Add-On SFP-1G-BX-U-N-AO 1000BASE-BX SFP Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On SFP-1G-BX-U-N-AO is a TAA-compliant SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver designed for 1000BASE-BX fiber optic links. It provides a reliable, single-mode fiber connection for network devices, specifically targeting compatibility with Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia equipment. This transceiver is essential for extending network reach over fiber optic cabling, enabling high-speed data transmission in enterprise and carrier environments where fiber infrastructure is deployed. Its single-mode fiber capability allows for long-distance communication, making it suitable for backbone connections or inter-building links.

Compatibility

This SFP transceiver is engineered for compatibility with Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia networking hardware. It is designed to function within the specific port requirements of these manufacturers' switches, routers, and other network devices that accept standard SFP modules. Verify your specific Alcatel-Lucent or Nokia model supports 1000BASE-BX SFP transceivers for guaranteed interoperability.

Installation Notes

Install the SFP-1G-BX-U-N-AO module into a compatible SFP slot on your network device. Ensure the fiber optic cable is correctly terminated and connected to the appropriate port on the transceiver (typically LC duplex for standard SFPs, but check specific transceiver type if non-standard). The transceiver operates by transmitting on one wavelength and receiving on another, so ensure the BX (Bi-Directional) fiber optic cable is correctly paired (e.g., connecting a Tx port to an Rx port and vice-versa across the link). No external power source is required; it draws power from the host device's SFP slot.
