Transition Networks TN-GLC-FE-100BX-D-20 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Transition Networks TN-GLC-FE-100BX-D-20 is an enhanced Fast Ethernet SFP transceiver module that leverages Bi-Directional (BIDI) technology to facilitate communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber. This module is specifically engineered for extended reach applications, supporting data transmission up to 20 kilometers. It operates by transmitting data at 1310nm and receiving data at 1550nm on the same fiber strand, requiring a complementary BIDI transceiver at the other end that performs the inverse wavelength operation. The primary advantage of this BIDI transceiver is its ability to conserve fiber resources. By enabling full-duplex communication over a single fiber, it significantly reduces the number of fiber strands needed for network links, which is particularly beneficial in environments with limited fiber availability or high cabling costs. The 100 Mbps data rate makes it suitable for legacy Fast Ethernet deployments or specific applications that do not require higher bandwidth. Featuring an SC simplex connector, the TN-GLC-FE-100BX-D-20 provides a robust and standard connection for single-fiber applications. Its SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of network switches, routers, and other equipment that accept SFP modules. This transceiver is an ideal solution for extending Fast Ethernet networks over longer distances where fiber infrastructure is a constraint, offering a cost-effective and efficient connectivity option.
