A 1310nm single mode optical transceiver works by converting electrical data signals into optical signals at the 1310nm wavelength, transmitting them through single-mode fiber, and then converting them back into electrical signals at the receiving end. These devices, part number PW85ST, are designed to simultaneously transm t and re-ceive over a single optical fiber at frequencies from DC to 200MHz. Most systems operate by transmitting in one direction on one fiber and in the reverse direction on another fiber for full. With the optical CATV transmitter, the optical 4-way upstream receiver, the optical de-/multiplexer and the micro fibre nodes, Axing offers a complete fibre optic transmission link for downstream and upstream. The fibre optic technology uses 1550 nm in the downstream and 1310 nm in the upstream. BiDi SFPs connect to a fiber cable using only one simplex port, whereas standard transceivers have duplex fiber ports.
