Description

Compact 40G QSFP+ BiDi transceiver for duplex multimode fiber, enabling 40GbE over two strands with LC connectors instead of parallel MPO. Ideal for upgrading from 10G duplex plant while reducing fiber usage and patch-panel complexity. Hot-swappable with real-time digital diagnostics for simplified operations.

Features

- 40G over existing duplex MMF with LC, avoiding MPO infrastructure
- Up to 150 m on OM4 and 100 m on OM3
- Hot-swappable QSFP+ with DOM for simplified monitoring
- Cost-effective fiber utilization via bidirectional optics
- Standards-based QSFP+ MSA mechanical footprint

FAQs

Q: Do I need MPO cabling for this 40G module?
A: No. This BiDi QSFP+ uses duplex LC on OM3/OM4 multimode fiber, not MPO.

Q: What distance can I expect on OM3 vs OM4?
A: Up to 100 m on OM3 and up to 150 m on OM4 under typical conditions.

Q: Is it interoperable with SR4 modules?
A: No. It must link to a matching 40G BiDi module at the far end.

Q: Does it support DOM/DDL readings?
A: Yes, digital diagnostics/DOM are supported for monitoring optical power and temperature.

Q: Can I break this out to 4x10G?
A: No. BiDi operates over duplex fiber and is not designed for 4x10G parallel breakout.
