Core Product Features
1.Boost Existing Fiber Utilization Using BiDi SFP
Standard dual-fiber optics rely on two cores for two-way communication. Our BiDi SFP leverages WDM tech to achieve bidirectional transmission over a single fiber. It optimizes idle fiber resource utilization, raises fiber operational efficiency, and avoids extra cable deployment during network expansion.
2. Double Your Network Capacity
Powered by single-strand bidirectional transmission technology, our premium BiDi SFP Module instantly doubles your network link capacity with no extra fiber cabling required.
Delivering a budget-friendly, high-performance bandwidth expansion solution, it perfectly caters to enterprise network upgrades and FTTx access network optimization projects.
3. Stable 1G Connectivity for High-Availability Data Centers
Even as data centers roll out 100G/400G networks, reliable 1G base infrastructure keeps daily operations running smoothly. Our enterprise 1G BiDi SFP modules deliver consistent low-latency performance. Ideal for OOB management and real-time monitoring, they maintain stable control channels fully separated from fluctuating production traffic.
4. Rigorous Host Device Testing for Full Cross-Brand Interoperability
Each BiDi SFP transceiver undergoes full interoperability testing on Cisco, Huawei, H3C and mainstream network equipment. Real-environment checks cover link handshake, DDM data accuracy and hot-swap performance to deliver flawless compatibility and avoid on-site deployment failures.
5.Comprehensive Factory Testing Delivers Consistent Stable Performance
Each BiDi SFP Module pass complete factory performance tests covering optical indicators, DDM monitoring and temperature adaptability. Layered quality checks guarantee reliable, stable long-run operation and reduce on-site troubleshooting costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is HYTOPTODEVICE GLC-BX-D 100% compatible with original Cisco switches?
A: Yes. All modules pass real Cisco hardware testing with verified compatibility videos available. No firmware changes or manual configuration required, fully plug-and-play.
Q2: What wavelength and transmission distance does GLC-BX-D support?
A: It features 1490nm TX / 1310nm RX wavelength, supporting up to 10km stable transmission over standard single-mode fiber (SMF).
Q3: What fiber type should I use for GLC-BX-D optical module?
A: It only supports single-mode fiber (OS1/OS2 SMF). Multimode fiber cannot reach standard transmission distance and will cause unstable links.
Q4: Does GLC-BX-D need firmware upgrade when installed on Cisco devices?
A: No firmware changes or upgrades needed. Preloaded standard Cisco EEPROM ensures zero-error recognition.
Q5: What paired module is required for GLC-BX-D single-fiber communication?
A: It must be paired with GLC-BX-U (1310nm TX/1490nm RX) to complete bidirectional single-fiber transmission.
Q6: Can this GLC-BX-D module work with non-Cisco mainstream brand switches?
A: Yes. It is 100% compatible with 150+ mainstream network brands including HPE, Juniper, MikroTik, Huawei and more, with real-device test verification.
Q7: What are the advantages of choosing HYTOPTODEVICE GLC-BX-D over Cisco OEM modules?
A: Same performance and full compatibility, more cost-effective pricing, saves brand premium for your project, with professional test video proof and reliable factory support.
Q8: Does this GLC-BX-D transceiver support DDM digital monitoring?
A: Yes, standard DDM function is supported for real-time optical power and temperature monitoring to ensure link stability.
Q9: Can I get testing videos before placing bulk orders?
A: Absolutely. We provide official compatibility testing video proof upon request to eliminate all compatibility concerns.
Q10: Is hot-swap supported for GLC-BX-D during device operation?
A: Yes, HYTOPTODEVICE's standard SFP hot-plug design supports safe hot swapping without shutting down running network devices.
