Description
The Cisco QSFP-40G-BD-RX is a high-performance transceiver module designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber. Utilizing Cisco’s innovative bidirectional (BiDi) technology, this module enables 40G transmission over a single pair of OM3 or OM4 fibers, significantly reducing cabling complexity and cost. Housed in a compact QSFP+ form factor, it supports a wavelength duplexing system that transmits and receives simultaneously on 850nm and 900nm wavelengths. This makes it ideal for data center environments looking to upgrade to 40G without overhauling existing fiber infrastructure.
Engineered for reliability, the QSFP-40G-BD-RX features a built-in digital diagnostics monitoring interface for real-time performance tracking. It supports link lengths of up to 100 meters on OM3 and up to 150 meters on OM4 multimode fiber, making it suitable for short-reach applications. The module connects via an LC duplex connector and operates with a power consumption of less than 3.5W, ensuring energy efficiency. Fully compatible with Cisco networking equipment, this used transceiver is a cost-effective solution for expanding network capacity while maintaining trusted performance.
