The JBX01770 10GBASE-BX80-U SFP+ Transceiver represents a critical component for organizations requiring reliable, long-distance optical connectivity at 10Gigabit speeds. This sophisticated transceiver module is specifically designed to transmit low-voltage network signals over extended fiber distances, supporting up to 80 kilometers of transmission through single-mode fiber (9/125 core diameter). Key Technical Specifications: This module operates at 10GBASE-BX80-U standards, delivering consistent 10Gbps performance while maintaining backward compatibility with Brocade networking equipment. The Simplex LC/UPC connector provides a secure, low-loss interface with industry-standard polished fiber contact surfaces. The transceiver features a compact SFP+ form factor (5mm x 4mm x 2mm), enabling seamless integration into existing network infrastructure without requiring extensive modifications. Performance & Reliability: Engineered with a precision laser transmitter housed in a robust metal case, this transceiver ensures optimal signal integrity over long distances. It qualifies to IEEE 802.3ae specifications and SFF-8431/8472 standards, guaranteeing compatibility with enterprise-grade network equipment. The module operates reliably across an extended temperature range (0-70°C), making it suitable for both climate-controlled data centers and field deployments. Safety & Compliance: This transceiver meets stringent international safety requirements, including Class 1 Laser certification, FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), UL and TUV approvals. It adheres to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and ELV regulations, ensuring safe operation and environmental responsibility. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for data center interconnects, carrier networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and campus fiber backbone installations where long-distance, high-bandwidth connectivity is essential. Organizations replacing existing Brocade 10G-SFPP-BXU80 modules will find this a direct, compatible replacement. With custom brand programming available and backed by a 90-day limited warranty, plus free standard shipping on orders over $99, the JBX01770 delivers enterprise-grade optical connectivity with excellent value and support.
