1000BASE-BX-U SFP BiDi 1490nm-TX/1550nm-RX 80km DOM Simplex LC/UPC SMF Optical Transceiver Module

The CT-SFP-BX-80U and CT-SFP-BX-80D are advanced bi-directional (BIDI) SFP optical transceivers designed for 1.25Gbps data transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) distances of up to 80 kilometers. The CT-SFP-BX-80U employs a 1490nm DFB laser and a 1550nm PIN photodetector, while the CT-SFP-BX-80D uses a 1550nm DFB laser and a 1490nm PIN photodetector. Packaged in a compact SFP form factor with LC connectors, these modules are ideal for Ethernet, Telecom, and Fiber Channel applications. Fully compliant with IEC-60825 laser safety standards and RoHS regulations, they deliver reliable performance in demanding environments.

Key features include operation within a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C for industrial grade, 0°C to +70°C for commercial grade) and compatibility with a +3.3V power supply. The modules boast excellent optical performance, including high extinction ratios, precise wavelength control (1490nm/1550nm), and low EMI. Robust electrical characteristics such as LVPECL-compatible interfaces and ESD protection make these transceivers suitable for long-distance and high-speed optical communication networks.

These BiDi SFP modules are optimized for Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and telecom applications where single-fiber operation up to 80 km is required. Operating from a single +3.3 V supply, they feature LVPECL-compatible I/O, low EMI design, and strong ESD protection. The devices meet IEC-60825 laser safety and RoHS compliance standards.
