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.

This single-fiber interface must be paired with the complementary wavelength direction. One end transmits on the wavelength the other receives. Verify connector polish and measure loss over the 20km design range before service.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -6~3dBm; receiver sensitivity is < -14.4dBm; the stated optical power budget is 8.4dB. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. 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.

Mixed-Vendor Network Operation

A mixed-vendor optical link should be documented at both ends, not treated as one generic connection. Confirm which OEM identity each host expects and whether both ends use the same wavelength plan and optical standard. Related links locate equivalent hardware, but brand-specific identification must still be selected independently. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 10.3125Gbps, wavelength 1330nm-TX/1270nm-RX, rated reach 20km.

Arista Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility testing for SFP-10G23-BX20-I combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Ordering Information

Quote HT part number SFP-10G32-BX20-I together with OEM reference SFP-10G23-BX20-I and quantity. Add the host model and software release when pre-order verification is required. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
