Description

The FN-TRAN-SFP+BD33-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Fortinet FN-TRAN-SFP+BD33. This BiDi transceiver provides plug-and-play compatibility with Fortinet systems featuring SFP+ slots. - IEEE 802.3ae compliance ensures standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet interoperability across vendor platforms - SFP+ form factor with BiDi technology using 1330nm TX and 1270nm RX wavelengths over single-mode fibre - Simplex LC connector delivers 30km reach over a single fibre strand, reducing cabling infrastructure - Digital optical monitoring (DOM) support enables real-time parameter tracking including temperature, voltage, and optical power levels - Industrial temperature range from -5°C to 85°C for operation in extended environmental conditions - Must be paired with complementary wavelength transceiver FN-TRAN-SFP+BD27 (1270nm TX/1330nm RX) for bidirectional communication

Features

• BiDi WDM architecture transmits and receives on a single fibre strand using distinct wavelengths, halving fibre infrastructure requirements and reducing deployment cost in point-to-point links
• Hot-swappable SFP+ footprint allows field installation and replacement without system power-down, minimizing service interruption during maintenance or upgrades
• SFF-8472 digital diagnostics interface exposes real-time transceiver telemetry including optical transmit power, received signal strength, laser bias current, supply voltage, and junction temperature for proactive link management
• Industrial-grade temperature tolerance from -5°C to 85°C suits deployment in non-climate-controlled environments including outdoor cabinets, industrial facilities, and remote installations
• IEEE 802.3ae and SFP+ MSA compliance guarantees electrical and optical interoperability with standards-compliant host equipment, ensuring reliable initialization and data transport
• Complementary wavelength pairing with FN-TRAN-SFP+BD27 enables full-duplex 10 Gigabit Ethernet over OS2 single-mode fibre at spans up to 30km, suitable for metro, campus, and data centre interconnects
• Single 3.3V power supply and low power dissipation simplify system power budgeting and thermal management in dense SFP+ port environments

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Fortinet FN-TRAN-SFP+BD33?
A: Yes. This transceiver is a direct replacement for the Fortinet FN-TRAN-SFP+BD33. It shares the same SFP+ form factor, IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet compliance, 1330nm TX/1270nm RX wavelengths, and 30km reach over single-mode fibre. The module is plug-and-play compatible with Fortinet systems and initializes identically to the OEM part.

Q: Which Fortinet platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver is compatible with any Fortinet system featuring SFP+ or SFP/SFP+ slots that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation. Typical deployments include Fortinet network switches, routers, firewalls, security gateways, and appliances with 10GE SFP+ interfaces. Confirm your platform supports BiDi transceivers and operates at 10G speeds.

Q: Why must this be paired with the FN-TRAN-SFP+BD27, and what happens if I use two FN-TRAN-SFP+BD33 units?
A: BiDi transceivers use wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) with asymmetric wavelengths. The FN-TRAN-SFP+BD33 transmits at 1330nm and receives at 1270nm. Its counterpart, the FN-TRAN-SFP+BD27, transmits at 1270nm and receives at 1330nm. Pairing two identical units results in no link because both ends transmit and receive on the same wavelengths, causing signal collision and receiver incompatibility. Always deploy complementary wavelength pairs for bidirectional communication.

Q: What fibre type and grade are required to achieve the full 30km reach?
A: This transceiver requires OS2 single-mode fibre (SMF) with 9/125 micron core/cladding diameter to achieve the rated 30km reach. Actual distance depends on fibre quality, insertion loss at connectors, splice loss, and total link budget. Clean, low-loss connectors and minimal splice points are critical. Multimode fibre is not supported.

Q: Can I access DOM data on this transceiver, and what parameters are available?
A: Yes. This module implements SFF-8472 digital diagnostics, accessible via the two-wire serial interface on compatible host systems. Real-time monitoring parameters include optical transmit power (TX), received optical power (RX), laser bias current, transceiver supply voltage, and internal temperature. Use vendor-specific CLI commands or network management software to retrieve DOM data for link health assessment and troubleshooting.
