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

Product Description

The Transition Networks TN-GLC-FE-100BX-U-20 is a Fast Ethernet SFP transceiver module that utilizes Bi-Directional (BIDI) technology to enable full-duplex communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber. This module is optimized for extended reach applications, supporting transmission distances of up to 20 kilometers. It operates by transmitting data at 1310nm and receiving data at 1550nm on the same fiber, necessitating a paired BIDI transceiver at the opposite end of the link that performs the inverse wavelength configuration. The key advantage of this BIDI transceiver is its efficiency in fiber utilization. By consolidating both transmit and receive signals onto a single fiber strand, it significantly reduces the number of required fiber cables, which is highly beneficial in environments with limited fiber availability or high cabling costs. The 100 Mbps data rate makes it suitable for Fast Ethernet deployments and applications that do not require higher bandwidth. Featuring an LC simplex connector, the TN-GLC-FE-100BX-U-20 provides a compact and widely adopted connection standard for single-fiber applications. Its SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of network switches, routers, and other equipment that support SFP modules, offering flexibility in network design and deployment. This transceiver is an effective solution for extending Fast Ethernet networks over medium to long distances where fiber conservation is a priority.
