Product overview

40G QSFP+ BiDi is designed for 100m OM3 / 150m OM4 links using Duplex LC. Selection must confirm the host form factor, electrical interface, PMD, FEC, fiber mapping, power and thermal limits, software version and the remote endpoint; the model name alone does not establish interoperability.

  • QSFP+ BiDi form factor for the defined host-port direction.

  • Duplex LC interface for 100m OM3 / 150m OM4 links.

  • Single-fiber bidirectional optical transmission; confirm the exact fiber or cable assembly before ordering.

  • Validate host coding, FEC, diagnostics, power, thermal behavior and long-duration stability.

Selection and deployment notes

  • Before ordering 40G QSFP+ BiDi, confirm the exact host, software, port mode, reach, fiber or cable, connector, FEC, temperature, quantity, compatibility coding and delivery version.

Selection FAQ

40G QSFP+ BiDi selection questions

Do I have to order 40G QSFP+ BiDi in matched pairs?

Yes. 40G QSFP+ BiDi transmits and receives on complementary wavelengths, so the two ends are not interchangeable and an upstream unit only works against its paired downstream unit. Order them per link and label which end is which before installation.

Can 40G QSFP+ BiDi really run over one fiber strand?

Yes, and that is usually the reason to choose it. 40G QSFP+ BiDi uses Duplex LC and carries both directions on a single strand, which halves the fiber count where pulling new strands is expensive or physically blocked.

What do I need to specify to request a quote for 40G QSFP+ BiDi?

Give the host vendor, model and software version at both ends, the QSFP+ port or lane mode, the operating temperature range, the quantity per site and the target delivery date. For 40G QSFP+ BiDi also state how many links are needed and the wavelength pairing for each end. Compatibility is confirmed per platform, so the host details matter as much as the optical specification.
