NOKIA (Alcatel) compatible 3FE48235AB Description

EdgeOptic's 3FE48235AB compatible is a Nokia-coded Tx1330/Rx1270 version of the EdgeOptic BIDI-10G-SFP-20B multi-vendor 10G BiDi SFP+ transceiver. It carries Nokia-recognized identification data, so Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent) networking equipment programmed for the 3FE48235AB reads it as a matching module. This is the B-side of a bidirectional pair: it transmits at 1330 nm and receives at 1270 nm over a single strand of single-mode fiber.

Bidirectional operation carries transmit and receive on a single strand of single-mode fiber, where a conventional duplex 10G link needs two strands, so a BiDi pair halves fiber-strand consumption on the span. That makes the module a practical fit for metro, campus, and inter-building links where spare fiber is limited. The EdgeOptic compatible reaches 20 km over single-mode fiber with a 9 dB link budget covering connector and splice loss across the span. It must pair at the far end with a Tx1270/Rx1330 A-side module, the 3FE48235AA. The module uses a single LC/UPC connector.

The optical interface uses a DFB laser transmitter and a PIN photodiode receiver. Transmit power runs from −5 dBm to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity is better than −14.5 dBm, and the receiver tolerates input up to +4 dBm before overload. The module runs on a single +3.3 V supply across a 0 to 70 C operating range and supports digital optical monitoring, so host equipment can read live temperature, supply voltage, laser bias, and optical power. Build and safety compliance follows the SFP MSA and SFF-8431, with Class 1 laser rating per IEC 60825-1.

The 3FE48235AB compatible handles 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet traffic. The 3FE part-number range spans several Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent) product families, so before ordering for a specific chassis, contact our sales team with the Nokia equipment model to confirm the part.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, the 3FE48235AB compatible ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 3FE48235AA and 3FE48235AB differ only in the final letter, so which one goes at each end of the link?

The 3FE48235AB is the B-side module: it transmits at 1330 nm and receives at 1270 nm. The 3FE48235AA is the A-side: it transmits at 1270 nm and receives at 1330 nm. A single-fiber BiDi link needs one of each, installed at opposite ends, so each module's transmit wavelength matches the receive wavelength on the other side. Two modules of the same suffix will not pass traffic. Confirm the wavelength direction against the part suffix before ordering.
