Product Overview
The H3C SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-BIDI is a Gigabit Ethernet Bi-Directional (BIDI) optical transceiver. It operates over single-mode fiber at 1310nm on one end and 1550nm on the other, allowing for transmission over a single fiber strand up to 10km. This BIDI capability reduces fiber infrastructure costs.

Product Description
The H3C SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-BIDI is an advanced Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver designed to optimize fiber usage through its Bi-Directional (BIDI) technology. Unlike traditional transceivers that require two separate fiber strands (one for transmitting and one for receiving), this module uses a single strand by transmitting on one wavelength (e.g., 1310nm) and receiving on another (e.g., 1550nm). This significantly reduces the amount of fiber cabling required, making it a cost-effective solution for network deployments. This transceiver operates over single-mode fiber, supporting standard Gigabit Ethernet speeds of 1.25Gb/s. It is designed for distances of up to 10 kilometers, making it suitable for medium-reach applications in enterprise networks, campus backbones, or metropolitan area networks. The module typically uses a simplex LC connector, as only one fiber strand is needed for the full duplex communication. The BIDI functionality is achieved through integrated Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) filters within the module. This allows for efficient use of existing fiber infrastructure and simplifies cable management. The H3C SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-BIDI is a valuable component for network upgrades or new installations where fiber availability or cost is a concern, providing reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a single fiber strand.
