The QSFP28 40/100G dual-rate BiDi (Bi-Directional) transceiver is a pluggable optical transceiver with a duplex LC connector interface for short-reach data communication and interconnect applications using MMF. It offers customers a solution that enables reuse of their existing 10 Gb duplex MMF infrastructure for migration to either 40 or 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
In 40G mode, the Cisco QSFP 40/100G BiDi transceiver supports link lengths of 100m and 150m on OM3 and OM4 MMF, respectively. In 100G mode, it supports 70 and 100 meters on OM3 and OM4, respectively. Each 40/100G BiDi transceiver consists of two transmit and receive channels in the 832-918 nm wavelength range, enabling an aggregated 40G or 100G link over a two-strand multimode fiber connection.
In 100G mode, the operating temperature range is +10 to +60°C and in 40G mode it is +10 to +70°C. the QSFP28 40/100G BiDi module is primarily used in data center and enterprise applications.
The Cisco 1000BASE-SX SFP Module is an industry-standard Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Interface Converter that links switches and routers to the network. Featuring a robust design for enhanced reliability, this SFP receiver/transmitter module plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot and is hot-swappable to maximise uptime and simplify serviceability.
The Cisco 25GBASE-SR-S SFP Module delivers a variety of high-density and low-power 25-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data centre and high-performance computing network applications. Based on an SFP28 form factor, this SFP module is interoperable with other IEEE-compliant 25G interfaces where applicable and is high-speed connectivity compliant to IEEE 802.3by and IEEE 802.3cc.
The Cisco 10GBASE-T module offers connectivity options at the following data rates: 100M/1G/10Gbps. It has the SFP+ form factor and an RJ-45 interface so that CAT5e/CAT6A/CAT7 cables can be used to connect to end points with embedded 10GBASE-T ports. They are suitable for distances up to 30 meters and offers a cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks.
The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches support optional network modules for uplink ports. The default switch configuration does not include the network module.
