Dell QSFP-40G-BIDI 40Gb/s QSFP+ 150m 918nm Duplex LC MMF Transceiver

Description

The Dell QSFP-40G-BIDI is a high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module that utilizes Bi-Directional (BiDi) technology. This innovative feature allows for simultaneous transmission and reception of data over a single strand of Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) optic cable, effectively doubling the fiber capacity compared to traditional dual-fiber transceivers. This makes it an ideal solution for network upgrades or expansions where fiber infrastructure is limited or costly to deploy. The module operates at a specific wavelength of 918nm, which is crucial for its BiDi functionality. With a data rate of 40Gbps, the QSFP-40G-BIDI provides substantial bandwidth for demanding applications in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments. It supports distances of up to 150 meters over OM3 or OM4 MMF, making it suitable for intra-data center links, switch-to-switch connections, and server aggregation. The QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) form factor is designed for high-density port configurations. It features a duplex LC connector, which is standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure physical interface. As a hot-pluggable module, the QSFP-40G-BIDI can be installed or removed without interrupting network operations, facilitating easier maintenance and upgrades. Its BiDi capability helps reduce cabling complexity and costs by utilizing fewer fiber strands. This transceiver is optimized for Dell networking equipment, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance, and is a key component for network architects seeking to maximize fiber utilization and achieve high-speed connectivity efficiently.
