Ciena XCVR-A10S55 SFP Module

About Ciena XCVR-A10S55 100M 10km BiDi SFP Optical Transceiver in Bangladesh

The Ciena XCVR-A10S55 is a 100Mbps single-fiber BiDi SFP optical transceiver designed for compatible Ciena networking equipment. It provides Fast Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber using a simplex LC connection, allowing optical transmission and reception over a single fiber strand.

Ciena's partner catalog identifies the XCVR-A10S55 as a 100M single-fiber SM SFP optic with an LC connector and 10km reach. The catalog specifies 1310nm receive and 1550nm transmit wavelengths. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The XCVR-A10S55 is a BiDi optic and therefore must be paired with a complementary wavelength optic at the opposite end of the fiber link. This makes it useful where only one strand of single-mode fiber is available.

Ciena XCVR-A10S55 SFP Specifications & Features

100Mbps Fast Ethernet

The XCVR-A10S55 is designed for 100Mbps Ethernet applications. Its 100M optical interface provides reliable connectivity for compatible Ciena network platforms and legacy or access-network deployments requiring Fast Ethernet over fiber.

It should not be confused with Ciena's 1Gbps XCVR-A10U55 family, which uses the same general 1550nm/1310nm BiDi concept but operates at a higher data rate.

Single-Fiber BiDi Technology

Unlike conventional duplex optical transceivers that require two fiber strands, the XCVR-A10S55 uses Bidirectional technology to transmit and receive over a single strand of single-mode fiber.

The module transmits at 1550nm and receives at 1310nm. A compatible complementary-wavelength transceiver must be installed at the opposite end of the link.

1550nm TX / 1310nm RX

The XCVR-A10S55 uses wavelength-division technology for bidirectional communication. Its transmit wavelength is 1550nm while its receive wavelength is 1310nm, as identified in Ciena's partner catalog. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

This wavelength pairing means the opposite-end optic must use the complementary wavelength arrangement for the link to operate correctly.

10km Single-Mode Fiber Reach

Ciena lists the XCVR-A10S55 with a maximum transmission distance of 10km over single-mode fiber. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Actual link distance depends on fiber attenuation, connector losses, splice losses, optical power budget and the specifications of the complementary optic.

LC Simplex Connector

The XCVR-A10S55 uses an LC simplex optical connector because its BiDi design transmits and receives through one fiber strand.

When installing the module, use a compatible single-mode LC simplex fiber connection and ensure that the far-end optic uses the complementary wavelength.

Digital Diagnostic Monitoring

Compatible versions of the XCVR-A10S55 support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM), allowing compatible network equipment to monitor transceiver operating parameters.

The exact diagnostic values displayed depend on the Ciena platform and software support.

Compatibility

The XCVR-A10S55 is a Ciena-specific optical transceiver part number. Ciena's partner catalog lists it as an active 100M single-fiber SM SFP optic with LC connectivity and 10km reach. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Before purchasing a replacement, verify the exact Ciena platform, hardware revision, optic coding and required wavelength. A generic 100BASE-BX optic is not automatically guaranteed to operate in every Ciena platform.

Complementary BiDi Optic

Because the XCVR-A10S55 transmits at 1550nm and receives at 1310nm, it must be connected to an optic with the complementary optical arrangement.

Using two identical wavelength-direction BiDi modules on the same fiber link may prevent the optical link from establishing.

XCVR-A10S55 vs XCVR-A10S31

Ciena's partner catalog lists XCVR-A10S31 and XCVR-A10S55 as complementary 100M single-fiber SM SFP optics with opposite wavelength directions. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
