10 Gb Bidirectional 40 km SFP+ Module

Part numbers: 10GB-BX40-D, 10GB-BX40-U

These two SFP+ modules are used together to permit a bidirectional 10-gigabit Ethernet connection using a single strand of SMF cable and LC connectors up to 40 km. Bidirectional modules must be used in –D and –U pairs.

For a complete listing of hardware compatible with these modules, see the Extreme Optics Compatibility website.

Transmission distances are provided as a nominal guide only. To determine achievable distances, refer to the device's optical specifications and to the specific characteristics of your fiber installation.
