FAQ
What is the difference between downstream and upstream in 10GBase-BX transceivers?
10GBase-BX transceivers use bidirectional communication over a single fiber strand. Downstream modules transmit on one wavelength and receive on another, while upstream modules do the opposite. This Axiom transceiver is a downstream model, designed to work with a corresponding upstream transceiver for full duplex 10 Gbps links.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this SFP+ transceiver?
This transceiver supports single-mode fiber optic cables with LC connectors. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light for data transmission, enabling longer distances with less signal loss compared to multimode fiber. Ensure your patch cables have LC connectors and are rated for single-mode use at 10 Gbps.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-Extreme Networks equipment?
Yes, this transceiver is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, which means it adheres to industry-standard form factors and electrical interfaces. It should work with any networking device that supports 10GBase-BX10-D SFP+ modules and is not vendor-locked. However, always verify compatibility with your specific switch or router model before deployment.
What is the maximum distance supported by this 10GBase-BX10-D transceiver?
The 10GBase-BX10-D standard typically supports distances up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber, though actual reach can vary based on cable quality and network conditions. This transceiver is designed for such long-haul applications, making it suitable for connecting network segments across buildings or campuses.
