• IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-BX compliance ensures interoperability with standards-based Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure over single-mode fibre using bidirectional wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM)
• BiDi architecture integrates 1310nm DFB laser transmitter and 1550nm PIN photodiode receiver into a single simplex LC BOSA, enabling full-duplex communication over one fibre strand instead of two
• Industrial temperature qualification from -40 to 85°C supports deployment in outdoor cabinets, roadside equipment, transportation networks, and factory automation environments where commercial-grade optics fail
• Differential LVPECL electrical interface and hot-pluggable SFP MSA form factor ensure seamless insertion into any MSA-compliant Gigabit Ethernet SFP cage without system downtime
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring via SFF-8472 MSA exposes TX power, RX power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage through I2C interface for proactive link health monitoring
• Wavelength pairing (1310nm TX / 1550nm RX) requires deployment with complementary Type B transceiver (1550nm TX / 1310nm RX) to establish bidirectional link, cannot be paired with identical units
• Maximum power consumption 1W, single 3.3V supply with TTL signal detect indicator simplifies power budgeting in dense multi-port industrial switch deployments
