OE Solutions packages APD into Bi-directional SFP
Integrating APD into BIDI SFP package has been a long standing challenge for SFP manufacturers because of limited space for APD and the required circuitry. Combining packaging expertise and BIDI SFP experience, OE Solutions’ engineering team has achieved a major milestone in packaging APD into BIDI SFP form factor. This family of BIDI SFP with APD receiver enables the support of longer reach applications for Metro-WDM market. BIDI SFP’s have been mainly used in access market but this breakthrough will enable customers to take advantage of the BIDI’s inherent single fiber solution for Metro market.
In order to meet diverse customer requirements, OE Solutions’ BIDI SFP with APD is available for both GbE and OC-48/STM-16 signals; 120km reach for GbE and 80km reach for OC-48/STM-16. In addition, as do most of OE Solutions’transceivers, this new product line also satisfies industrial temperature requirement, i.e. -40 ~ 85 degC.
“We are excited with this new BIDI SFP solution which enables the use of single-fiber solution in metro applications, ” said John Kwak, Director of Business Development at OE Solutions. “Bi-directional single-fiber solutions are currently considered one of the most practical cost-effective solutions for easier fiber management and cost savings. This will pave the way for further penetration of BIDI SFP transceivers in both Access and Metro applications.”
