CISCO QSFP-40G-SR-BD – QSFP40G BiDi Short-reach Transceiver

Detailed Description:

The CISCO QSFP-40G-SR-BD transceiver module introduces a revolutionary approach to 40G connectivity by leveraging bidirectional (BiDi) technology to transmit and receive 40Gbps signals over a single duplex multimode fiber. This not only reduces the network’s fiber requirements by half but also significantly cuts down on deployment costs and complexity. Engineered for short-reach applications, it is perfect for high-density data communications within data centers where space and fiber resources are often limited. The module uses a simplex LC connector, simplifying the fiber infrastructure and providing a cost-effective, high-bandwidth solution for up to 100 meters over OM3 fiber and 150 meters over OM4 fiber. With this innovative approach, the QSFP-40G-SR-BD transceiver allows data center architects and operators to achieve efficient, scalable, and economical network expansions while maintaining exceptional data throughput and reliability.
