CSFP BiDi 1GE MR 1550nm/1310nm 20km 14dB LC

The SO-CSFP-1000BASE-BX20D-53-O2 is a CSFP (Compact SFP) transceiver where both ports are bi-directional, i.e. providing double capacity as compared to normal BiDi transceivers where one port is not used. This requires that the host equipment support CSFP transceivers.

Each port operates directly on a single-fiber without the need for a separate optical filter. Each transceiver function uses a 1550nm transmitter and a receiver operating at 1310nm. The solution requires that the far end host equipment uses bi-directional SFP’s that transmit on a 1310nm wavelength and a receiver that accepts a 1550nm wavelength.

The transceiver supports a bit rate range between 100 Mbps and 1.25 Gbps, e.g. 1G Fiberchannel (1G FC) 100M Ethernet (FE) and 1G Ethernet (GbE) services, having an optical performance that provides a bridgeable distance of up to 20km.
