Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 1000Base-BX SFP transceiver used for?
A 1000Base-BX SFP transceiver is used for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber optic cables. It's ideal for long-distance network links in data centers, campuses, and telecommunications networks where distances exceed standard multimode fiber capabilities.
Is the AddOn GLC-BX-U-I-AO compatible with Cisco equipment?
Yes, the AddOn GLC-BX-U-I-AO is 100% Cisco-compatible and functions as a direct replacement for the Cisco GLC-BX-U module. It meets all Cisco specifications for optical performance and physical form factor.
What does bidirectional wavelength mean in SFP transceivers?
Bidirectional operation means this SFP transceiver uses different wavelengths for transmit (1310nm) and receive (1490nm) signals over a single fiber strand. This allows full-duplex communication on one fiber pair, reducing cabling requirements compared to standard transceivers.
Can this transceiver operate in extreme temperatures?
Yes, the AddOn GLC-BX-U-I-AO operates reliably from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for outdoor installations, industrial environments, and data centers with variable climate control.
