Product Highlights

1. 100G Single-Fiber BiDi Transmission

This is a 100GBASE-BiDi QSFP28 transceiver designed for carrier-grade and data center applications.
It delivers 100Gbps full-duplex transmission over one single strand of standard G.652 single-mode fiber (SMF) using bidirectional (BiDi) technology.
Operating at Tx 1300nm / Rx 1280nm wavelengths, it supports a maximum reach of 20km, eliminating the need for a paired receive fiber.

2. Single LC Connector Form Factor & Ciena Ecosystem Compatibility

It uses the industry-standard QSFP28 (25G×4 Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) package with a single LC connector interface, optimized for high-density 100G switches and routers.
As a Ciena-branded module, it is natively validated for use with Ciena’s optical transport and data center switching platforms.
The module features an extended temperature (E-Temp) design, supporting reliable operation in challenging environmental conditions.

3. Reliable Performance & Compliance Certification

Built-in Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) allows real-time monitoring of key parameters including TX/RX optical power, module temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current.
Certified as an IEC Class 1 Laser product and CE compliant, meeting global carrier-grade safety and performance requirements.
Manufactured in China, it undergoes rigorous factory testing to ensure stable performance in the extended temperature range.
