NOKIA (Alcatel) compatible 3HE00868AA Description

EdgeOptic's 3HE00868AA compatible is a Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent)-coded version of the EdgeOptic BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD multi-vendor single-fiber BiDi SFP transceiver. It carries Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps) over a single LC/UPC connector on one strand of single-mode fiber, transmitting at 1310 nm and receiving at 1490 nm on the A side of the BiDi pair. Reach is 20 km at a 15 dB average link budget, with transmit power from −9 dBm to 3 dBm and receiver sensitivity better than −22 dBm. An FP laser transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver handle the optical path, with DDM/DOM diagnostics reported per SFF-8472. Nokia's own release notes document the OEM 3HE00868AA at a 10 km reach class. EdgeOptic's compatible is built to the 20 km, 15 dB link budget of the underlying BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD hardware described above, so the two figures describe different products and are not contradictory.

Nokia documents 3HE00868AA as a 1000BASE-BX-U (upstream) module. The opposite end of the same fiber needs the matching 1000BASE-BX-D module, Nokia's 3HE00868AB, installed as the B side, since two BX-U (or two BX-D) modules on the same fiber run will not link up.

EdgeOptic backs this compatible with a lifetime warranty, built on 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. For project quantity pricing or the matching 3HE00868AB module, contact our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 3HE00868AA the 1000BASE-BX-U (upstream) or 1000BASE-BX-D (downstream) half of the BiDi pair?

3HE00868AA is Nokia's 1000BASE-BX-U (upstream) ordering code, documented in Nokia's 7210 SAS release notes as transmitting at 1310 nm and receiving at 1490 nm. That matches the TX1310/RX1490 wavelength plan on the A side of this transceiver. The opposite end of the fiber run needs the BX-D (downstream) half, not a second BX-U module.

Does the 3HE00868AA need to be paired with a 3HE00868AB?

Yes. Nokia documents 3HE00868AA (BX-U, side A) and 3HE00868AB (BX-D, side B) as the matched bidirectional pair for a single-fiber link. Installing two 3HE00868AA modules, one at each end, will not establish a link, since both ends would transmit at 1310 nm and listen at 1490 nm. Order one 3HE00868AA for the A side and one 3HE00868AB for the B side.

Which Nokia platforms is the 3HE00868AA documented for?

Nokia's release notes and datasheets place 3HE00868AA among the supported SFPs on the 7210 SAS series (E and M variants) and the 7705 SAR. Verify against Nokia's own transceiver compatibility matrix before deploying on any other Nokia or Alcatel-Lucent platform.
