- Incredibly small 10G form factor for a great density per chassis
- Hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into an Ethernet SFP+ port of a Cisco switch
- Supports ""pay-as-you-populate"" model for investment protection and ease of technology migration
- Digital optical monitoring capability for strong diagnostic capabilities
- Optical interoperability with 10GBASE XENPAK, 10GBASE X2, and 10GBASE XFP interfaces on the same link
The Cisco SFP-10G-BXU-I-RF SFPs operate on a single strand of standard SMF. The communication over a single strand of fiber is achieved by separating the transmission wavelength of the devices. The SFP-10G-BXU-I-RF transmits at a 1270-nm wavelength and receives a 1330-nm signal. The SFP-10G-BXU-I-RF SFPs also support Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) functions. This feature gives the end user the ability to monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
