It is guaranteed to be 100 compatible with the equivalent cisco transceiver.
Qsfp 40g sr bd cable.
Qsfp 40g sr bd since the introduction of 40 gigabit ethernet with the ieee 802 3ba standard in 2010 the only multimode solution on the market has used parallel optics.
Like the qsfp bidi transceiver it has a duplex mmf lc connector interface.
The cisco qsfp bidi transceiver qsfp 40g sr bd is a short reach optical transceiver that delivers 40 gbps over a duplex om3 or om4 mmf.
That s correct the nexus port speed supports but the qsfp 40g sr bd only supports 40g.
The qsfp bidi monitor is used only in the monitoring path of a link containing a passive optical tap splitter.
Cisco qsfp 40g bd rx the cisco qsfp 40 gbps bidi monitor is a pluggable optical module for use with link monitor hardware such as the cisco nexus data broker.
The cisco qsfp 40g sr bd compatible qsfp optical transceiver module is designed for use in 40gbase ethernet throughput up to 150m over om4 multimode fiber mmf using a wavelength of 832nm to 918nm via an lc connector.
These transceivers perform identically to cisco original transceivers are 100 compatible and support full hot swapping operation.
Every qsfp 40g sr bd a is environmentally tested in its specific port platform which includes compliance verification for distance wavelength traffic density and light.
It is msa compliant.
The parallel optics solution 40gbase sr4 uses eight fibers to transmit four duplex channels each using 10 gigabit ethernet.
The result is an aggregated duplex 40 gbps link over a mmf duplex lc terminated fiber cable.
This cisco qsfp 40g sr bd compatible qsfp transceiver provides 40gbase sr throughput up to 1050m over multi mode fiber mmf over wavelengths between 832nm and 918nm using a lc connector.
Cisco qsfp bidi transceiver qsfp 40g sr bd the cisco qsfp bidi transceiver has two 20 gbps channels each transmitted and received simultaneously over two wavelengths on a single mmf strand.
For 10g connectivity you can use a breakout qsfp qsfp adapter converts 40g to 10g or qsfp breakout cable.
