Overview

The Westermo GSLC20-BiDI-A-DDM is a Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver designed for industrial fiber optic networks. This module enables bidirectional (BiDi) communication over a single fiber strand, utilizing distinct wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm to maximize fiber capacity. It supports data transmission up to 1 Gbit/s over distances of 20 km on singlemode fiber. A key feature is the integrated Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) functionality, which provides real-time insights into critical parameters including temperature, voltage, bias current, TX power, and RX power. This monitoring is crucial for proactive network management and troubleshooting in demanding industrial environments. The GSLC20-BiDI-A-DDM meets stringent industrial standards, including EMC compliance with EN 50121-4/IEC 62236-4 and safety certifications for laser products (EN/IEC 60825-1, EN/IEC 60825-2) and ICT equipment (EN/IEC/UL 62368-1). It operates within a wide temperature range of -40 to +85°C, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions. Westermo offers a 5-year warranty on this transceiver. Its compact SFP form factor ensures compatibility with Westermo's industrial Ethernet switches and media converters, facilitating high-bandwidth network backbones.
