Barox AC-SFP-BIA-FXME - Faseroptik - 100 Mbit/s - SFP - 2000 m - 1310 nm - 1550 nm

Network engineers extending Fast Ethernet links across campus backbones or industrial sites rely on the Barox AC-SFP-BIA-FXME to bridge distances up to 2 km over a single strand of single-mode fiber. This hot-swappable SFP module delivers 100 Mbps bidirectional throughput on a 100BASE-BX interface, using wavelength division multiplexing with 1310 nm transmit and 1550 nm receive. Its LC simplex connector and compact SFP form factor make it an easy drop-in upgrade for switches and media converters already supporting MSA-compliant slots.

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
• Interface: 100BASE-BX bidirectional (BiDi)
• Fiber type: Single-mode (SMF)
• Connector: LC simplex
• Max transfer distance: 2 km
• Wavelengths: 1310 nm transmit / 1550 nm receive
• Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM): Yes
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C

Why choose it

The AC-SFP-BIA-FXME cuts fiber infrastructure costs by using only one strand of single-mode fiber instead of a pair. Its bidirectional design frees up fiber capacity in crowded ducts, while DDM support lets you monitor optical parameters in real time. Built to MSA and IEEE 802.3u standards, it works seamlessly in a wide range of networking equipment.

Ideal use cases

• Extending Fast Ethernet links between buildings on a campus
• Industrial automation networks requiring rugged, reliable fiber links
• Upgrading existing SFP-based switches to single-fiber operation
• Connecting remote IP cameras or access points over long distances

Good to know

This module is hot-swappable, so you can install or replace it without powering down the host device. It operates in commercial temperature ranges (0°C to 70°C), making it suitable for most indoor and protected outdoor enclosures. Always pair with a matching BiDi transceiver on the opposite end (e.g., 1550 nm transmit / 1310 nm receive).
