Transition Networks TN-GLC-BX-D-60 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Transition Networks TN-GLC-BX-D-60 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications. A key feature of this module is its Bi-Directional (BiDi) capability, indicated by the 'BX-D' in its designation. BiDi transceivers transmit and receive data over a single strand of fiber optic cable by using two different wavelengths: one for transmitting and another for receiving. This specific model uses a 1310nm wavelength for one direction and typically a 1550nm wavelength for the other, or vice-versa, allowing for efficient use of fiber resources. This SFP module supports a maximum transmission distance of 60 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF). This makes it an excellent choice for extending Ethernet networks across campuses, between buildings, or in metropolitan area networks where long-haul connectivity is required. The module is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be installed or removed from a network device without interrupting network traffic, which is crucial for maintaining high availability. The TN-GLC-BX-D-60 is designed to be compliant with industry standards for Gigabit Ethernet and SFP modules. It typically includes Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) functionality, which provides real-time data on the transceiver's operational status, such as optical power, temperature, and voltage. This information is vital for network administrators to monitor link performance and diagnose potential issues. The LC connector ensures a secure and reliable fiber connection.
