Add-On SFP-1G-BX-D-I-AO BiDi SFP Transceiver
Overview
The Add-On SFP-1G-BX-D-I-AO is an MSA-compliant SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver designed for 1 Gigabit Ethernet data transmission over single-mode fiber. This Bi-Directional (BiDi) module utilizes a single fiber strand for both transmitting and receiving data by operating at different wavelengths on the upstream and downstream paths (1490nm Tx / 1310nm Rx). This is critical for extending network reach in environments where fiber port count is limited or for optimizing existing fiber infrastructure. It's suitable for connecting network switches, routers, or other network devices in surveillance, enterprise, or data center applications.
Compatibility
This SFP module adheres to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and is designed to be compatible with network equipment from major manufacturers that support standard SFP form factors and signaling. It is intended for use in network switches and devices requiring a 1Gbps fiber optic connection with an LC connector. Specific compatibility with proprietary switch hardware should be verified with the switch manufacturer, though MSA compliance ensures broad interoperability.
Installation Notes
Install the SFP-1G-BX-D-I-AO module into an available SFP slot on your network device. Ensure the device is powered off or that the slot supports hot-swapping. Connect the single-mode fiber optic cable to the LC duplex connector. Note that the transmit wavelength (1490nm) on this module must be paired with a module receiving at 1490nm (typically a 1310nm Tx / 1490nm Rx module) on the other end of the fiber link to establish communication. Avoid bending the fiber cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss.
