Singlemode BiDi SFP Transceivers

Westermo’s range of 1 Gbit/s singlemode SFPs with BiDi-functionality are suitable for short- and long-range applications that require high bandwidth. A BiDi transceiver enables data communication in both directions simultaneously over a single core optical fibre. Using the DDM functionality, which is fully integrated into WeOS, it is possible to monitor parameters such as temperature, TX/RX power and voltage, ensuring correct operation.

As industrial networks transmit more data, 1 Gbit/s fibre links can be used to link data-intensive sites across long distances. Setting up high bandwidth network backbones over long distances is now possible and BiDi transceivers can double the capacity by using different wavelengths for upstream and downstream communication over the same fibre link. The SFPs are tested and optimized for compatibility with the WeOS platform and are offered in multiple different variants, with indicative ranges from 20 km to 80 km. 

To meet the high demands of mission-critical applications, all SFP transceivers undergo thorough environmental testing to ensure they can perform under the harshest conditions. Additionally, their functionality is pushed to the limit to guarantee availability and reliability.

WeOS, the Westermo operating system, is designed to meet the toughest requirements, and full support for all offered transceivers is a crucial aspect. All features of WeOS are extensively tested and verified to be fully supported on any WeOS device with a Westermo transceiver installed.
