My pleasure.

very helpful, would be great if the meaning of each abbreviation were mentioned as well, like SFP, BiDi, QSFP+ etc

Was one sfp LC/ UPC simplex and the other one sfp APC/UPC simplex? Plugging in a UPC in on both?

@Fastcabling

FYI, this SFP module is compatible with LC/UPC simplex.

I learnd more here thani have from several weeks of Internet searches. Just one question, please. Does the connection in your example carry data both ways? Or, is a second cable required? ( The terms may no longer be applicable, but is the connection simplex or duplex?)

The communication is bi-directional as we use a BiDi SFP module which can transmit data in both directions over a single fiber strand. The pre-terminated fiber cable is simplex, with 2 strands.

@@Fastcabling okay, let me see if I have this correct. Both directions are moving through a single strand, albeit on two different wavelengths I presume. The other strand is doing nothing. (?) Correct? In other words, again assuming I understand, the connection could be made with a single strand cable, but you used the two strand cable for the SFP connector required by the BIDI SFP module.

@Fastcabling

The BiDi SFP module only uses one strand. The fiber cable consists of two strands so you can set up two connections.

No big deal!

If two 1GB switches are next to each other in the rack and both have SFP ports what transceivers / cable is recommended?

@Fastcabling

You can use this BiDi SFP module (single mode, LC connector) whose speed is rated at 1.25Gbps, and connect two switches using a fiber optic patch cable. www.fastcabling.com/product/bidi-sfp-fiber-modules-2/ But if your switches have a Gigabit RJ45 uplink, you can connect them with Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cables directly.

I'm new to this fast networking world. Why would I use an SFP+ transceiver for my 2.5G home network when I have the home cabled with Eth Cat 7?

@Fastcabling

In many home network scenarios, especially at 2.5G speeds, Cat 7 cabling will serve well and is a straightforward solution. While your current needs might be met with 2.5G, SFP+ supports up to 10Gbps. For example, connecting NAS devices, servers, or uplinks between switches might benefit from the higher throughput capabilities of 10G. The range of PoE/Ethernet is limited to 100 meters, while SFP+ modules with fiber optics can be used to extend the network over greater distances without signal degradation.

@@Fastcabling thank you for the detailed answer. Since it will be less than 100m, I think I will opt for cat 7. Thanks
