With the deployment of 5G network, more and more optical modules are needed for long-distance transmission. In order to meet the market demand and improve the product line, ETU-Link has a full range of bidi single fiber optical module products. The main packaging forms are SFP / SFP+ / XFP and SFP28. This blog will introduce 10G bidi SFP+ optical module according to the increasing market demand.

10G BIDI SFP+ optical module

The package form of 10G BIDI SFP+ optical module is SFP+, with transmission rate of 10G and LC simplex interface. The transmission distance can be up to 80km when used with single-mode fiber. Bidi refers to single fiber bidirectional, which uses WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technology to transmit and receive different central wavelengths in two directions, so as to realize a fiber bidirectional optical signal transmission.

Features and advantages of BIDI optical module:

1. Generally, the optical module has two ports, TX transmitting port and Rx receiving port, while the bidi optical module has only one port. The bidi optical module can transmit and receive optical signals at the same time. Therefore, bidi optical modules must be used in pairs.

2. The biggest advantage of bidi optical module is to save optical fiber resources and integrate two transmission optical fibers. The bidi optical module reduces the cost of the fiber cabling infrastructure and the number of ports on the fiber patch panel, as well as the tray space dedicated to fiber management.

How does a single fiber optical module save fiber resources? The picture below can tell you clearly.

For example: dual fiber modules is 120RMB/pcs, single fiber modules is 180RMB/pcs, patch cord is 1RMB/meter

Looking at this picture, which one is more cost-effective? Single choice questions, you know!

In general, the effect of bidi single fiber optical module and double fiber optical module is the same. But in the generic cabling, bidi optical module can not only save optical fiber resources, but also greatly reduce the cost of layout. ETU-Link is a company dedicated to the research and development of optical communication products. In order to meet the needs of the market, ETU-Link continues to develop and innovate the bidi SFP+ optical module, which has won the praise and feedback of many customers.
