RAD compatible SFP-17AD Description
EdgeOptic's SFP-17AD compatible is a RAD-coded version of the EdgeOptic BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD multi-vendor 1000BASE-BX BiDi SFP transceiver. RAD's own Pluggable Transceivers brochure documents the SFP-17AD as a Gigabit Ethernet, LC, TX-1310/RX-1490 single-mode module, the upstream (side A) half of a WDM BiDi pair. It transmits at 1310nm and receives at 1490nm over a single strand of 9/125 single-mode fiber, and pairs at the far end with the downstream SFP-17BD (1490nm TX, 1310nm RX), which EdgeOptic sells as a separate compatible.
RAD's own brochure and third-party reseller listings document the OEM SFP-17AD as a 1000BASE-BX10 module with a 10 km reach. EdgeOptic's compatible is built to the BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD root hardware, engineered for a 20 km reach on a 15 dB guaranteed optical link budget; the longer distance describes EdgeOptic's module, not the OEM part number. The FP laser transmitter outputs −9 to 3 dBm, and the PIN photodiode receiver holds −22 dBm sensitivity with a −3 dBm overload point. Transmit and receive passbands span 40 nm windows (1290 to 1330 nm and 1470 to 1510 nm) with 140 to 160 ps/nm of chromatic dispersion tolerance, and digital diagnostic monitoring follows SFF-8472. The module runs on a 3.3V supply across a 0 to 70 °C operating range.
The compatible carries CE and RoHS marking and IEC 60825-1 Class 1 laser safety, and follows SFP MSA form factor and INF-8074i physical layer specifications. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, the SFP-17AD compatible ships with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the RAD SFP-17AD need to be paired with a SFP-17BD at the far end?
Yes. The SFP-17AD is the upstream half of the BiDi pair, transmitting at 1310nm and receiving at 1490nm. The far end needs the downstream SFP-17BD, which transmits at 1490nm and receives at 1310nm. EdgeOptic sells the SFP-17BD compatible separately.
The OEM RAD SFP-17AD is documented as a 10 km 1000BASE-BX module. Why does the EdgeOptic compatible list 20 km?
RAD's own brochure and third-party reseller listings document the SFP-17AD ordering code as a 1000BASE-BX10 module with a 10 km reach. EdgeOptic's compatible is a different build, engineered to the BiDi-1.25G-SFP-21-AD root hardware, which carries a 20 km reach on a 15 dB guaranteed optical link budget. The 20 km figure describes EdgeOptic's module, not the native reach of the RAD ordering code.
Which RAD platforms document the SFP-17AD as a supported transceiver?
RAD lists the SFP-17AD at the document level in its own Pluggable Transceivers brochure as a Gigabit Ethernet BiDi module. No specific RAD platform model is confirmed against a primary RAD source for this exact SKU, so verify device-level support against RAD's own transceiver documentation for the target platform before ordering.
