10Gb SFP+ single-strand for Catalyst 3850

[godfrey_n]

Hi everyone

Can anyone tell me what options i have for running 10Gb over a single-strand on OS2.  Getting a bit lost looking at the tech pages and i don't want to get the wrong module (if there is one).  I'm looking at running over a 10 mile link.  part numbers would be awesome as would any addition advice.

Thanks for reading

I don't know this answer for sure.

I believe you need these two optics (one on each end):

SFP-10G-BXD-I

SFP-10G-BXU-I

The optics compatible with Cisco 3850's are listed on this page:

This URL describes the single strand of fibre operation (search for BXD):

I just spotted you said "mile" instead of "km".  The part numbers I have given are good for up to 10km (just over 6 miles).

This means you need these two part numbers instead (good for 40km, 24 miles):

SFP-10G-BX40D-I

SFP-10G-BX40U-I

What you need is Bidi(Bi-Directional) transceivers.

Notice that you have to buy a pair of Bidi transceivers, they can't work with others.

Link lengths of 10KM(SFP-10G-BXU-I, SFP-10G-BXD-I), 20KM(SFP-10G-BX20U-I, SFP-10G-BX20D-I) and 40KM(SFP-10G-BX40U-I, SFP-10G-BX40D-I) are available.
