v5Complete technical specifications and product details
NOKIA (Alcatel) compatible SFP-GIG-BX-U Description
EdgeOptic's SFP-GIG-BX-U compatible is an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise coded version of the EdgeOptic BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD multi-vendor 1000BASE-BX BiDi SFP transceiver. SFP-GIG-BX-U is Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's own ordering code, documented in the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Transceivers Guide and the OmniSwitch 6250 datasheet, for a single-fiber bidirectional Gigabit Ethernet SFP with an LC connector. ALE documentation covers SFP-GIG-BX-U across its OmniSwitch transceiver guides; confirm platform and firmware compatibility against that documentation before ordering.
As the side A (upstream) module, it transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1490 nm over a single strand of single-mode fiber, and it must be paired with a side B (downstream) module at the far end. The FP laser and PIN photodiode design carries a 15 dB link budget for reach up to 20 km. Transmit power ranges −9 to +3 dBm, with −22 dBm receiver sensitivity and −3 dBm overload point. The transmit and receive passbands span 40 nm windows of 1290 to 1330 nm (TX) and 1470 to 1510 nm (RX), with 140 to 160 ps/nm chromatic dispersion tolerance. Operating temperature spans 0 to 70°C on a +3.3V supply, with DDM diagnostics per SFF-8472.
Compliance covers CE, RoHS, FDA and IEC 60825-1 Class 1 laser safety, plus the INF-8074i and SFP MSA mechanical specifications. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, this module carries a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Alcatel-Lucent SFP-GIG-BX-U reach 10 km or 20 km?
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's own OmniSwitch datasheet documents the native SFP-GIG-BX-U at up to 10 km. EdgeOptic's compatible is built to the EdgeOptic BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD root design, which carries a 15 dB link budget rated for up to 20 km. The OEM ordering code's published reach and EdgeOptic's compatible reach are different specifications; verify which reach figure the deployment requires before ordering.
Does the SFP-GIG-BX-U need to be paired with an SFP-GIG-BX-D at the far end?
Yes. SFP-GIG-BX-U is the side A (upstream) module, transmitting at 1310 nm and receiving at 1490 nm on a single fiber. It must be paired with a side B (downstream) module transmitting at 1490 nm and receiving at 1310 nm, such as EdgeOptic's SFP-GIG-BX-D compatible, at the far end of the link.
Is the SFP-GIG-BX-U the same as the SFP-GIG-BX-U20?
No. SFP-GIG-BX-U and SFP-GIG-BX-U20 are two distinct Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise ordering codes, a base part and a separate extended-reach variant. EdgeOptic sells both as separate compatible modules, including the SFP-GIG-BX-U20 compatible, so confirm which ordering code matches the far-end module already in use before ordering.
