NOKIA (Alcatel) compatible SFP-GIG-BX-U20 Description

EdgeOptic's SFP-GIG-BX-U20 compatible is an ALE-coded version of the EdgeOptic BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD multi-vendor 1000BASE-BX BiDi SFP transceiver. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise documents this code as a 1000Base-BX bidirectional transceiver with an LC interface for single-strand single-mode fiber links up to 20 km point to point. That native reach matches this module's 20 km, 15 dB link budget rating exactly, unlike ALE's base SFP-GIG-BX-U code, which ALE documents at 10 km.

The U side of this BiDi pair transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1490 nm, using an FP laser and a PIN photodiode, with launch power from −9 to 3 dBm, receiver sensitivity of −22 dBm, and −3 dBm overload. ALE's AOS Release 8 Transceivers Guide documents the far-end pairing for this code as SFP-GIG-BX-D20, not the base SFP-GIG-BX-D, so deployments should pair it with EdgeOptic's matching SFP-GIG-BX-D20 compatible at the opposite end of the link.

Operating temperature is rated 0°C to 70°C, with a 3.3 V supply, DDM per SFF-8472, and compliance with CE, RoHS, Class 1 laser safety per IEC 60825-1 and FDA regulations, and the INF-8074i SFP MSA form factor. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise documents the SFP-GIG-BX-U20 at the OmniSwitch transceivers guide level, including the AOS Release 8 Transceivers Guide, rather than listing specific switch models for this code; verify platform and AOS release support against ALE's own transceivers guide before deployment. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, this compatible ships with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the OEM SFP-GIG-BX-U20 already reach 20 km, or is that only EdgeOptic's compatible spec?

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise documents the SFP-GIG-BX-U20 as a 1000Base-BX bidirectional transceiver rated for single-strand single-mode fiber links up to 20 km point to point. That native reach matches this compatible's 20 km, 15 dB link budget rating exactly, unlike ALE's base SFP-GIG-BX-U code, which ALE documents at 10 km.

Which far-end module pairs with the SFP-GIG-BX-U20?

ALE's AOS Release 8 Transceivers Guide documents SFP-GIG-BX-D20, not the base SFP-GIG-BX-D, as the designed far-end pairing partner for the SFP-GIG-BX-U20. EdgeOptic sells the matching SFP-GIG-BX-D20 compatible for the opposite end of the link.

Which Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise platforms document the SFP-GIG-BX-U20?

ALE documents the SFP-GIG-BX-U20 at the OmniSwitch transceivers guide level, including the AOS Release 8 Transceivers Guide, rather than listing specific switch models for this code. Verify platform and AOS release support against ALE's own transceivers guide for the deployment before ordering.
