SFP28 BiDi-transceiver BlueOptics S1C98A-BO, LC-simplex, 25GBASE-BX-U, singlemode, TX1270nm/RX1330nm, 10 km, DDM, 0–70°C

SFP28 BiDi Transceiver BlueOptics S1C98A-BO is a singlemode optical module designed for 25 Gigabit Ethernet links. The LC‑Simplex BiDi (25GBASE‑BX‑U) module transmits at 1270 nm and receives at 1330 nm, supporting link distances up to 10 km and diagnostic monitoring (DDM). It is intended for use in switches, routers and media converters to provide high‑speed uplinks and long‑distance singlemode fiber connectivity in data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This SFP28 BiDi transceiver offers compact LC‑Simplex connectivity for easy installation in SFP28 ports and reduces fiber cabling by enabling bidirectional transmission over a single fiber. Support for a 25 Gbit/s data rate and a 10 km reach makes it suitable for common aggregation and uplink scenarios. Built‑in DDM provides real‑time monitoring of optical parameters to help with link maintenance and troubleshooting. The stainless steel housing ensures durability and compatibility with a variety of network equipment.

How to use

Install the SFP28 BiDi transceiver into a compatible SFP28 slot on a switch, router or media converter following the equipment manufacturer's hot‑swap and handling procedures. Connect a singlemode fiber patch cable with LC‑Simplex connectors between paired BiDi modules on each end of the link, ensuring that the TX and RX wavelengths are matched to the remote module. After insertion, verify link status on the host device and check DDM readings if available to confirm optical power and operating parameters.

Recommendations

Use certified singlemode fiber and LC‑Simplex patch cords rated for 10 km or more. Avoid bending the fiber beyond manufacturer specified minimum bend radius and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. For optimal interoperability, verify compatibility with the host equipment and firmware, and use DDM telemetry to monitor link health and plan maintenance.
