Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module utilizes 100BASE-BX-U technology, which employs a single wavelength of light over single-mode fiber to achieve data transmission distances extending miles. The Fast Ethernet architecture supports network speeds up to 100Mbps, making it suitable for extending network segments beyond copper limitations.
The transceiver features a single LC simplex port that connects to standard single-mode fiber optic cabling. This configuration supports upstream communication in bidirectional fiber applications, where separate transceivers handle upstream and downstream traffic over a single fiber pair.
Key Product Advantages
This transceiver delivers extended reach connectivity while maintaining signal integrity over long distances. The single-mode fiber support enables transmission over miles without signal degradation, making it ideal for campus networks, building-to-building links, and other extended network segments.

FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
This transceiver supports single-mode fiber optic cabling. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light to transmit data over longer distances with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for network extensions between buildings or across campus environments where distance exceeds typical copper limitations.
What is the difference between 100BASE-BX-U and regular SFP transceivers?
The 100BASE-BX-U designation indicates this is an upstream transceiver designed for bidirectional fiber communication. In a 100BASE-BX network, you need paired transceivers: one upstream (100BASE-BX-U) and one downstream (100BASE-BX-D). This specific module handles the upstream direction over single-mode fiber using Fast Ethernet 100Mbps technology.
Is this transceiver compatible with my HP networking equipment?
Yes, this Axiom JD100A-AX transceiver is MSA compliant and designed for compatibility with HP networking equipment that supports 100BASE-BX-U SFP modules. MSA compliance ensures the transceiver meets mechanical, electrical, and thermal specifications for proper operation in compatible SFP slots on HP switches and routers.
What applications is this transceiver best suited for?
This transceiver is ideal for extending Fast Ethernet networks over single-mode fiber infrastructure. Common applications include building-to-building connections, campus network extensions, remote workgroup connectivity, and linking conference rooms or laboratories where fiber provides better signal integrity over distance than copper cabling.
