Specifications
Ciena XCVR-Q20U01 QSFP28 BiDi 100G 20km 1280nm SMF LC E-Temp INUIARACAA Optical Transceiver Module
The Ciena XCVR-Q20U01 (1280nm) and XCVR-Q20U02 (1300nm) are a pair of high-performance 100GBASE-BiDi QSFP28 optical transceivers, factory-calibrated for Ciena network platforms. Using bidirectional (BiDi) technology, they deliver 100Gbps full-duplex transmission over one single strand of single-mode fiber (simplex) up to 20 km. Both modules feature a simplex LC connector, support extended temperature (E-Temp) operation, full DDM/DOM monitoring, and comply with QSFP28 MSA and 100GBASE-BiDi standards. They must be paired together to enable communication.

Product Highlights

1. 100G BiDi Single-Strand Transmission

  • High-Efficiency BiDi Technology: This 100GBASE-BX20-U QSFP28 transceiver is engineered for carrier-grade and cloud data center applications. 
  • It enables 100Gbps full-duplex transmission over a single strand of standard G.652 single-mode fiber (SMF).
  • Significant Fiber Savings: By utilizing bidirectional technology at 1280nm-TX / 1300nm-RX wavelengths, it reduces fiber cabling requirements by 50% compared to traditional dual-fiber modules.
  • Extended Reach: Supports a maximum link distance of 20km, providing robust performance for metro and edge optical transport.
2. E-Temp Design & Ciena Ecosystem Compatibility
  • Standard QSFP28 Form Factor: Compact, hot-swappable, and optimized for high-density 100G switches and routers.
  • Ciena Native Validation: Fully compatible with Ciena platforms, including 6500, Waveserver, and 8100/5100 series.
  • Extended Temperature (E-Temp) Support: Specifically rated for -5°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable operation in outdoor cabinets or non-climate-controlled environments.
3. Reliable Performance & Compliance Certification
  • Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM): Integrated real-time diagnostics (SFF-8472) for TX/RX power, temperature, and voltage.
  • Carrier-Grade Standards: Compliant with IEEE 802.3bm, QSFP28 MSA, and OTN (OTU4) protocols.
  • Safety & Quality: IEC Class 1 Laser product, CE/RoHS compliant, and rigorously factory-tested for 100G NRZ stability.
