About This Part
The Alcatel 1AB393080009 is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver designed for robust enterprise and carrier-grade network applications. This module, part of Alcatel's extensive line of optical networking components, facilitates 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE) connectivity. Specifically, it operates as a 1000BASE-BX40-U (Upstream) module, employing bi-directional communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber (SMF) to achieve a link distance of up to 40 kilometers. The "U" designation signifies its role as the upstream component in a paired BX link, typically transmitting at a shorter wavelength (e.g., 1310nm) and receiving at a longer wavelength (e.g., 1490nm or 1550nm), while its downstream counterpart (BX40-D) performs the inverse. While primarily a 1000BASE module, its compatibility with STM-4 (Synchronous Transport Module level 4) networks underscores its versatility in legacy and converged infrastructures, offering a data rate of 622.08 Mbit/s for STM-4 applications or 1.25 Gbps for 1000BASE-X. This compact, hot-pluggable SFP form factor ensures ease of installation and maintenance in compatible network equipment. The Part Number 1AB393080009 is critical for extending network reach in metropolitan area networks (MANs), campus environments, and fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) deployments where single-fiber bi-directional communication is advantageous for optimizing fiber infrastructure. It is commonly installed in Alcatel-Lucent switches, routers, and optical line terminals (OLTs) or optical network units (ONUs) that support SFP interfaces. Telecommunications operators, internet service providers (ISPs), and large enterprises frequently deploy this type of transceiver to provide high-speed data links to remote sites, connect distribution points, or backhaul traffic from access networks. By utilizing a single fiber strand, it significantly reduces fiber plant costs and simplifies cable management, making it an ideal solution for upgrading existing fiber infrastructure without laying new cables. This module effectively solves the challenge of limited fiber availability while delivering reliable 1 Gigabit Ethernet performance over substantial distances, often replacing older, less efficient multi-fiber solutions.
