1.25G BiDi SFP Module, Gigabit LC SMF 10km DDM Transceiver Pair

Product Overview

The Luleey 1.25G BiDi SFP Module is designed for Gigabit Ethernet transmission over single mode single fiber. It uses BiDi wavelength division technology to transmit and receive optical signals through one LC simplex fiber connection, helping network engineers reduce fiber core usage while maintaining stable 1.25Gbps optical performance.

Unlike standard dual-fiber SFP modules that require two fiber cores, this Gigabit SFP LC Module uses a 1310nm/1550nm wavelength pair over one single mode fiber. It is supplied as a matched pair, making it suitable for point-to-point Gigabit fiber links where fiber resources are limited.

This 10km SFP Module is suitable for enterprise networks, campus networks, office buildings, security systems, IP camera networks, fiber media converters, network firewalls, routers, switches, and short-to-medium distance building-to-building fiber links.

Compared with the 20km version, the 10km version is better for shorter fiber routes where a lower optical budget is enough. It is a cost-effective choice for users who do not need the longer reach of a 20km BiDi SFP pair.

Specifications

Why Choose a 10km 1.25G BiDi SFP Module?

A 10km 1.25G BiDi SFP Module is useful when a network needs Gigabit fiber transmission over one single mode fiber core, but the actual link distance does not require a 20km optical budget.

This helps users:

• Save fiber core resources
• Reduce cabling cost
• Extend Gigabit Ethernet beyond copper cable limits
• Build simple point-to-point single-fiber links
• Avoid overpaying for longer-distance modules
• Deploy stable 1G links in buildings, campuses, and security networks

For most short-to-medium distance enterprise, campus, and security projects, the Luleey 10km Single Fiber SFP Module is a practical and cost-effective choice.

10km vs 20km BiDi SFP Module

Both 10km and 20km versions support 1.25G single-fiber transmission, but they are designed for different link budgets.

Choose the 10km SFP Module when your fiber route is within 10km and the link loss is not high.

Choose the 20km version when the fiber route is longer or when the network design requires more optical budget margin.

How BiDi SFP Transmission Works

BiDi means bidirectional transmission. A BiDi SFP module transmits and receives optical signals over one fiber core by using two different wavelengths.

A typical 1.25G BiDi pair works like this:

| Side | Transmit Wavelength | Receive Wavelength |
|—|—|
| Side A | 1310nm | 1550nm |
| Side B | 1550nm | 1310nm |

Because of this wavelength pairing, BiDi SFP modules must be used in matched pairs. Two modules with the same wavelength direction will not create a normal link.

1.25G BiDi SFP vs Standard Dual-Fiber SFP

| Module Type | Fiber Usage | Best For |
|—|—|
| Standard Dual-Fiber SFP | Uses two fiber cores | Normal Gigabit fiber links with enough fiber resources |
| 1.25G BiDi SFP Module | Uses one fiber core | Single fiber links and fiber-saving deployments |

Choose a BiDi SFP module when only one fiber core is available or when you want to reduce fiber usage.

Choose a standard dual-fiber SFP module when your fiber infrastructure already provides two available fiber cores.

Compatibility Notes

Luleey can provide compatible coding for different switch, router, firewall, and media converter platforms. Before ordering, please confirm the device brand and model to ensure correct recognition and stable operation.

Common compatibility options include Cisco, Huawei, MikroTik, Ubiquiti, ZTE, HPE-Aruba, Juniper, Intel, H3C, TP-Link, Arista, Brocade, Extreme, Mellanox, and General coding.

Important Pairing Notes

This 1.25G SFP Transceiver should be used with the correct opposite wavelength module. A 1310nm TX / 1550nm RX module should be paired with a 1550nm TX / 1310nm RX module.

Before deployment, confirm:

• The fiber type is single mode
• The connector type is LC
• The link distance is within 10km
• The two modules are matched A/B wavelength pairs
• The host device supports 1G SFP modules
• The compatibility coding matches the switch or router brand
• DDM monitoring is required or supported by the host device

FAQ

What is a 1.25G BiDi SFP Module?

A 1.25G BiDi SFP Module is a Gigabit optical transceiver that transmits and receives data over one single mode fiber core using two different wavelengths.

What is this Gigabit SFP LC Module used for?

It is used for Gigabit Ethernet fiber links, switches, routers, media converters, network firewalls, fiber optic network cards, security networks, and building-to-building fiber connections.

Does this module use one fiber or two fibers?

It uses one single mode fiber core through an LC simplex connector.

Does this product come as a pair?

Yes. This product is supplied as a matched BiDi transceiver pair.

What wavelengths does this module use?

It uses a 1310nm / 1550nm wavelength pair. The opposite side must use the reversed wavelength direction.

What is the transmission distance?

This version supports up to 10km transmission over suitable single mode fiber.

What is the difference between the 10km and 20km versions?

The 10km version is suitable for shorter fiber routes and cost-sensitive projects. The 20km version provides more optical budget for longer links.

Does it support DDM?

Yes. DDM allows monitoring of optical power, temperature, voltage, and laser status when supported by the host device.

Is it compatible with Cisco, Huawei, MikroTik or Ubiquiti?

Luleey can provide compatible coding for Cisco, Huawei, MikroTik, Ubiquiti, ZTE, HPE-Aruba, Juniper, Intel, TP-Link, H3C, and other platforms.

Can I use it with multimode fiber?

No. This module is designed for single mode fiber.

Can I use two same-side BiDi modules together?

No. BiDi modules need matched A/B wavelength pairs. Two modules with the same TX/RX direction will not work correctly.
