In the following figure, the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) paths share the same fiber by using two
different wavelengths. One model transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1490 nm, while the mating
model transmits at 1490 nm and receives at 1310 nm. You can only connect a mating pair.
The long wavelength optical transceivers used in these models provide variable distance ranges
using single mode fiber optic cabling.
You can use 1000BASE-BX SFP transceivers to double the number of your fiber links. For example,
if you install 20 fiber pairs with 20 conventional ports connected, you can use 1000BASE-BX SFP
transceivers to expand to 40 ports, using the same fiber.
The following table provides the reach and part numbers for each of the mating pairs.

1000BASE-BX10 bidirectional DDI SFP specifications
The 1000BASE-BX10 SFP transceivers (part numbers AA1419069-E6 and AA1419070-E6) can
attain a reach of up to 10 km.
The following table describes standards, connectors, cabling, and distances for the 1000BASE-
BX10 SFP transceiver.
