Q1: What is a 10G XFP Single Fiber BiDi 20km transceiver?

A 10G XFP Single Fiber BiDi 20km transceiver is a hot-pluggable XFP optical module that delivers 10Gbps bidirectional communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber. It uses two different wavelengths to maximize fiber utilization while supporting transmission up to 20km.

Key features include:

• 10Gbps data rate

• 1270nm/1330nm BiDi transmission

• Up to 20km over SMF

• Simplex LC connector

• XFP hot-pluggable form factor

It is ideal for enterprise networks, telecom infrastructure, and data center interconnects.

Q2: How does a 10G XFP BiDi transceiver work?

The module uses WDM technology to transmit and receive optical signals on different wavelengths through a single fiber. One module transmits at 1270nm and receives at 1330nm, while the paired module operates in reverse, enabling simultaneous bidirectional communication.

Q3: What are the key features of the C-LIGHT 10G XFP BiDi 20km transceiver?

The C-LIGHT 10G XFP BiDi module is designed for reliable long-distance optical transmission.
