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.

Technical Specifications (GLC-BX-U SFP Module):

Applications:

• Fiber-to-the-Business (FTTB) & FTTx uplinks

• Enterprise campus & data center interconnects

• Telecom & ISP backhaul connections

Pairing Requirement:

The GLC-BX-U must be used with its counterpart GLC-BX-D (1490nm Tx / 1310nm Rx) to establish a complete BiDi link.
