FAQ for Extreme Compatible BiDi 10G SFP+ Transceiver
Q1: Is this Extreme compatible 10GB-BX20-U BiDi 10G SFP+ transceiver fully plug-and-play on original Extreme switches?
A: Yes, our BiDi 10G SFP+ transceiver passes full layer compatibility testing on all Extreme hardware supporting the 10GB-BX20-U part number, no extra configuration or firmware patch needed. The switch identifies the BiDi 10G SFP+ transceiver as standard 10GBASE-BX optic with complete DOM readout.
Q2: Do I need to buy matching modules when using this 10GB-BX20-U BiDi 10G SFP+ transceiver for single fiber links?
A:Yes, This 10GB-BX20-U BiDi 10G SFP+ transceiver transmits at 1270nm and receives 1330nm signals, so it must pair with 10GB-BX20-D BiDi 10G SFP+ transceiver (1330nm TX / 1270nm RX) to achieve full-duplex single strand communication. HYTOPTODEVICE provide discounted pair pricing for wholesale BiDi 10G SFP+ transceiver orders.
