Sure, Bidi Transceiver used to be in pairs, such as a Cisco Compatible SFP-10G23-BX10-I device is always connected to a SFP-10G32-BX10-I device with a single strand of standard SMF.

The primary difference from traditional duplex optical modules is that the BiDi optical module operates as a simplex module allowing the customer to double the utilization of the existing fiber. Besides, bidirectional transceiver doubles the amount of network equipment that can be attached to the same set of 4 fibers, compared to regular transceivers.

The single-fiber BiDi optical module only needs one optical fiber, which is a better choice for users with insufficient optical fiber resources. Dual-fiber optical modules do not need to be paired, and any two optical modules can be connected, if the fiber resources are sufficient, you can choose a dual-fiber optical module. In short, the dual-fiber bidirectional optical module and BiDi optical module have the same effect when used. You can choose according to your needs.

I was told by my AM that the FS BOX supports recoding 10G BIDI optics, except for HP compatible.

I recommend you buy in pairs, BIDI modules are usually needed to be used in pairs.
