1. Save fiber resources and costs
Since BiDi optics can realize the transmission and reception of optical signals through a single fiber, the biggest benefit of BiDi transceivers is that they save fiber resources and are cost-effective high-quality short-distance solutions, which are suitable for areas without additional fiber resources. of great value. The reduction in fiber usage saves the cost of cabling infrastructure. Compared with the traditional double-strand fiber bidirectional optical path, the fiber consumption per unit transmission distance of the BiDi transceiver is reduced by half.

 
2. Facilitate the construction of communication facilities
Second, BiDi optics are convenient for construction in certain scenarios. For example, in the construction scenario of building a 4G RRU (Remote Radio Unit) site on the basis of the previous 3G RRU site, since the previous 3G site used dual fibers between the RRU and the BBU (Building Baseband Unit), if a BiDi transceiver is deployed , the double-strand fiber resources can be fully utilized. One fiber was used for the previous 3G transmission link and the other was used for the new 4G transmission. Therefore, BiDi transceivers can quickly increase the capacity of network links and shorten the construction period.

 
3. Easy to manage
In addition to saving fiber resources, BiDi transceivers also reduce the number of ports on fiber patch cord panels and reduce the space occupied by trays dedicated to fiber management. In addition, BiDi optical transceivers are also easier to maintain and repair in the event of an unexpected fiber link interruption, because BiDi fiber is cut in half compared to traditional dual-strand fiber links.
