Transition Networks TN-GLC-FE-100BX-U-40 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Transition Networks TN-GLC-FE-100BX-U-40 is a high-performance Fast Ethernet SFP transceiver module engineered for extended-reach applications using Bi-Directional (BIDI) technology over a single strand of single-mode fiber. This module is specifically designed to support transmission distances of up to 40 kilometers, making it suitable for connecting geographically dispersed network segments. It operates by transmitting data at 1310nm and receiving data at 1550nm on the same fiber, requiring a complementary BIDI transceiver at the remote end that reverses these wavelengths. The primary benefit of this BIDI transceiver is its efficient use of fiber infrastructure. By enabling full-duplex communication over a single fiber strand, it significantly reduces the number of fiber cables required, which is advantageous in situations with limited fiber availability or high cabling costs. The 100 Mbps data rate is appropriate for Fast Ethernet requirements, providing reliable connectivity for various enterprise and carrier applications. Featuring an LC simplex connector, the TN-GLC-FE-100BX-U-40 provides a compact and widely adopted connection standard for single-fiber deployments. Its SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a broad spectrum of networking equipment, offering flexibility in network design. This transceiver represents a robust and economical solution for extending Fast Ethernet networks over longer distances where fiber conservation is a key consideration.
