• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-BX10-D standard compliance ensures transparent interoperability with any vendor's BX10-U upstream optics, eliminating vendor lock-in for single-fibre bidirectional links
• Bidirectional operation uses integrated WDM splitter to separate 1270nm and 1330nm wavelength channels on the same fibre strand, halving fibre infrastructure cost compared to duplex optics
• Industrial temperature rating (-40 to 85 degrees Celsius) supports deployment in outdoor cabinets, railside equipment, industrial automation, and remote cell sites without environmental conditioning
• SFF-8472 DOM capability exposes real-time optical power (transmit and receive), temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage over I2C for proactive link margin monitoring and troubleshooting
• Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor delivers 10G throughput in high-density configurations, with optical budget of 6.2 dB supporting links up to 10km over OS2 single-mode fibre
• Downstream (BXD) role transmits 1330nm and receives 1270nm, pairing exclusively with upstream (BXU) optics that transmit 1270nm and receive 1330nm for full-duplex bidirectional communication
