1.25G BiDi SFP Module, Gigabit SC SMF 20km 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 SC 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 SC 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 1.25G SFP Transceiver supports DDM monitoring for optical diagnostics and is suitable for switches, routers, fiber media converters, network firewalls, fiber optic network cards, servers, storage systems, ODF cabling, telecom rooms, security networks, campus networks, and building-to-building Ethernet links.

Compared with LC BiDi SFP modules, this SC version is especially useful for projects where the existing fiber distribution system uses SC connectors, such as optical distribution frames, weak-current cabinets, access equipment, and traditional telecom fiber cabling.

Luleey provides compatibility options for major switch and router platforms, helping users deploy stable 1G single-fiber links across different network environments.

Specifications

Why Choose a 1.25G BiDi SFP Module?

A 1.25G BiDi SFP Module is useful when a network needs Gigabit fiber transmission but only one fiber core is available. Instead of using two separate fibers for transmit and receive, BiDi SFP modules use two different wavelengths over the same fiber.

This helps users:

• Save fiber core resources
• Upgrade existing single-fiber links
• Reduce cabling cost
• Simplify fiber deployment
• Extend Gigabit Ethernet over long distances
• Build stable point-to-point fiber connections

For building-to-building links, campus networks, security systems, ODF systems, telecom rooms, and media converter deployment, the Luleey Single Fiber SFP Module provides a practical and cost-effective Gigabit optical solution.

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.

SC BiDi SFP vs LC BiDi SFP

Both SC and LC BiDi SFP modules can support single-fiber Gigabit transmission, but they are used in different cabling environments.

Choose the SC version when your existing fiber cabling, patch panel, or optical distribution frame uses SC connectors.

Choose the LC version when your equipment or patching system is based on LC interfaces.

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.

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 SC Module used for?

It is used for Gigabit Ethernet fiber links, switches, routers, media converters, network firewalls, ODF systems, servers, storage systems, and building-to-building fiber connections.

Does this module use one fiber or two fibers?

It uses one single mode fiber core through an SC 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?

The main distance option is up to 20km, with selected variants also available for shorter or longer links such as 5km and 40km.

Does it support DDM?

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

What is the difference between SC and LC BiDi SFP modules?

SC BiDi SFP modules are often used with ODF systems, media converters, telecom rooms, and access networks. LC BiDi SFP modules are more common in high-density switches and compact optical equipment.

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