Description
Overview
GAOTek GBASE Bi-Directional (BiDi) Transceiver is a pluggable optical transceiver with a duplex LC connector interface for short-reach data communication and interconnect applications using multi-mode fiber (MMF). The Cisco-compatible QSFP 40 Gbps BiDi transceiver offers customers a compelling solution that enables reuse of their existing 10 gigabit duplex MMF infrastructure for migration to 40 gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It complies with the QSFP MSA specification, enabling customers to use it on all QSFP 40 Gbps platforms to achieve high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet networks. This device consists of two 20 Gbps transmit and receive channels in the 832 nm to 918 nm wavelength range, enabling an aggregated 40 Gbps link over a two-strand multimode fiber connection.
