The difference between single and dual fiber optical transceiver
2017-08-31
The are single and dual xfp transceiver. How do we choose, and what are their differences and advantages? Let’s learn about this!
Single fiber module also called WDM module. It uses WDM technology to realize the bidirectional transmission of optical signals on one optical fiber. BIDI module only has 1 port, wave filtering through the filter of module, and finished the transmitting of 1310nm optical signal and receiving of 1550nm optical signal, or opposite. Therefore the module must be used in pairs.
Common wavelength of BIDI optical module
SFP: TX1310/RX1550nm; TX1550/RX1310nm; TX1490/RX1550nm; TX1550/RX1490nm; TX1310nm/Rx1490nm; TX1490nm/Rx1310nm
10G SFP+: TX1270/RX1330nm; TX1330/RX1270nm
Dual fiber module has two ports, TX is transmitting port, RX is receiving port. Both transmitting and receiving needs one optical fiber.
Common wavelength of dual fiber optical module
SFP: 850nm; 1310nm; 1550nm
10G SFP+: 850nm; 1310nm; 1550nm
The advantages of BIDI module: BIDI optical module is relatively expensive, but save fiber resources, only need one fiber. It is a better choice for users with insufficient fiber resources.
The advantages of dual fiber module: The both ends module don’t need to be used in pairs, any 2 can be connected. It’s cheaper than the BIDI optical module. But needs two fibers, can choose the dual fiber module if the optical fiber resources are sufficient.
How single fiber modules to save fiber resources? You will know from below picture.
For example: Dual fiber module is $6/pcs, single fiber module is $10/pcs, patch cord is $0.15/pcs.
Which do you think is more economical? I believe you have the answer in mind!

012019-10With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

012019-101. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

012019-10AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

012019-10Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
