What is a Single Fiber SFP, and how does it work?

A Single Fiber SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) module is a type of optical transceiver that transmits and receives data over a single strand of optical fiber instead of using a pair of fibers (one for transmission and one for reception). It operates using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, where two different wavelengths are used—one for transmitting (Tx) and another for receiving (Rx).

For example, one module might transmit at 1310 nm and receive at 1550 nm , while the paired module on the other end does the opposite (transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm ).
