The JBX01694 10GBASE-BX10-U SFP+ optical transceiver represents a premium solution for organizations requiring high-speed, long-distance network connectivity. This module is engineered to deliver 10 gigabits per second (10Gbps) data transmission capabilities over extended distances up to 10 kilometers using single-mode fiber (SMF), making it ideal for campus networks, data center interconnects, and metropolitan area network (MAN) deployments. Key Technical Specifications: This transceiver operates on a 9/125 micrometer single-mode fiber core, providing exceptional signal integrity and minimal attenuation over distance. The simplex LC/UPC connector design ensures compatibility with standard fiber infrastructure while maintaining low insertion loss and return loss characteristics. Operating within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range, the module accommodates both indoor and outdoor installation requirements. Compatibility and Integration: Developed as a direct replacement for the Brocade 10G-SFPP-BXU-T transceiver (OEM part number), this module integrates seamlessly into existing Brocade network environments without requiring firmware modifications or extensive reconfiguration. Full compliance with IEEE 802.3ae, SFF-8431, and SFF-8472 standards ensures interoperability with certified network equipment. Safety and Compliance: The unit maintains multiple certifications: Class 1 Laser designation, TUV, UL, and FDA 21CFR 1040.10 compliance, ensuring safe operation in regulated environments. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance confirms environmental responsibility. Build Quality and Durability: Constructed with a robust metal case housing and precision laser transmitter components, this transceiver withstands demanding operational conditions. The industrial-grade design accommodates frequent installation/removal cycles typical in data center environments. Value and Support: Includes 90-day limited warranty coverage and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Custom brand programming options are available for enterprise customers requiring standardized branding across their network infrastructure. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for network administrators upgrading bandwidth-intensive applications, consolidating data center connections, or extending network reach across campuses. Perfect for organizations transitioning from legacy 1G infrastructure to 10G environments.
