Gigabit SFP with Simplex WDM Option

A large part of today's active networking products is already equipped with slots for modular optical transceivers. This brings the highest possible flexibility for the network configuration to the user. Because of the special construction the installation can be done even during operation (hot swap).

The new SFP-transceiver from MICROSENS allows a bidirectional optical transmission over one simplex single mode fibre. This is possible due to the use of two different wavelengths (WDM – Wavelength Division Multiplex) and the integration of a wavelength sensitive filter.

This transceiver is used in a pair-configuration and is working with the wavelengths 1310nm and 1490nm. The optical budget is 15 dB, which allows a distance of 10 km for point-to-point connections. The transceivers are Gigabit Ethernet conform according to the IEEE802.3ah® 1000Base-BX Standard.
