Add-On SFP-1G-BX-U-I-AO MSA SFP LC 1Gbps BiDi Transceiver
Overview
The Add-On SFP-1G-BX-U-I-AO is an MSA-compliant Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module designed for 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It utilizes a single-strand fiber optic cable with an LC connector, implementing Bi-Directional (BiDi) transmission. This specific model transmits at 1310nm on the TX channel and receives at 1490nm on the RX channel, allowing for full-duplex communication over a single fiber strand. This is critical for extending network reach in environments where deploying dual-fiber infrastructure is impractical or costly, such as upgrading existing surveillance camera networks or connecting remote network switches.
Compatibility
This SFP module is designed to be compatible with network devices that support MSA-compliant SFP transceivers. This includes a wide range of managed switches, routers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers. Specifically, it is suitable for devices requiring a 1Gbps fiber connection using an LC duplex connector and supporting BiDi transmission with 1310nm TX and 1490nm RX wavelengths. Verify your network equipment's SFP port specifications for wavelength and MSA compliance before deployment.
Installation Notes
Install the SFP-1G-BX-U-I-AO module into an available SFP port on your network device. Ensure the device is powered off or that the port supports hot-swapping. Align the module with the port and gently push it in until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector to the module. For BiDi operation, the corresponding transceiver on the other end of the fiber link must be configured for the opposite wavelength pair (1490nm TX / 1310nm RX). Avoid touching the optical connector pins to prevent contamination.
