By combining the transmit and receive functions onto a single fiber without an external splitter or combiner, single fiber bidirectional Small Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs) provide a simple way to deliver Fiber to the X (FTTX). These products use a single fiber instead of a fiber pair to deliver 100 Mbps Ethernet, OC-3/STM-1, or even Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel to a building. Enterprise customers also can use these modules to cut fiber cabling needs in half all the way to fiber to the desktop (FTTD) environments.

SFP transceivers from MRV Communications provide the high speeds and size advantages that networks now require while delivering the deployment flexibility and inventory control that network administrators demand. Designed to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards to ensure broad network equipment compatibility, these SFPs are a perfect match for the extensive line of MRV devices including pluggable media modules, chassis, routers, and switches. They compbine to create the ultimate solution in managed fiber infrastructures.
