10GBASE-LR media utilizes 1330nm transceivers with -5dBm transmit power and a -15dBm minimum receive sensitivity. 10GBASE-LR uses separate receive and transmit fibres.

10GBASE-BX media utilizes 1330nm TX, 1270nm RX bi-directional single fibre transceivers with -4dBm transmit power and -14dBm receive sensitivity (up to 20km range). Many network vendors refer to this as a Downstream transceiver. Participants will need an Upstream transceiver with 1270nm TX, 1330nm RX. A single fibre cross-connect, which contains two fibres, can be split to connect to two ports using 10GBASE-BX. Technically, this media type should be called 10GBASE-BR as it uses 64b/66b just like 10GBASE-LR, but most vendors refer to it as 10GBASE-BX.

10GBASE-ER media utilizes 1550nm transceivers with 0dBm transmit power and -16dBm receive sensitivity (up to 40km range).

10GBASE-DWDM media utilizes 100 Ghz grid (Ch 21 to Ch 60) DWDM transceivers with 0dBm transmit power and -23dBm receive sensitivity (up to 80km range). Please specify your requested channel during the order process.

100GBASE-LR1 media utilizes a single wavelength (lambda) over duplex fibre.  LR1 is a good choice for participants that have 400 Gbps routers, and intend to use a 4 x 100 Gbps breakout transceiver (400GBASE-PLR4).

100GBASE-BX10 media utilizes 1331nm TX, 1271nm RX  bi-directional single fibre transmission with an approximate 0dBm transmit power and -8dBm receive sensitivity (up to 10km range).  Many vendors refer to this as a Downstream transceiver.  Participants will need an Upstream transceiver 1271nm TX, 1331nm RX.  A single fibre cross-connect using bi-directional transceivers can be split to connect to two different VANIX ports.
