Description

The SFP-10G-ERBD-U-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Arista SFP-10G-ERBD-U. This BiDi SFP+ transceiver operates plug-and-play with Arista platforms running EOS 4.21.3 or later. - IEEE 802.3ae compliance ensures standards-based interoperability across 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks - SFP+ form factor, 10 Gbps data rate, Tx 1270nm / Rx 1330nm wavelength pairing for uplink direction - OS2 single-mode fibre, LC simplex connector, up to 40km reach over single fibre strand - BiDi WDM technology transmits and receives on one fibre, halving fibre consumption versus duplex transceivers - DDM/DOM support provides real-time monitoring of transmit power, receive power, temperature, voltage, and laser bias current - Must be paired with SFP-10G-ERBD-D downlink module at the far end for correct bidirectional operation

Features

• BiDi WDM wavelength-division multiplexing transmits 1270nm and receives 1330nm simultaneously on a single fibre strand, reducing fibre infrastructure requirements by 50 percent compared to duplex transceivers
• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ER compliance guarantees interoperability with standards-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment and confirms the electrical and optical performance parameters required for extended-reach single-mode applications
• DFB laser transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver integrated into a simplex LC interface deliver reliable 10 Gbps full-duplex transmission with low power consumption under 1.2W
• DDM/DOM digital diagnostics allow real-time access to transmit power, receive power, temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current via the I2C interface per SFF-8472, enabling proactive fault detection and simplified troubleshooting
• Hot-swappable design permits live insertion and removal from SFP+ ports without powering down the host platform, supporting zero-downtime maintenance and field upgrades
• Matched-pair deployment requirement ensures the uplink module (Tx 1270nm / Rx 1330nm) is paired with the complementary downlink variant (Tx 1330nm / Rx 1270nm) at the far end for correct WDM operation
• Intended for metro interconnects, campus backbone links, and data centre site-to-site connectivity where fibre strand availability is constrained and distances reach up to 40km over OS2 single-mode fibre

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Arista SFP-10G-ERBD-U?
A: Yes. The SFP-10G-ERBD-U-BCC is a drop-in replacement based on the same SFP+ form factor, 10 Gbps data rate, and IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ER standard as the Arista original. It operates plug-and-play with Arista platforms running EOS 4.21.3 or later.

Q: Which Arista platforms support this transceiver?
A: This module is supported on Arista SFP+ platforms running EOS 4.21.3 or later. Compatibility extends across the Arista switching portfolio with SFP+ ports. Consult the Arista Transceiver and Cable Guide or contact Blue Cable Co to confirm compatibility with your specific platform model.

Q: Why must I pair this with the SFP-10G-ERBD-D at the far end?
A: BiDi transceivers use WDM technology with complementary wavelength pairs. The uplink variant (this module) transmits at 1270nm and receives at 1330nm. The downlink variant transmits at 1330nm and receives at 1270nm. Pairing two uplink modules or two downlink modules results in mismatched wavelengths and no link. Each end must have the opposite variant for the WDM optical path to function correctly.

Q: When is optical attenuation required with this transceiver?
A: On fibre runs significantly shorter than the rated 40km distance, the transmitted optical power may exceed the receiver maximum input power specification, risking signal errors or permanent receiver damage. For very short links, insert an inline LC fibre attenuator (typically 5 dB or greater) to reduce power to within the receiver operating range. Consult the optical power budget in the datasheet for minimum link loss requirements.

Q: Can I use this transceiver for 1G Ethernet or other data rates?
A: The SFP+ chipset supports data rates from 1.25 Gbps to 10.3125 Gbps, which includes Gigabit Ethernet and STM-64. However, the actual supported applications depend on the host port configuration and platform capabilities. This module is designed and qualified primarily for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-ER). For multi-rate support, verify compatibility with your specific Arista platform and EOS version.
