10G SFP Module – HSGQ SFP-10G-20LR BiDi Single Fiber, 20km, Compatible with Cisco & More

If you are sourcing a 10G SFP module that works across multiple switch vendors, reaches long distances, and does not burn through your fiber budget — this is it. The HSGQ SFP-10G-20LR is a single-fiber BiDi (Bidirectional) SFP+ transceiver that carries a full 10 Gbps link up to 20 kilometres over one LC singlemode fiber strand, using 1270nm to transmit and 1330nm to receive. No second fiber strand, no extra splice points, no inflated infrastructure cost. Just clean, full-speed 10G connectivity — on half the fiber a conventional module would need.

Why This 10G SFP Module Stands Out

Most 10G SFP modules on the market are duplex — they need two fiber strands to run a single link. The HSGQ SFP-10G-20LR is a BiDi module, which means it handles both transmit and receive on one fiber by splitting them across two wavelengths. Pair an A unit (1270nm TX / 1330nm RX) at one end with a B unit (1330nm TX / 1270nm RX) at the other, and you have a full-duplex 10G link running over a single strand. For anyone managing tight fiber counts across long routes — metro links, campus backbones, or inter-building connections — that difference is significant in both cost and logistics.

The other major strength is multi-vendor compatibility. Cheap third-party SFP modules often trigger “unsupported transceiver” errors on Cisco, Huawei, or Juniper platforms. The HSGQ firmware stores vendor-specific identifiers directly on the module, so it registers cleanly without error messages or manual overrides. This complies with the IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR standard and the SFF-8431 electrical interface specification — two benchmarks that serious network operators should always verify on any 10G SFP module they buy.

Key Features of the HSGQ 10G SFP Module

• Single Fiber BiDi Operation: Full-duplex 10G over one LC singlemode strand using dual wavelengths — cuts fiber consumption per link by 50%.
• 10Gbps Data Rate: Handles 4K video, large file transfers, high-density virtualisation, and any high-bandwidth application without throttling the link.
• 20km Reach: Singlemode fiber’s low attenuation keeps the signal clean across metro and campus distances without repeaters or signal boosters.
• Multi-Vendor Compatible: Works on Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, ZTE, Arista, Dell, Ubiquiti, Netgear, H3C, and 20+ other platforms — firmware-programmed to prevent compatibility errors.
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM): Real-time monitoring of TX/RX power, temperature, voltage, and laser bias current via your switch’s management interface. No external test gear needed.
• All-Metal Housing: Superior EMI shielding in high port-density environments, with low power consumption to keep thermals under control.
• Industrial Temperature Option: Available in commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (-40°C to +85°C) variants for outdoor cabinet or harsh environment deployments.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental standards for professional enterprise and telecoms deployments.

Technical Specifications of the 10G SFP Module

Compatible Switch and Router Brands

One of the biggest concerns when buying a third-party 10G SFP module is whether it will actually work on your switch without throwing errors. The HSGQ module is firmware-programmed for the following platforms:

• Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Brocade, Extreme
• Huawei, ZTE, H3C, FiberHome, Ruijie
• Dell, Intel, Mellanox, Netgear, D-Link
• Ubiquiti, Ciena, Avaya, Nortel, Alcatel-Lucent
• Dahua, Hikvision (IP surveillance networks)

Not sure if your specific switch model is covered? The ECA Networks team can confirm compatibility before you order — saving you a wasted trip back to the supplier.

Why Buy Your 10G SFP Module from ECA Networks Kenya?

There is no shortage of SFP modules available online — but a module that fails to register on your switch, drops link intermittently, or ships without the matched B-side unit is a much bigger problem than it looks on a spreadsheet. At ECA Networks, we stock properly programmed, tested HSGQ modules that work on the platforms we say they work on. We also supply matched A/B pairs so your link is ready to go without a second order or a compatibility guess.

We are based in Kenya and supply 10G SFP modules, passive fiber components, and networking hardware to ISPs, data centre teams, enterprise IT departments, and telecoms contractors across East Africa. Fast local availability, honest technical advice, and no “it should work” answers when you ask about compatibility.
