Description

The GLC-BX-D-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco GLC-BX-D. This bidirectional SFP transceiver is designed for plug-and-play operation in Cisco switches and routers with SFP ports. - IEEE 802.3ah 1000BASE-BX10-D compliance guarantees interoperability with standard-based 1000BASE-BX10-U devices - SFP form factor, 1.25 Gbps data rate, 1490nm transmit and 1310nm receive wavelengths over single-mode fibre - Up to 10km reach on a single strand of SMF using simplex LC connector, reducing fibre requirements by half - Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) per SFF-8472 MSA provides real-time access to optical power, temperature, laser bias current and supply voltage - Must be paired with a complementary 1000BASE-BX10-U module (transmits 1310nm, receives 1490nm) for bidirectional communication

Features

• IEEE 802.3ah 1000BASE-BX10-D standard compliance ensures wavelength pairing with any compliant 1000BASE-BX10-U module for bidirectional transmission over a single fibre strand
• Integrated WDM splitter separates 1490nm transmit and 1310nm receive paths within the SFP housing, eliminating the need for external wavelength multiplexing hardware
• SFF-8472 MSA DOM capability exposes five diagnostic parameters in real-time: optical output power, received optical power, module temperature, transmitter bias current and supply voltage for proactive link monitoring
• Hot-swappable SFP form factor allows installation and removal without powering down the host switch or router, minimizing network disruption during maintenance
• Single-strand fibre architecture reduces fibre plant costs and complexity in point-to-point links by eliminating the second fibre strand required by conventional duplex optics
• Commercial temperature rating (0°C to 70°C) suits standard data centre and office environments; verify host platform thermal limits for high-density deployments
• Must be deployed with a 1000BASE-BX10-U counterpart at the opposite end; incorrect pairing (two BX-D or two BX-U modules) will result in no link due to wavelength mismatch

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco GLC-BX-D?
A: Yes. The GLC-BX-D-BCC is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ah 1000BASE-BX10-D, matching the form factor, data rate, wavelengths and reach of the Cisco GLC-BX-D. It is plug-and-play in any Cisco switch or router with SFP ports that support 1000BASE-BX modules.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver is compatible with Cisco switches and routers that support SFP modules and 1000BASE-BX operation, including Catalyst 2960, 3560, 3650, 3750 series switches and ISR routers. Verify your specific platform supports BiDi SFPs and DOM if diagnostic monitoring is required.

Q: Why must this be paired with a 1000BASE-BX10-U module?
A: BiDi operation requires complementary wavelength pairing. The GLC-BX-D-BCC transmits at 1490nm and receives at 1310nm. The opposite-end module must transmit at 1310nm and receive at 1490nm (BX-U specification) to establish bidirectional communication over a single fibre strand. Two BX-D modules or two BX-U modules will not link.

Q: Can this transceiver operate over multi-mode fibre?
A: No. The 1490nm and 1310nm wavelengths are optimized for single-mode fibre only. Multi-mode fibre exhibits excessive attenuation at these wavelengths and will not support the 10km reach. Only use OS1 or OS2 grade single-mode fibre with simplex LC connectors for this transceiver.

Q: How do I monitor link health using DOM on this module?
A: If your Cisco platform supports SFF-8472 DOM, you can read real-time optical power levels (transmit and receive), temperature, laser bias current and supply voltage via CLI commands such as 'show interfaces transceiver' or equivalent. Monitor received power to detect fibre degradation before link failure, and compare transmit power against datasheet specifications to identify aging laser diodes.

Tested on real vendor hardware in Sydney

Every Blue Cable Co transceiver is coded for your platform and tested in our Sydney test rack on real vendor switches and firewalls before it ships. We check it is recognised and links up the same way the OEM optic does, so you don't find an "unsupported transceiver" error after it's installed.

Brands tested: Cisco, Meraki, Arista, Aruba, HPE, Juniper, Dell, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Check Point, Sophos, Moxa and NVIDIA. Speeds up to 100Gb.
