-mode fibre meeting G.652 or OS2 specifications. Maximum reach depends on total link budget, including fibre attenuation (typically 0.35 dB/km at 1310nm), splice or connector loss, and any additional margin for aging. A clean, well-terminated OS2 link under 10km with simplex LC connectors will typically achieve full performance. Poor quality connectors or dirty end faces will reduce margin and may prevent link establishment.

Q: Does this module support forward error correction (FEC) or require specific NOS features?
A: 10GBASE-BX10 does not mandate FEC at the physical layer. The module operates at the native 10.3125 Gbps line rate with 8b/10b encoding. Host-side FEC (such as Firecode or RS-FEC) is not typically required or applied at 10G SFP+ speeds. The module is transparent to the network operating system and will interoperate with any NOS (IOS, IOS-XE, NX-OS, IOS-XR) that recognizes the 10GBASE-BX optic type.
