Calix 100-02581 BX-D SMF 1490nm/1310nm 20km CSFP Module

Product Description

The Calix 100-02581 is a Compact Small Form-factor Pluggable (CSFP) optical transceiver module that leverages BX-D technology for efficient bidirectional data transmission over a single strand of single-mode fiber. This module is specifically designed for high-density access network applications, offering a smaller footprint compared to standard SFPs, which allows for more ports in a given chassis space. The CSFP form factor is crucial for operators looking to maximize port density while minimizing equipment costs and power consumption. This module operates using asymmetric wavelengths: 1490nm for downstream traffic (from the network to the customer) and 1310nm for upstream traffic (from the customer to the network). This dual-wavelength operation on a single fiber strand is the hallmark of BX-D technology, simplifying fiber deployment and reducing the need for costly dual-fiber cabling. The 100-02581 is rated for transmission distances of up to 20 kilometers, making it suitable for a wide range of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) deployments. Equipped with an LC connector, the module ensures a robust and reliable physical interface for the fiber optic cable. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Calix's portfolio of broadband access equipment, providing a cost-effective and high-performance solution for delivering advanced broadband services. The Calix 100-02581 is an essential component for modernizing access networks and meeting the escalating demand for high-speed internet connectivity.
