Part numbers: 10058, 10059
The 100BASE-BX SFP modules include the 100BASE-BX-U SFP module and the 100BASE-BX-D SFP module. These two SFP modules are used together in an ExtremeSwitching or Summit switch to permit a bidirectional 100-Mbps Ethernet connection using a single strand of SMF cable and LC connectors.
The 100BASE-BX-U SFP module is always connected to the 100BASE-BX-D SFP module. The 100BASE-BX-D SFP operates at wavelengths of 1550-nm TX/1310-nm RX wavelength), and the 1000BASE-BX-U SFP operates at wavelengths of 1310 nm TX/1550 nm RX. The maximum transmission distance for this connection is 10 km. The 100BASE-BX SFP modules conform to the IEEE 802.3ah standard.
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.
The 100BASE-BX SFP modules conform to the IEEE 802.3ae standard.

Note
The 100BX bidirectional SFPs include two SFP optical devices, the 100BASE-BX-U SFP and the 100BASE-BX-D SFP, which must be used as a pair to create a single fiber bidirectional connection.
