Know before you buy
Bi-directional, or BiDi, technology allows you to send and receive data over a single strand of fiber optic cable instead of two. This effectively doubles the capacity of your existing fiber infrastructure and simplifies cable management.
Yes, this module is specifically engineered and tested to meet Juniper’s performance standards. It is designed to be recognized by your Juniper equipment just like an original manufacturer part, ensuring seamless integration.
Yes, this unit is designed for use with single-mode fiber (SMF) cabling. It utilizes a Simplex LC connector, which is the standard interface for this type of BiDi SFP module.
Absolutely. While the transceiver is rated for a maximum distance of 40 kilometers, it will function perfectly fine over shorter distances. If you are connecting over very short spans, you may need an optical attenuator to prevent signal saturation.
MSA, or Multi-Source Agreement, is an industry standard that ensures the transceiver's physical form factor and electrical interface are compatible with a wide range of networking hardware. Being MSA compliant means this module follows the universal design specifications for SFP transceivers.
First, ensure the fiber cable is clean and securely seated in the Simplex LC port. If the issue persists, verify that you are using a matching BiDi transceiver at the other end of the link, as BiDi modules must be paired with the correct corresponding wavelengths (Tx 1310nm/Rx 1550nm).
