FAQ About 100G QSFP28 BIDI Optical Transceiver

Can I use a 100G QSFP28 BIDI transceiver for 40km transmission distance?

Yes, Fibrecross 100G QSFP28 BIDI transceivers are available in both 10km and 40km variants. The 40km version is designed with higher optical power and FEC support, making it ideal for long-haul connections in DCI or metro deployments.

What is a 100G QSFP28 BIDI transceiver and how does it work over single fiber?

A 100G QSFP28 BIDI transceiver enables full-duplex 100Gbps transmission over a single-mode fiber using two different wavelengths (1270nm and 1330nm). It significantly reduces fiber cabling by supporting single-fiber transmission, making it ideal for data centers and metro networks looking to optimize fiber infrastructure.

Is the 100G QSFP28 BIDI transceiver compatible with Cisco switches?

Absolutely. Our transceivers are fully tested and proven to be compatible with Cisco 100G QSFP28 ports, including Nexus and Catalyst series switches. They support DDM, low power consumption, and seamless plug-and-play operation.

What type of fiber and connector is required for the 100G BIDI module?

The module uses LC duplex connectors and operates over single-mode fiber (SMF). The compact QSFP28 form factor and low power design make it ideal for high-density environments.

Is the 100G QSFP28 BIDI module suitable for data center applications?

Yes. The 100G BIDI optical module is perfect for data center environments where fiber count reduction, high-speed transmission, and cost-efficiency are essential. It’s widely used in spine-leaf architectures and top-of-rack (ToR) interconnects.
