Aren’t BiDi transceivers usually a good bit more expensive, especially compared to how low the material cost of fiber is? What’s your use case for BiDi? I don’t have a lot of first hand experience with this stuff, though. I can easily imagine BiDi being useful to retrofit/repurpose some existing fiber, since labor costs can be a lot.
- fifteenforty 4y agoI can see it being useful for running ultra thin bend insensitive fibre around base boards; just like the FTTR thing Huawei is trying to sell. I wish the concept was more clearly legal in Australia. I’m pretty sure once you glue the fiber in place it becomes ‘permanent’ and thus has to be done by a licensed cabler with a fiber endorsement.
