FAQ
What is 1000Base-BiDi technology?
1000Base-BiDi (Bidirectional) is a Gigabit Ethernet standard that allows data transmission and reception on a single strand of fiber optic cable using different wavelengths. This technology reduces the required fiber count by half compared to traditional dual-fiber setups, lowering infrastructure costs while maintaining 1 Gbps performance over single-mode fiber.
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
The Allied Telesis AT-SPBD20LC/I-13 supports single-mode optical fiber. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission with a small core diameter, minimizing signal attenuation and dispersion. It is ideal for applications requiring links over several kilometers, such as campus networks, metro Ethernet, and data center interconnects.
Is this SFP module hot-swappable?
Yes, this SFP transceiver is hot-swappable. You can insert or remove the module from a compatible switch, router, or media converter without powering down the equipment. This feature supports live maintenance, upgrades, and replacements, reducing network downtime and improving operational flexibility in dynamic networking environments.
What does MSA compliant mean?
MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant indicates that the SFP transceiver meets industry-standard specifications for form factor, electrical interface, and optical performance. This ensures broad compatibility with networking equipment from various manufacturers that adhere to the MSA, allowing for reliable interoperability and reducing vendor lock-in for fiber optic modules.
