1.25G BiDi SFP Optical Transceiver for Single-Fiber Gigabit Ethernet and Long-Distance Networks

1.25G BiDi SFP Optical Transceiver Overview

C-LIGHT 1.25G BiDi SFP optical transceivers are designed for bidirectional Gigabit-class communication over a single optical fiber. By assigning different wavelengths to the transmit and receive paths, BiDi technology enables two-way data transmission while helping reduce the amount of fiber required for network connectivity.

The product family supports data rates up to 1.25Gbps and offers a wide range of transmission distances from 550m to 160km. Different configurations use complementary wavelength pairs, including 1490nm/1550nm and 1550nm/1490nm, allowing matched modules to be deployed at opposite ends of a single-fiber link.
