Introduction

In this article we will talk about the 100BASE-BX Ethernet standard and its optical transceivers and which brands these are compatible with and their basic solutions, all this just to give you more understanding about 100BASE-BX technology. You can also check the compatibility Cozlink transceivers to get compatible and cost-effective products.

What is the 100BASE-BX technology?

100BASE-BX is a version of Fast Ethernet over a single strand of optical fiber (unlike 100BASE-FX, which uses a pair of fibers). Single-mode fiber is used, along with a special multiplexer which splits the signal into transmit and receive wavelengths; the two wavelengths used for transmit and receive are 1310 nm and 1550 nm. The terminals on each side of the fiber are not equal, as the one transmitting "downstream" (from the center of the network to the outside) uses the 1550 nm wavelength, and the one transmitting "upstream" uses the 1310 nm wavelength. Distances can be 10, 20 or 40 km.

100BASE-BX compatible brands:

Cozlink products and services: a convenient shopping platform, custom Logo, packaging, etc.

What is difference between 100BASE-FX & 100BASE-LX and 100BASE-BX?

100BASE-FX: SFP operates on ordinary multi-mode fiber optic link spans of up to 2km in length.

100BASE-LX: SFP operates on ordinary single-mode fiber optic link spans of up to 10km in length.

100BASE-BX: SFP operates on ordinary single-mode SINGLE STRAND fiber optic link spans of up to 10km in length. A pair of a 100BASE-BX-D and a 100BASE-BX-U SFP is needed for the single strand deployment.

Conclusion

Due to the different brand is only applicable to their own devices, makes third-party compatible optical transceiver is very important, it ensures that two different brands of equipment are compatible with each other. Cozlink transceiver has high performance; it can fully compatible with different brands, and Cozlink price is much less than the original manufacturer, so it is a perfect third-party compatible optical transceiver for 100BASE-BX Ethernet standard solution. Apart from transceivers, Cozlink also provides all kinds of patch cords, pigtails, high speed cables for your choice.
