Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates on 100Base-BX technology, delivering Fast Ethernet speeds up to 100 Mbps over single-mode fiber optic cabling. It utilizes a single LC connector port for duplex fiber connections, with dedicated transmit and receive channels optimized for long-distance transmission. The module is fully compliant with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of Allied Telesis switch models and other compatible networking equipment.
Optical performance is characterized by a 1550nm downstream transmit wavelength and a 1310nm upstream receive wavelength, enabling efficient bidirectional data flow over a single fiber strand. This wavelength-division multiplexing approach reduces fiber count and deployment costs while maintaining signal integrity across its 15-kilometer reach. The transceiver supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time performance tracking, though specific monitoring features depend on the host switch's implementation.
