Brocade 10G-XFP-BXD-40K 10Gb/s XFP LC Single-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Product Description

This Brocade 10G-XFP-BXD-40K transceiver is a high-performance module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks utilizing single-mode fiber. It employs the XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) standard, offering a compact and hot-swappable solution for network devices. The 'BXD' designation indicates its Bi-Directional (BiDi) capability, meaning it uses a single fiber strand for both transmitting and receiving data, typically requiring a complementary transceiver at the other end that operates on different wavelengths. The transceiver is engineered for extended reach, supporting data transmission over distances of up to 40 kilometers. This makes it suitable for long-haul network links, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and other applications where significant fiber distances need to be covered. The use of single-mode fiber is crucial for achieving these extended distances due to its lower signal attenuation compared to multi-mode fiber. Featuring an LC connector, the 10G-XFP-BXD-40K ensures a secure and reliable physical connection. Its design adheres to industry standards, promoting interoperability with compatible networking equipment. This transceiver is a vital component for extending network reach and capacity over long distances, leveraging the advantages of single-mode fiber and BiDi technology for efficient fiber utilization.
