About This Part
The Source SPL-43-GB-BX-CDFM is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Bi-Directional (BIDI) optical transceiver designed for efficient data transmission over single-strand fiber optic cables. This module, manufactured by Source, operates at a data rate of 1.25 Gigabits per second (Gbps), making it ideal for Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its BIDI capability is a critical feature, utilizing a single fiber strand for both transmitting and receiving data, which significantly reduces fiber infrastructure requirements. Specifically, the transceiver transmits at a wavelength of 1490nm and receives at 1310nm, enabling a robust communication link over distances up to 10 kilometers. Adhering to industry-standard SFP form factors, the SPL-43-GB-BX-CDFM ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, providing a reliable and compact solution for optical connectivity. This Source SFP BIDI transceiver is typically deployed in diverse network environments requiring cost-effective and space-efficient optical links. It is commonly installed in Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, and media converters within telecom access networks, enterprise data centers, and campus backbones. Its primary use cases include extending network reach for internet service providers (ISPs) delivering Fiber-to-the-Home/Building (FTTH/FTTB) services, connecting remote offices, or establishing inter-cabinet links within a data center where fiber availability is limited. By enabling bi-directional communication over a single fiber, the Part Number SPL-43-GB-BX-CDFM helps network architects and operators reduce cabling complexity and costs, making it an excellent choice for upgrading existing multi-fiber infrastructure to single-fiber or for new deployments where fiber conservation is paramount. It solves the challenge of maximizing bandwidth utilization while minimizing physical infrastructure footprint.
