•
SFP BiDirectional (BiDi) Optics—SFP BiDirectional (BiDi) optical transceivers are used to
transmit and receive optical signals through only one single fiber. These make use of single strand
of SMF. The deployment of BiDi optical transceivers instantly doubles the bandwidth capacity of
the existing optical fiber infrastructure.
