Single-Fiber 1G SFP Transceiver (BiDi) — LC, DOM, up to 40 km 1550/1310 nm, Single-Mode sfp module
Product Highlights
- Doubles Fiber Capacity: Single-strand BiDi technology for efficient infrastructure use.
- Long-Distance Reach: Supports links up to 40km on single-mode fiber.
- Real-Time Monitoring: DOM provides essential link-health telemetry.
- Cisco Ecosystem Ready: Plug-and-play compatibility with common Cisco platforms.
1. Product Description
Maximize your fiber infrastructure with this hot-pluggable BiDi SFP module, engineered for single-strand Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Utilizing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology, it transmits and receives data on distinct wavelengths (1550nm/1310nm) over a single fiber, effectively doubling your existing fiber capacity. Ideal for long-haul links up to 40km, this module features integrated Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DOM) for real-time performance tracking of optical power and temperature. It offers a cost-efficient, Cisco-compatible solution for expanding metro, campus, and service provider networks without new cable installations.
2. Key Product Features
- Fiber Infrastructure Multiplier: BiDi technology enables full-duplex Gigabit communication over a single fiber strand, reducing cabling costs and complexity.
- Hot-Swap Capability: Industry-standard SFP form factor allows for tool-free installation and replacement without network downtime.
- Precision Wavelength Pairing: Operates as the 'D' unit with a 1550nm downstream transmitter and 1310nm upstream receiver. (Requires a matching 'U' unit with reversed wavelengths at the far end).
- Extended-Reach Performance: Delivers robust connectivity for distances up to 40km on standard 9/125µm single-mode fiber.
- Proactive Network Analytics: DOM support provides real-time telemetry on transmit/receive power, voltage, and temperature for simplified maintenance.
- Validated Cisco Interoperability: Designed for seamless operation in Cisco environments, though platform-specific firmware checks are recommended.
