TN-SFP-BXD2 - Transition 1Gbps 1000Base-BX 1490nm TX/1310nm RX 20km LC Transceiver Module

Description

The Transition Networks TN-SFP-BXD2 is an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) optical transceiver module operating at a wavelength of 1310nm. The 'BXD' designation strongly suggests that this is a Bi-Directional (BiDi) transceiver, which utilizes a single strand of fiber optic cable to transmit and receive data simultaneously by using different wavelengths for each direction. This specific model likely uses 1310nm for one direction (e.g., transmit) and a different wavelength (e.g., 1550nm) for the other direction, or vice-versa, depending on the paired transceiver. This transceiver is typically used with single-mode fiber (SMF) to achieve longer transmission distances compared to multi-mode fiber. The connector type is usually a simplex LC connector, as only one fiber strand is required. BiDi transceivers are valuable for network upgrades or expansions where fiber availability is limited, as they effectively double the capacity of existing fiber infrastructure without requiring new cable runs. The '2' in the SKU might indicate a specific revision or enhanced feature set compared to a previous model. As an SFP module, it is hot-pluggable, allowing for installation and replacement without disrupting network operations. The TN-SFP-BXD2 is designed to be compatible with network devices that support the SFP form factor, such as switches, routers, and media converters. It is crucial to pair this transceiver with a compatible BiDi transceiver that operates on the complementary wavelength to establish a functional link.
