GLC-BX80-U-I Use Case
Metro Ethernet Extension over 80 km with GLC-BX80-U-I 1000BASE-BX80-U Single-Fiber SFP
An Internet service provider leverages the GLC-BX80-U-I SFP module to link two metropolitan POPs 80 km apart over a single strand of dark fiber, eliminating the need for costly dual-fiber routes. By integrating DOM for real-time optical monitoring, the network achieves 1 Gbps throughput with proactive fault detection, reducing OPEX by up to 30 % and ensuring SLA-driven uptime.
Campus-to-Branch Connectivity for Remote Sites with 80 km Single-Fiber Bidirectional Link
A multinational enterprise deploys the GLC-BX80-U-I transceiver to connect its headquarters data center to a remote manufacturing plant 80 km away via a single-fiber backbone. The built-in DOM capability provides continuous link health metrics, enabling centralized network management, simplified fiber inventory, and a 25 % reduction in maintenance windows.
Utility Substation Interconnect with 80 km Single-Fiber GLC-BX80-U-I SFP and DOM
An electric utility firm uses the GLC-BX80-U-I for 1 Gbps bidirectional communication between geographically dispersed substations over existing single-fiber infrastructure. Real-time DOM insights allow predictive maintenance of optical links, boosting grid reliability, cutting emergency repair costs by 40 %, and supporting critical SCADA traffic with guaranteed latency.
