XCVR-S10U33-ICiena XCVR-S10U33-I Compatible 10G SFP+ BX Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing XCVR-S10U33-I, this HT-manufactured SFP+ module delivers 10G transmission at 1330nm-TX/1270nm-RX. Its rated reach is 10km, with Simplex LC as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support high-density deployments balance optical performance, port access and thermal planning, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

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 10km design range before service.
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.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -6.5~0.5dBm; receiver sensitivity is < -14.4dBm. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. 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.
High-Density Port and Thermal Planning
In a densely populated chassis, connector access and airflow form part of the optical-link design. Confirm that neighboring modules and patch leads leave room for latch operation, and include listed power consumption in the host thermal budget. Assess port density together with fiber management. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 11.3168Gbps, wavelength 1330nm-TX/1270nm-RX, rated reach 10km.
Ordering Information
Use XCVR-S10U33-I as the compatibility cross-reference and SFP-10G32-BX10-I as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Ciena Compatibility and Factory Testing
Compatibility testing for XCVR-S10U33-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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Ciena transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies XCVR-S10U33-I, not an original Ciena-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Simplex LC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 10km, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
