Extreme compatible MGBIC-BX10-U Description
EdgeOptic's MGBIC-BX10-U compatible is an Extreme Networks-coded version of the EdgeOptic BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD multi-vendor 1000BASE-BX BiDi SFP transceiver. It transmits at 1310nm and receives at 1490nm over a single strand of single-mode fiber through an LC connector, conforming to IEEE 802.3ah 1000BASE-BX10. As with any BiDi SFP, this module pairs with a matching BX10-D unit at the far end to complete one bidirectional link.
The EdgeOptic build uses an FP laser transmitter and a PIN photodiode receiver, with transmit power from −9 to 3 dBm, receive sensitivity better than −22 dBm and overload rated at −3 dBm. The 1310nm and 1490nm bands each carry a 40nm passband, 1290 to 1330nm and 1470 to 1510nm, with 140 to 160 ps/nm of chromatic dispersion tolerance, supporting a 15dB optical link budget and up to 20km of reach over single-mode fiber. Operating temperature runs 0 to 70C on a 3.3V supply, with DDM diagnostics reported per SFF-8472. Compliance covers CE, RoHS, Class 1 laser safety per FDA/IEC 60825-1, and the INF-8074i SFP MSA.
This module ships in the same single-strand LC BiDi footprint as the original 1000BASE-BX10-U code, so no fiber patching or connector conversion is needed to swap it in. EdgeOptic backs it with 15+ years of compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms and a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Extreme Networks MGBIC-BX10-U need to be paired with the MGBIC-BX10-D?
Yes. Extreme's own installation guide documents the 1000BASE-BX10-U and 1000BASE-BX10-D as a matched pair. The U unit transmits at 1310nm and receives at 1490nm, while the D unit transmits at 1490nm and receives at 1310nm over the same fiber strand. Install one of each type at opposite ends of the link. Two U units, or two D units, will not establish a link.
The OEM MGBIC-BX10-U is a 10km 1000BASE-BX10-U module. Why does the EdgeOptic compatible list 20km?
Extreme's own documentation rates the native MGBIC-BX10-U at a 10km maximum transmission distance with an 8dB link power budget. EdgeOptic's compatible is built on the BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD hardware platform, which carries a 15dB optical link budget supporting up to 20km over single-mode fiber. The extended reach is a property of EdgeOptic's compatible design, not a spec published for the OEM Extreme part itself. Plan link budget calculations around the fiber plant and connector losses on the specific route.
Will my Extreme Networks switch accept a third-party MGBIC-BX10-U compatible transceiver?
Extreme's third-party transceiver policy states that Extreme does not guarantee correct operation of non-Extreme-branded optics, recommends Extreme-branded modules, and disclaims liability for issues caused by third-party transceivers, without stating that third-party optics are blocked outright. Extreme directs customers to its Extreme Optics Compatibility website to verify a given transceiver against a specific switch and software release before deployment.
