Do Huawei optical modules have 100Mbps speeds

Optical network knowledge brief Published 03 Feb 2024

Prepared for preliminary research by the COETZER OPTICAL knowledge desk. Confirm compatibility, loss budgets and installation requirements against current standards and product documentation.

Yes, Huawei offers optical modules that support 100 Mbps speeds, including 100Base-T SFP modules.

Huawei provides 100Base-T SFP modules designed for Fast Ethernet networks, capable of transmitting data at 100 Mbps over distances up to 100 meters using standard RJ45 cabling. These modules support auto-negotiation, ensuring compatibility with different network speeds and duplex modes, and are compliant with industry SFP standards for seamless integration with Huawei switches and other network equipment (Huawei model 34100101) .

Module Types Supporting 100 Mbps
  • SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable): Standard SFP modules can support Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) depending on the specific model .
  • BIDI SFP Modules: Huawei also offers BIDI optical modules for single-fiber bidirectional transmission, which can operate at 100 Mbps when paired correctly (e.g., SFP-FE-LX-SM1310-BIDI with SFP-FE-LX-SM1550-BIDI) .
Key Features
  • Interface: RJ45 for electrical 100Base-T modules; LC connectors for fiber SFP modules.
  • Distance: Typically up to 100 meters for copper-based 100Base-T SFP modules.
  • Compliance: Fully compatible with Huawei switches, OLTs, and other network devices.
  • Hot-swappable: SFP modules can be replaced without powering down the device .
Summary

Huawei's optical module portfolio includes 100 Mbps-capable modules, particularly 100Base-T SFP modules, suitable for Fast Ethernet networks. These modules are reliable, support auto-negotiation, and can be used in both copper and fiber configurations depending on the model. For fiber-based 100 Mbps connections, BIDI SFP modules must be used in pairs to ensure proper bidirectional communication .
