### 4. Functionality

The SFP100B3-SS60-I operates as a bi-directional optical transceiver that transmits and receives Fast Ethernet signals over a single strand of single-mode fiber. It uses Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology to separate transmit and receive channels by wavelength—transmitting at 1310 nm and receiving at 1550 nm.

Working Principle:
- The module converts electrical Ethernet signals from the host device (switch or media converter) into optical signals for transmission.
- The transmitted optical signal (TX) at 1310 nm travels through the fiber to a paired module (typically SFP100B5-SS60-I) that receives at 1310 nm and transmits at 1550 nm.
- Simultaneously, the SFP100B3-SS60-I receives optical signals at 1550 nm from the remote end and converts them back into electrical signals for the host device.

Typical Applications:
- Industrial Ethernet networks
- Remote monitoring and control systems
- Intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
- Power substation communication
- Oil and gas field networking
- Long-distance point-to-point fiber links
- Metropolitan area networks (MANs)
- Security and surveillance backhaul

Compatibility:
- Compatible with ORing industrial switches, media converters, and routers supporting SFP slots.
- Interoperable with other vendors’ SFP modules compliant with IEEE 802.3u and SFP MSA standards.
- Designed to pair with SFP100B5-SS60-I for complementary wavelength operation.
