# StarTech Brocade Compatible 10GBASE-BX-D SFP+ BiDi Fiber Transceiver, 40km, Lifetime Warranty – 10G-SFPP-BXD-40K-ST # **StarTech Brocade Compatible 10GBASE-BX-D SFP+ BiDi Fiber Transceiver, 40km, Lifetime Warranty – 10G-SFPP-BXD-40K-ST** ## **Product Description** The StarTech 10G-SFPP-BXD-40K-ST is a Brocade-compatible 10GBASE-BX-D SFP+ optical transceiver designed for 10GbE networking over single-mode fiber at distances of up to 40 km. It uses bidirectional wavelength-division multiplexing (BiDi) technology to transmit and receive data over a single fiber strand, helping reduce fiber infrastructure requirements. Operating at 1330 nm transmission and 1270 nm reception wavelengths, this downstream transceiver uses an LC connector and supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM). Its hot-swappable design supports convenient installation and replacement in compatible Brocade switches and routers. * * * ## **About StarTech 10G-SFPP-BXD-40K-ST** The StarTech 10G-SFPP-BXD-40K-ST is a 10GbE SFP+ fiber transceiver programmed and tested for compatible Brocade networking equipment. It follows the 10GBASE-BX-D standard and is designed to pair with the complementary StarTech 10G-SFPP-BXU-40K-ST upstream transceiver. Its single-strand BiDi architecture uses different wavelengths for transmitting and receiving data, enabling bidirectional communication over one single-mode fiber strand. DDM support allows compatible network management systems to monitor transceiver status and operating information. * * * ## **Key Features** - **10GbE Connectivity:** Supports high-speed Ethernet data transfer up to 10 Gbps. - **40 km Transmission Distance:** Designed for long-distance single-mode fiber connections. - **10GBASE-BX-D Standard:** Provides downstream bidirectional optical connectivity. - **Single-Strand BiDi Technology:** Transmits and receives data over one fiber strand. - **Wavelengths:** 1330 nm transmit and 1270 nm receive. - **LC Connector:** Supports compatible LC single-mode fiber connections. - **DDM Support:** Enables monitoring through compatible network management tools. - **Hot-Swappable Design:** Allows installation or replacement in supported networking equipment. - **Brocade Compatibility:** Programmed and tested for compatible Brocade switches and routers. - **Low Power Consumption:** Uses less than 1.6W. - **Lifetime Warranty:** Includes StarTech's lifetime warranty and free lifetime multilingual technical support. * * * ## **Ideal Use Cases** - **Enterprise Networking:** Establish long-distance 10GbE fiber links between compatible network devices. - **Data Center Interconnections:** Connect network infrastructure across separate areas or facilities. - **Campus Networks:** Support fiber connectivity between buildings and network distribution points. - **Telecommunications Infrastructure:** Use single-strand BiDi technology where fiber resources are limited. - **Network Expansion:** Extend 10GbE connectivity across existing single-mode fiber infrastructure. - **Network Monitoring:** Use DDM support to monitor transceiver information through compatible management systems. * * * ## **Why Buy from Suntronix?** Suntronix offers genuine technology products and connectivity solutions for business, professional, and personal requirements.
