20 km 10 Gbps Bi-Directional SFP+ Transceiver

This Brute Networks SFP+ module delivers 10 Gbps connectivity over single-mode fibre up to 20 km. It uses a 1270 nm transmit and 1330 nm receive wavelength pair in a bi-directional LC simplex design. The unit operates across a commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 °C and is built to meet MSA industry standards for plug-and-play deployment in compatible Cisco equipment.

MSA Compliance and Digital Monitoring

The transceiver follows the multi-source agreement form factor, allowing it to seat in any standard SFP+ cage that accepts 10GBASE-BX-D optics. Digital output monitoring is implemented, so the host system can read real-time temperature, voltage, and optical power levels without extra cabling. A lifetime warranty from the supplier backs the module against defects in materials and workmanship.

Hot-Plug Installation with LC Simplex Cabling

Installation is a hot-plug operation: insert the module until it clicks, then connect a single LC simplex patch cord to the exposed port. The most common issue is reversing the Tx and Rx fibres at the far end; the 1270 nm side must face the 1330 nm side on the paired module. Dust caps should stay on until the moment of connection to avoid contaminating the optical interface.

Questions about this item

Does the LC simplex connector on this Brute Networks SFP-10G-BX20U need periodic cleaning or replacement?

The LC simplex connector should be inspected and cleaned with a fibre-optic cleaning kit whenever links are added or removed, but the transceiver itself has no user-replaceable parts.

What limits the 20 km reach of this 10 Gbps Bi-Directional module during continuous operation?

The 20 km distance is set by the 1270 nm transmit and 1330 nm receive wavelengths on single-mode fibre; attenuation and dispersion on the cable plant are the practical limits.

How much heat and noise does this commercial-temperature SFP+ produce when running all day?

The module operates silently with no fan across the 0 to 70 °C commercial range; heat output is low enough for standard switch airflow.
