GAO Tek’s fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers have the following functions:

• Bi-Directional Communication: GAO’s fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers enable bidirectional communication over a single fiber. They transmit and receive data using different wavelengths, allowing for simultaneous upstream and downstream communication.
• Optical Signal Transmission: Our fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers convert electrical signals into optical signals using a laser diode. The optical signals are then transmitted over the fiber optic cable.
• Optical Signal Reception: GAO’s fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers include a photodiode that receives incoming optical signals from the fiber optic cable and converts them back into electrical signals for further processing.
• Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM): Our fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers utilize WDM technology, which enables the transmission and reception of different wavelengths over the same fiber. This allows for bidirectional communication without the need for separate fiber strands.
• Data Rate and Protocol Support: Our fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers are available in various data rates and support different protocols, such as Ethernet, Fiber Channel, and SONET/SDH. They can handle different transmission speeds and are compatible with specific network equipment and standards.

GAO Tek’s fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers are rugged, versatile and precision measurement instruments. They comply with applicable industry standards such as SFP MSA, IEEE 802.3 Standards, ITU-T G.652 and G.657 Recommendations, fiber channel standards, and RoHS Compliance.

GAO’s fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers have the following applications:

• Data Centers: Our fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers are used in data centers for high-speed networking applications, such as interconnecting switches, routers, and storage devices. They enable efficient bidirectional communication over a single fiber, optimizing fiber utilization and reducing cabling complexity.
• Telecommunications Networks: GAO’s fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers are utilized in telecommunications networks, including both service provider networks and enterprise networks. They are commonly used for long-haul and metro optical networks, providing high-speed, bidirectional transmission of data, voice, and video signals.
• Ethernet Networks: GAO’s fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers are compatible with Ethernet protocols and are used for Ethernet-based network connections. They can be deployed in various Ethernet applications, including 1000BASE-BX, 10GBASE-BX, or 25GBASE-BX connections, to support bidirectional data transmission over a single fiber.
• Fiber to the Home (FTTH): Our fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers are used in FTTH deployments, where they enable bidirectional communication between central offices or distribution points and customer premises equipment. They facilitate high-speed data transmission over fiber optic cables to deliver broadband internet services to residential and business users.
• Wireless Network Backhaul: Our fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers are employed in wireless network backhaul applications. They provide the optical link between wireless base stations and the core network, allowing for the transmission of high-capacity data between cellular towers and network infrastructure.

Our fiber optic SFP BIDI transceivers can be shipped overnight within the continental U.S. and Canada and can be shipped globally.
