Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

This BiDi interface is useful where only one fiber strand is available between two sites or racks. It must be paired with the complementary wavelength direction: one end transmits on the wavelength that the other end receives. Verify the paired part number, connector polish and fiber plant before installation, and measure link loss against the specified optical budget.

The industrial temperature rating makes this version appropriate for controlled outdoor cabinets, transport nodes and other installations exposed to wider ambient temperature variation. Adequate airflow, protected cable routing and host-platform temperature limits still apply.

BiDi operation saves a fiber strand but makes wavelength orientation critical. Record the part installed at each end and check its paired receive wavelength. The 80km rating still depends on total channel loss, including connectors and splices.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Before packing, the module receives interface inspection, identification and link checks. Protective packaging avoids pressure on the connector and latch. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is 0~5dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-23dBm; the stated optical power budget is 23dB. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Data-Center Optical Design and Airflow

Select the module by optical standard, reach and rack layout. Check the complete fiber channel, including panels and connectors, and keep dense bundles from blocking front-panel airflow. Account for listed power consumption and preserve enough space to remove a module without disturbing adjacent links. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 10.3125Gbps, wavelength 1490nm-TX/1550nm-RX, rated reach 80km.

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify SFP-10G-BX80-I, SFP-10G45-BX80-I, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Intel Compatibility and Factory Testing

Factory verification starts with the expected SFP-10G-BX80-I identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
