Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fiber cabling is required for this SFP+ transceiver?
This SFP+ transceiver requires single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cabling with LC connectors to achieve its specified 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and 60 km maximum transfer distance.
Can this transceiver be used with non-Cisco networking equipment?
While designed and tested for Cisco SFP-10G-BX-D-60 compatibility, this transceiver adheres to the 10GBASE-BX standard. It may function with other brands supporting this standard, but full compatibility should be verified with the equipment manufacturer.
What is the purpose of the different Tx and Rx wavelengths (1330 nm / 1270 nm)?
The SFP-10G-BX-D-60-ST uses Bi-Directional (BiDi) technology, employing different transmit (1330 nm) and receive (1270 nm) wavelengths to send and receive data over a single strand of single-mode fiber, effectively doubling fiber utilization.
Does this SFP+ module support multi-mode fiber connections?
No, the StarTech.com SFP-10G-BX-D-60-ST is specifically designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) applications and does not support multi-mode fiber (MMF) connections.
