Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI-BO QSFP 100 m

The BlueOptics FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed short-range links up to 100 m. It uses a QSFP interface and an LC duplex connection for bidirectional optical transmission over multimode fiber. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 40 g, the module supports 40GBASE-SR2-BIDI class optical signalling and is intended for use in network switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP transceivers.

Advantages

The module provides a compact QSFP form factor with bidirectional (BIDI) transmit and receive channels in a single transceiver, reducing cabling complexity. Aluminium housing offers mechanical durability while the lightweight design simplifies installation in dense equipment racks. The transceiver complies with common MSA QSFP specifications and is suitable for multimode fiber links up to 100 metres, delivering up to 40 Gbit/s aggregate throughput for supported protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet.

Suitable for

• Short-range 40 Gbit/s uplinks between switches and aggregation points
• High-speed connections in data centre top-of-rack and server racks
• Interconnects between routers, storage arrays and switches supporting QSFP
• Multimode fiber links up to 100 metres in enterprise networks

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on the target device following the device manufacturer’s insertion and removal procedures. Use an appropriate multimode LC duplex fiber patch cord or patch panel to connect to the remote transceiver. Ensure that transceiver firmware and the host hardware support bidirectional 40GBASE-SR2 operation and, if required, enable digital diagnostics monitoring in the host system. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use certified multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, maintain clean fiber endfaces, and follow electrostatic discharge precautions when handling the transceiver. Confirm host compatibility with QSFP 40GBASE-SR2-BIDI modules and check whether the host supports DDM/DOM if real-time diagnostics are required.
