### 4. Functionality

The SFP100B3-MM operates as a plug-in optical transceiver module that converts electrical Ethernet signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cables. It supports bi-directional communication over a single fiber strand by using two distinct wavelengths—1310 nm for transmission and 1550 nm for reception.

Typical Use Cases:
- Industrial Ethernet switches and routers requiring fiber uplinks
- Media converters bridging copper and fiber networks
- Surveillance and security systems with fiber backbones
- Building automation and control networks
