10G BiDi XFP Optical Transceiver for Single-Fiber Long-Distance Ethernet Links

10G BiDi XFP Optical Transceiver Overview

C-LIGHT 10G BiDi XFP optical transceivers are designed for high-speed Ethernet connections that need to transmit and receive optical signals through a single strand of single-mode fiber. By assigning different wavelengths to the two transmission directions, the BiDi architecture enables two-way communication without requiring a separate fiber for each direction.

Built in the XFP form factor, the series supports 9.95Gb/s to 11.1Gb/s operation and provides reach options from 2km to 80km. The available configurations use complementary wavelength pairs and LC connectors, making the modules suitable for extending 10G optical links where fiber resources or existing infrastructure need to be used efficiently.

10G BiDi XFP Optical Transceiver Key Features

Single-Fiber Bidirectional Architecture

One optical fiber carries both upstream and downstream signals, with different wavelengths assigned to each direction of transmission.

9.95Gb/s to 11.1Gb/s Operation

The modules support a 10G-class data-rate range for compatible high-speed Ethernet networking equipment.

2km to 80km Reach

Available versions cover 2km, 10km, 20km, 40km, 60km, and 80km links, allowing the module to be selected according to the actual fiber path.

Complementary Optical Wavelengths

The product family uses paired wavelengths such as 1270nm/1330nm and 1490nm/1550nm, with the reverse pair used for the opposite transmission direction.

Single-Mode Fiber

All listed configurations are designed for SMF transmission, supporting medium- and long-distance optical connections.

LC Interface

The optical interface uses LC connectivity for integration with compatible fiber optic network equipment.

XFP MSA Packaging

The module uses the XFP form factor and XFP MSA packaging specification for compatible XFP-based systems.

Commercial and Industrial Temperature

Both commercial and industrial case-temperature options are listed across the product configurations.

10G BiDi XFP Optical Transceiver Applications

10G Switch Connections

The modules can be used for direct optical connections between compatible 10G switches where single-fiber BiDi transmission is preferred.

Fiber Media Converter Links

BiDi XFP modules can provide the optical interface for compatible fiber optic media converter applications requiring 10G transmission.

OEO Converter Connections

The product family can be deployed with compatible optical-electrical-optical converter systems for extended network connections.

Long-Distance Ethernet

40km, 60km, and 80km versions provide options for extending 10G Ethernet connectivity across longer single-mode fiber routes.

Enterprise Fiber Infrastructure

The single-fiber design can be useful when existing enterprise fiber infrastructure has limited available fiber strands.

Network Expansion

Different reach variants allow network operators to select an optical module based on the distance between switches, converters, or optical network nodes.

Why Choose C-LIGHT 10G BiDi XFP Optical Transceiver?
