Overview

40G BiDi QSFP+ SR 100M LC Optical Transceiver is a cutting-edge solution designed for high-speed bidirectional data transmission over short distances. Compliant with IEEE 802.3ba and QSFP+ MSA standards, it leverages wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology to transmit and receive 40Gbps signals over a single strand of OM3/OM4 multimode fiber (MMF) using an LC duplex connector. This bidirectional (BiDi) design simplifies fiber infrastructure by halving the required fiber count compared to traditional parallel optics solutions.

Ideal for data centers and enterprise networks, the module supports 40G Ethernet and InfiniBand applications with a reach of up to 100 meters. Its compact, hot-swappable form factor ensures easy deployment in switches, routers, and high-density environments. Advanced digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) enables real-time performance tracking, enhancing network reliability and maintenance efficiency.

With low power consumption, plug-and-play functionality, and cost-effective fiber utilization, the 40G BiDi QSFP+ SR LC transceiver delivers a future-proof, space-saving solution for modern high-bandwidth optical interconnects.
