two devices, as depicted in Figure 3. SFP-10G-BXD-I transmits a 1330-nm channel and receives a 1270-nm
signal, whereas SFP-10G-BXU-I transmits at a 1270-nm wavelength and receives a 1330-nm signal. Note in
Figure 3 the presence of a Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) splitter integrated into the SFP to split the
1270-nm and 1330-nm light paths. This module also supports CPRI datarate options 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7a, 8.*
