Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The Duplex LC/UPC interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 100G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP28 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

The multimode channel should use the fiber grade associated with the stated 75m on OM3 / 100m on OM4 / 150m on OM5 reach. Keep the Duplex LC/UPC end faces clean and avoid tight bends. Different multimode standards are not interchangeable merely because they share a connector.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -5.5~3dBm; the stated optical power budget is 4dB. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Mixed-Vendor Network Operation

A mixed-vendor optical link should be documented at both ends, not treated as one generic connection. Confirm which OEM identity each host expects and whether both ends use the same wavelength plan and optical standard. Related links locate equivalent hardware, but brand-specific identification must still be selected independently. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 103.1Gbps, wavelength 850/880/910/940nm, rated reach 75m on OM3 / 100m on OM4 / 150m on OM5.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Factory verification starts with the expected QSFP-BIDI-100G identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Ordering Information

Use QSFP-BIDI-100G as the compatibility cross-reference and QSFP-BIDI-100G as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Each QSFP-BIDI-100G compatible module is inspected, powered up and functionally checked before protective packing. Dust caps and individual trays shield the interface during transport. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
