The single-fiber bidirectional optical (BIDI) modules must be used in pairs; otherwise, the two ports cannot be connected. For example, if one end uses the TX1310/RX1490 module, the other end must use the TX1490/RX1310 module. BiDi optical modules can do this by utilizing full-duplex communication over a single fiber strand via two wavelengths. By reading this blog, you will understand how SFP BiDi technology allows you to save fiber, reduce costs, and simplify installation while enabling your network to increase. Based on typical issues encountered with optical modules in daily switch applications, this document summarizes basic troubleshooting steps for resolving common faults: 1. Check compatibility between the optical module and switch Most switch brands have specific compatibility requirements. Customers in the use of optical modules will more or less encounter a variety of failure problems, such as optical module model selection is correct, the use of jumper is correct and some common problems, customers have the ability to judge and have a clear solution, but for some of the use of. For DS110DF111, it is followed by a 10G SFP optical module, but after repeated insertion and removal, the optical module cannot be used, and the link status is displayed down.
