Cisco Compatible QSFP-40/100-SRBD
40G/100G BiDi QSFP Transceiver Module | Duplex LC MMF | 70m/100m/150m DOM Support
Product Overview
The Cisco compatible QSFP-40/100-SRBD is a high-performance BiDi (Bidirectional) QSFP optical transceiver designed to support both 40GbE and 100GbE Ethernet connectivity over standard duplex multimode fiber (MMF).
Unlike traditional SR4 optics that require MPO/MTP multi-fiber cabling, the QSFP-40/100-SRBD enables high-speed transmission over existing duplex LC fiber infrastructure, allowing seamless migration from 10G/40G to 100G networks without replacing existing cabling systems.
The module supports:
- 40GbE BiDi transmission
- 100GbE BiDi transmission
- Duplex LC connectivity
- Short-range multimode fiber applications
Transmission distance:
- Up to 70m over OM3 MMF
- Up to 100m over OM4 MMF
- Extended support up to 150m in optimized environments
The QSFP-40/100-SRBD is ideal for:
- Enterprise data centers
- Spine-leaf architectures
- Cloud computing infrastructure
- High-density switch deployments
- Data center migration projects
Key Features
