25G Fronthaul BiDi SFP28 10km Industrial A-Side: BIDI-25GFH-SFP28-10AI

Our EDGEOPTIC BIDI-25GFH-SFP28-10AI is a multi-vendor compatible 25G Fronthaul BiDi SFP28 single-fiber optical module engineered for fiber-efficient mobile fronthaul applications in demanding outdoor and industrial environments. Combining bidirectional single-fiber technology with an extended operating temperature range from -45°C to +85°C, this industrial-grade transceiver delivers reliable 10-kilometer connectivity while maximizing fiber utilization in harsh deployment conditions.

The BIDI-25GFH-SFP28-10AI module transmits at 1270nm wavelength and receives at 1330nm wavelength, supporting data rates from 8.5 to 28.1 Gbps. This multi-rate capability enables compatibility with various CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) options including CPRI Option 7 at 9.830 Gbps, Option 8 at 10.138 Gbps, Option 9 at 12.165 Gbps, and Option 10 at 24.33 Gbps. The transceiver supports host-based Forward Error Correction for enhanced signal integrity across fronthaul distances in extreme thermal conditions. This A-Side module must be paired with a complementary B-Side transceiver (BIDI-25GFH-SFP28-10BI) operating at opposite wavelengths to establish a complete bidirectional link.

Our 25G Fronthaul BiDi SFP28 industrial transceiver utilizes DML (Directly Modulated Laser) technology for transmission and PIN photodiode for signal reception. The module ensures an 8.3 dB guaranteed optical link budget, enabling reliable transmission over 10 kilometers of single-mode fiber regardless of ambient temperature fluctuations. The transmitter operates within a wavelength bandwidth of 20nm with launch power ranging from -4 dBm to 4 dBm. The receiver sensitivity spans from -11 dBm to 2 dBm with overload protection at 2 dBm.

The BIDI-25GFH-SFP28-10AI compatible 25G Fronthaul BiDi module is a hot-pluggable SFP28 transceiver featuring a single LC/UPC connector as the optical interface. The electrical interface conforms to SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and SFP28 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard SFP28 host systems across multiple vendor equipment platforms. Our industrial-grade 25G Fronthaul BiDi SFP28 transceiver can be programmed for compatibility with various network equipment manufacturers.

The module incorporates DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality providing real-time operational parameters including transmitted and received optical power levels, module temperature, bias current, and supply voltage. This diagnostic capability becomes particularly valuable in outdoor industrial deployments where environmental monitoring is essential for proactive maintenance. Maximum power consumption is 1.2W.

The industrial temperature range of -45°C to +85°C makes this transceiver ideal for outdoor cabinet installations, cell tower equipment shelters, and remote radio unit deployments where both fiber scarcity and temperature extremes present challenges. Standards compliance includes 25GBASE-LR and IEEE 802.3cc specifications. The module is CE marked and RoHS compliant.

Typical applications include fiber-constrained outdoor 5G fronthaul connections, C-RAN deployments in harsh environments with limited fiber availability, single-fiber remote cell site connectivity, and industrial mobile network infrastructure requiring both fiber efficiency and temperature resilience.

Because our focus is providing top quality service, we perform comprehensive quality checks before delivery of our products. As a result, we conduct optical parameter measurements, connector cleanliness tests, and SFP28 transceiver EEPROM memory data validation tests to ensure reliable operation in your mission-critical fronthaul network.
