Product Description
The Dell Q28-100G-BIDI is a cutting-edge 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) transceiver module designed for high-density data center and enterprise network applications. It employs Bi-Directional (BIDI) technology, which allows for both transmitting and receiving data signals over a single strand of fiber optic cable. This significantly reduces the number of fiber connections required, simplifying cabling infrastructure and potentially lowering costs. This QSFP28 transceiver is engineered to operate over OM4 multimode fiber, supporting a maximum transmission distance of 100 meters. The BIDI functionality is achieved by using different wavelengths for transmitting and receiving on the same fiber, typically requiring a specific pair of transceivers or a single transceiver with integrated optics that handle both directions. It features a single LC connector, which is standard for BIDI transceivers that consolidate the fiber path. The Q28-100G-BIDI is ideal for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers. Its ability to double the fiber utilization efficiency makes it a compelling choice for network upgrades where port density and cable management are critical considerations. Compatibility is typically with Dell networking equipment and other switches supporting this specific 100G BIDI QSFP28 standard.
