1000BASE-BX SFP BiDi 1310nm-TX/1490nm-RX 10km DOM Simplex LC/UPC SMF Optical Transceiver Module

The 1000BASE-BX-U SFP BiDi 1310nm-TX/1490nm-RX 10km DOM Simplex LC/UPC SMF Optical Transceiver Module offers high-performance bidirectional data transmission over a single-mode fiber (SMF) for up to 10 kilometers. Utilizing 1310nm for transmission and 1490nm for reception, it significantly reduces fiber usage by enabling both sending and receiving on the same fiber. With Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capabilities, real-time performance tracking is possible, ensuring reliability. This module is ideal for cost-effective, long-range communications in metro networks, data centers, and enterprise setups.

What’s BIDI optical transceiver?

A BiDi optical transceiver  (Bidirectional optical transceiver ) is a type of optical transceiver that enables data transmission and reception over a single optical fiber. Unlike traditional optical transceiver s, which require two separate fibers for sending and receiving signals, a BiDi transceiver  uses two different wavelengths to transmit and receive data simultaneously on the same fiber. This technology allows for bidirectional communication over a single fiber link, significantly optimizing fiber usage and reducing infrastructure costs.

Typically, BiDi transceiver s use two distinct wavelengths: one for transmission (TX) and another for reception (RX). For example, a common configuration might be 1310nm for transmission and 1490nm for reception. By utilizing these different wavelengths, BiDi transceiver s maximize the capacity of a single fiber, making them an ideal solution in scenarios where fiber resources are limited or expensive.

The main advantages of BiDi optical transceiver s include:

1. Fiber resource optimization: Reduces the need for additional fibers, lowering costs associated with fiber installation and maintenance.
2. Increased bandwidth utilization: Allows full bandwidth usage of a single fiber by transmitting and receiving data at different wavelengths.
3. Simplified network design: Reduces the complexity of network infrastructure, making it easier to deploy in environments with limited fiber availability.

BiDi transceiver s are widely used in various network applications, particularly in situations where there is a need for long-distance transmission, high data rates, or when optimizing fiber usage in dense network environments. They are commonly deployed in metro networks, data centers, and telecommunication systems.
