Add-On SFP-17BD-AO RAD SFP 1G-BX LC XCVR

Overview

The Add-On SFP-17BD-AO is a 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module. It utilizes Bi-Directional (BiDi) technology, allowing for full-duplex communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber. This is critical for network infrastructure where fiber port count is limited or for extending network reach in surveillance systems. Its TAA compliance makes it suitable for government and enterprise deployments requiring adherence to trade agreements. The LC connector ensures a secure and standard connection to network switches and fiber optic cabling.

Compatibility

This SFP module is designed for use in network switches and routers supporting standard SFP form factors and 1Gbps Ethernet. It is compatible with network devices from major manufacturers that adhere to SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards. Specifically, it is intended for integration into network backbones supporting surveillance cameras, NVRs, and other IP-based security devices where reliable fiber connectivity is required.

Installation Notes

Install the SFP-17BD-AO module into an available SFP port on your network switch or router. Ensure the port is powered off before insertion. The module requires a single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector. Note that BiDi transceivers are paired: one module transmits on a specific wavelength (e.g., 1310nm) and receives on another (e.g., 1550nm), and the corresponding module at the other end of the fiber link must be configured with the opposite wavelength pairing (e.g., 1550nm transmit, 1310nm receive) to establish a connection. Verify correct wavelength pairing before deployment.
