Q1: What is a 10G BiDi 10km SFP+ transceiver?

A 10G BiDi 10km SFP+ transceiver is a single-fiber bidirectional optical module that transmits and receives data over one strand of single-mode fiber using two different wavelengths. It doubles fiber utilization while supporting 10Gbps Ethernet transmission.

Key features include:

• 10Gbps data rate

• 1310nm/1550nm BiDi transmission

• Up to 10km over SMF

• Simplex LC or SC connector

• Hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor

It is ideal for enterprise networks, data centers, and telecom access applications.

Q2: How does a 10G BiDi transceiver work?

The module uses WDM technology to transmit and receive optical signals at different wavelengths over a single fiber. One end transmits at 1310nm and receives at 1550nm, while the opposite module uses the reverse wavelengths, enabling simultaneous bidirectional communication.

Q3: What are the key features of the C-LIGHT 10G BiDi 10km transceiver?

The C-LIGHT 10G BiDi transceiver is designed for efficient single-fiber networking.

Key features include:

• 10.31Gbps data rate

• 1310nm/1550nm wavelength pair

• Up to 10km transmission

• DFB laser and PIN receiver

• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)

• Power consumption ≤1W

These features provide reliable and cost-effective optical connectivity.

Q4: What are the advantages of a 10G BiDi transceiver?

Compared with traditional duplex optical modules, a BiDi transceiver offers:

• Uses only one fiber

• Higher fiber utilization

• Lower cabling costs
