Juniper BP3AM1DE-31 1Gb/s SFP (mini-GBIC) 80km LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Juniper BP3AM1DE-31 is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module engineered for robust network connectivity over extended distances. Operating at a data rate of 1 Gigabit per second (Gb/s), this transceiver is specifically designed for deployment within Juniper Networks' extensive portfolio of switches, routers, and other network infrastructure devices. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cables and vice versa, enabling seamless communication between network nodes. This particular model excels in long-haul applications, supporting transmission distances of up to 80 kilometers (approximately 49.7 miles) over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cable. This capability makes it an ideal choice for connecting geographically dispersed network segments, such as linking different buildings, campuses, or metropolitan area network (MAN) points. The use of single-mode fiber is crucial for achieving such extended reach due to its lower signal attenuation and dispersion characteristics compared to multi-mode fiber. The transceiver utilizes an LC duplex connector, a compact and widely adopted standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. Its hot-swappable design allows for installation or replacement without the need to power down the host network device, minimizing network downtime and facilitating easier maintenance and upgrades. The BP3AM1DE-31 is typically designed to operate at a specific wavelength, commonly 1550nm for long-haul SMF applications, to maximize transmission efficiency over its specified range.
