### 4. Functionality

The SFP100B3-SS30 operates as a bi-directional optical transceiver that transmits and receives Fast Ethernet signals over a single strand of single-mode fiber. It employs Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, where the transmitter emits light at 1310 nm and the receiver detects light at 1550 nm.

This configuration allows two SFP modules—one transmitting at 1310 nm and the other at 1550 nm—to form a full-duplex communication link using only one fiber. The SFP100B3-SS30 is typically paired with the SFP100B5-SS30 module for complementary wavelength operation.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Industrial Ethernet switches and routers
- Media converters and fiber extenders
- Remote monitoring and control systems
- Intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
- Power substation communication networks
- Security and surveillance backhaul links
- Long-distance point-to-point fiber connections

Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard SFP slots on ORing and third-party networking devices.
- Interoperable with other 100 Mbps BIDI SFP modules using complementary wavelengths (TX/RX pairing).
