Q100G-BX40-32 – 100G BiDi Transceiver, 40km
Product Overview
The GLOBALfiber 100GBASE-BX40 BiDi QSFP28 optical transceiver designed for long-distance 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a single strand of Single Mode Fiber (SMF).
Operating at 1309.14nm TX and 1304.58nm RX, this transceiver delivers reliable 100G transmission up to 40km while maximizing fiber utilization and reducing infrastructure costs. The module utilizes advanced 100G PAM4 optical modulation, KP4 Forward Error Correction (FEC) and an APD receiver to ensure exceptional optical performance for carrier, enterprise and data center environments.
This hot-pluggable QSFP28 transceiver is fully compliant with QSFP28 MSA and 100G Lambda MSA specifications and supports real-time Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM).
