• BiDi WDM wavelength-division multiplexing transmits 1270nm and receives 1330nm simultaneously on a single fibre strand, reducing fibre infrastructure requirements by 50 percent compared to duplex transceivers
• IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-ER compliance guarantees interoperability with standards-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment and confirms the electrical and optical performance parameters required for extended-reach single-mode applications
• DFB laser transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver integrated into a simplex LC interface deliver reliable 10 Gbps full-duplex transmission with low power consumption under 1.2W
• DDM/DOM digital diagnostics allow real-time access to transmit power, receive power, temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current via the I2C interface per SFF-8472, enabling proactive fault detection and simplified troubleshooting
• Hot-swappable design permits live insertion and removal from SFP+ ports without powering down the host platform, supporting zero-downtime maintenance and field upgrades
• Matched-pair deployment requirement ensures the uplink module (Tx 1270nm / Rx 1330nm) is paired with the complementary downlink variant (Tx 1330nm / Rx 1270nm) at the far end for correct WDM operation
• Intended for metro interconnects, campus backbone links, and data centre site-to-site connectivity where fibre strand availability is constrained and distances reach up to 40km over OS2 single-mode fibre
