Reliable and Efficient Bi-Directional Optical Transceivers for Medium-Range Fiber Networks
The NETLINK SFP Module 1.25G 20KM 1310+1490 SC Single Mode (Pair) is a high-performance, compact optical transceiver solution that enables efficient and cost-effective bi-directional data transmission over a single fiber. Designed to operate over single-mode fiber (SMF) with a reach of up to 20 kilometers, this SFP module pair is ideal for service providers, data centers, enterprise networks, and FTTH applications that require stable and seamless communication over medium distances.
Using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, the pair ensures full-duplex communication over a single fiber strand—minimizing fiber usage, reducing deployment costs, and simplifying cable management.
Bi-Directional WDM over Single Fiber
This NETLINK SFP module pair takes advantage of bi-directional WDM technology, allowing two-way communication on a single optical fiber. One module transmits at 1310nm and receives at 1490nm, while the other transmits at 1490nm and receives at 1310nm. This optical wavelength pairing enables the modules to transmit and receive data simultaneously, making them ideal for areas with limited fiber availability or where maximizing infrastructure efficiency is crucial.
The result is a practical and scalable solution for increasing bandwidth without additional fiber investment.
1.25Gbps Gigabit Speed
Supporting a data rate of 1.25Gbps, the modules are perfectly suited for Gigabit Ethernet applications and are fully compatible with network switches, routers, and media converters. Whether used in backbone links or access networks, these transceivers ensure consistent performance, low latency, and reliable connectivity.
The high-speed capability makes them ideal for handling large volumes of data, streaming, voice, and other time-sensitive services.
SC Connector – Simple and Secure
Featuring a durable SC (Subscriber Connector) interface, these SFP modules provide a stable and easy-to-use connection with low insertion loss and excellent return loss performance. The SC connector is ideal for telecom and network environments, offering a secure push-pull connection suitable for long-distance fiber applications.
Its rugged design ensures long-term durability, even in demanding environments.
Hot-Pluggable and MSA-Compliant
The NETLINK SFP modules are hot-pluggable, allowing for quick installation or replacement without shutting down the system—minimizing network disruption and supporting fast maintenance or upgrades. They also conform to the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), ensuring seamless compatibility with a broad range of networking equipment from various brands.
This makes deployment easy and integration smooth across both new and existing network infrastructures.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
The module supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), giving network administrators access to real-time operating data including:
Optical transmit and receive power
Internal temperature
Laser bias current
Transceiver supply voltage
This allows proactive troubleshooting, performance tracking, and predictive maintenance, ensuring optimal network reliability.
Energy Efficient and Robust Design
Built for durability, each module is encased in a metal housing that provides EMI shielding and effective heat dissipation. Designed to function in temperature ranges from -10°C to +70°C, it’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Additionally, the transceiver is low-power consuming, making it suitable for energy-conscious network infrastructures.
