16G BiDi SFP+ Optical Transceiver for Single-Fiber Fibre Channel and High-Speed Network Links

16G BiDi SFP+ Optical Transceiver Overview

C-LIGHT 16G BiDi SFP+ optical transceivers are designed to provide 16Gb/s bidirectional communication through a single strand of single-mode fiber. By assigning different wavelengths to the transmit and receive directions, the BiDi architecture enables two-way optical communication without requiring a dedicated fiber pair.

The product family is available in 10km and 40km transmission versions, with complementary 1270nm/1330nm and 1330nm/1270nm configurations. This wavelength-pair design allows the two ends of a BiDi link to operate together while making more efficient use of existing single-mode fiber infrastructure.

16G BiDi SFP+ Optical Transceiver Key Features

16Gb/s Bidirectional Transmission

The module provides up to 16Gb/s optical connectivity for high-speed Fibre Channel and compatible network applications.

Single-Fiber Communication

Both transmit and receive signals travel through one single-mode fiber, helping reduce the fiber resources required for a bidirectional connection.

10km and 40km Reach

The product portfolio includes 10km and 40km versions for different medium- and extended-distance optical links.

Matched Wavelength Pairs

Available configurations use 1270nm/1330nm or 1330nm/1270nm wavelength combinations to establish the two directions of a BiDi link.

Single-Mode Fiber

The 16G BiDi SFP+ is designed for SMF transmission, making it suitable for longer optical paths than typical multimode short-reach solutions.

SFP+ Form Factor

The compact SFP+ package allows the module to be installed in compatible high-density optical network equipment.

LC Optical Interface

The listed configurations use an LC connector for connection to compatible single-mode fiber infrastructure.

Commercial and Industrial Options

The available configurations support commercial and industrial case-temperature selections for different deployment environments.

16G BiDi SFP+ Optical Transceiver Applications

Fibre Channel Networks

The 16G BiDi SFP+ can be used in compatible Fibre Channel environments where high-speed optical communication and efficient fiber usage are required.

Storage Area Networks

Single-fiber bidirectional connectivity provides an option for SAN deployments where available fiber resources need to be used efficiently.

Data Center Connectivity

The 10km configuration can support optical links between compatible data center network devices and storage infrastructure.

Enterprise Network Links

Medium-distance single-mode connections can be established between enterprise network locations using the 10km BiDi configuration.

Extended Optical Links

The 40km version provides additional reach for connections between network facilities or storage infrastructure separated by longer fiber paths.

Fiber-Constrained Deployments

BiDi technology is particularly useful when only one fiber strand is available or when operators want to preserve spare fibers for future network expansion.

Why Choose C-LIGHT 16G BiDi SFP+ Optical Transceiver?

One Fiber for Two Directions

The defining advantage of the BiDi design is bidirectional communication over a single fiber, helping maximize the value of existing SMF infrastructure.

Two Reach Classes

10km and 40km variants provide a clear choice for different network distances without combining unrelated optical configurations into one model.

Complementary Optical Design

The 1270nm/1330nm and 1330nm/1270nm versions are designed as complementary modules for the two ends of a bidirectional link.

Storage and Network Flexibility

Support for Fibre Channel and IEEE 802.3 makes the product relevant to both storage-oriented and compatible high-speed networking environments.

Broad Equipment Compatibility

C-LIGHT states that its 16G BiDi SFP+ optical modules are compatible with switches from more than 100 brands.

Production Quality Control

C-LIGHT states that 100% of products undergo initial testing, final testing, and factory inspection before delivery.

16G BiDi SFP+ Optical Transceiver FAQ

Q1. What is a 16G BiDi SFP+ optical transceiver?

A 16G BiDi SFP+ optical transceiver is a pluggable module that supports bidirectional 16Gb/s communication through a single strand of single-mode fiber by using different wavelengths for transmission and reception.

Q2. What distances are available?

C-LIGHT provides 10km and 40km versions of the 16G BiDi SFP+ optical transceiver.

Q3. Which wavelength combinations are used?

The available configurations use 1270nm/1330nm and 1330nm/1270nm wavelength pairs. The corresponding complementary modules are used at the opposite ends of the link.

Q4. Does the module require two fiber strands?

No. The BiDi architecture is designed to transmit and receive through one single-mode fiber strand.

Q5. What fiber type does the 16G BiDi SFP+ use?

The listed 10km and 40km configurations use single-mode fiber.

Q6. Which connector is used?

The listed 16G BiDi SFP+ configurations use an LC optical connector.

Q7. Which protocols are supported?

According to the C-LIGHT product specification, the communication protocol complies with Fibre Channel and IEEE 802.3, the interface protocol follows SFF-8472, and the packaging follows SFP+ MSA.

Q8. Why use BiDi instead of a conventional duplex optical module?

BiDi technology allows two-way communication through one fiber strand, which can be advantageous when fiber availability is limited or when existing fiber resources need to be used more efficiently.
