DIGITUS DN-81003-01 HP Aruba Compatible BiDi SFP 1000BASE-BX Single Fibre LC Simplex 1310/1550 nm 20 km DDM
DIGITUS DN-81003-01 — 1G BiDi Single-Fibre SFP, 20 km, HP / Aruba Coded
The DIGITUS DN-81003-01 is a Gigabit BiDi SFP transceiver coded for HP and HP Aruba switches: it transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm over one single-mode fibre through an LC simplex connector, up to 20 km, and it supports digital diagnostics (DDM). It lets an HP / Aruba link run on a single free strand. In practice, BiDi modules are the answer when a building link has only one free single-mode strand, or when you want to double the links on an existing pair. They are always bought as a matched pair: one end transmits 1310 nm, the other 1550 nm. Before you order, confirm the fibre is single-mode and note the length and the patch panels on the way.
