How to install StarTech.com Cisco SFP-10G-BX-D-40 Compatible SFP+ Module
Follow these steps to install and verify your BiDi transceiver for a reliable 10 GbE link:
- Power down both devices and disconnect power to prevent static discharge and accidental damage during installation.
- Remove the existing module from the SFP+ slot (or ensure the slot is empty) on the Cisco device.
- Hold the module by its edges and align it with the SFP+ slot, then insert firmly until it snaps into place. Do not force insertion, and avoid touching connector tips.
- Connect the paired single-mode fiber cable to the transceiver’s fiber port(s) according to your network design. For BiDi links, ensure the correct fiber polarity and connector type (e.g., LC/UPC) for the Tx/Rx wavelengths as specified by your topology.
- Power on both devices and verify the link status via the device LEDs or management interface. Confirm the port negotiates at 10 GbE and that there are no error indicators on the link.
- Enter the appropriate Cisco configuration for 10GBASE-BX operation if required (e.g., interface settings, speed, duplex). Run basic throughput tests to validate stable performance and verify there are no CRC or retransmission errors.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: Is the StarTech Cisco SFP-10G-BX-D-40 compatible with Cisco switches and routers? A: Yes. This module is designed, programmed, and tested to work with 10GBase-BX compatible Cisco devices and pairs with StarTech's SFP-10G-BX-U-40-ST for upstream connectivity.
- Q: What distance can this BiDi transceiver support? A: It supports up to 40 kilometers over single-mode fiber, depending on fiber quality, connector integrity, and overall network design.
- Q: Can I use this module with non-Cisco equipment? A: The module is engineered for Cisco 10GBase-BX deployments; compatibility with non-Cisco devices is not guaranteed and may require testing or alternative models from StarTech.
- Q: Does this module require any special configuration? A: In most environments it operates as a standard SFP+ transceiver. Ensure the connected device port is configured for 10GBASE-BX mode, and verify the correct fiber pairing and polarity in your network design.
- Q: Is the module hot-swappable? A: Yes. Like other SFP+ modules, it can be inserted or removed without powering down the entire system, though best-practice safety steps and equipment shutdown are recommended for critical deployments.

Sturdy disposable plates that handle real meals without getting soggy
Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count, Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count
These 9-inch compostable plates are a great option when you want the convenience of disposable plates without the flimsy feel of standard paper ones. The bagasse material gives them a much sturdier structure, so they hold up well even with heavier foods.
What I noticed right away is that they do not bend or soak through easily. Foods with sauces, oils, or moisture sit on the plate without making it soft or soggy. Plates made from sugarcane fiber are designed to resist grease and liquids better than typical paper plates while still being biodegradable. 
The 9-inch size works well for full meals, not just snacks. I have used them for things like pasta, barbecue, and salads, and they held up without needing to double stack plates. They also have a nice natural brown look that works well for casual gatherings, cookouts, or parties.
Another plus is the eco-friendly aspect. Bagasse plates are made from leftover sugarcane fibers, which makes them a renewable alternative to plastic or foam disposable plates.  It is nice to have something convenient that is also a little better for the environment.
Overall these are sturdy, practical disposable plates that actually feel durable enough for real meals. Great for parties, family gatherings, picnics, or anytime you want easy cleanup without using flimsy plates.

ACTUALLY heavy duty
Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count
These plates are actually better than I expected. I’ve used a lot of disposable plates that claim to be “heavy duty” and then immediately start bending the second you put real food on them, but these feel sturdier than the average cheap paper plate. The 9-inch size is a good everyday size too, big enough for a normal meal without feeling tiny, and I like the natural brown color because it looks a little nicer and less flimsy than plain white party plates. For cookouts, birthdays, quick dinners, or anything where I just do not want extra dishes, these have been really convenient.
What I like most is that they feel substantial without being overly thick or bulky. They hold up better than the thin paper plates that get soggy fast, and that matters a lot when there’s anything heavier or messier on them. I also like having a bigger pack on hand because disposable plates are one of those things that disappear faster than you think, especially with kids, parties, or just busy weeks. The compostable part is a nice bonus, but honestly what matters most to me is that they actually do the job and don’t feel like they’re going to fold in half in my hand.
