Cisco Compatible QSFP-40/100-SRBD TAA Compliant Functionally Identical 100G/40GBASE SR-BiDi QSFP 100m OM4 MMF Duplex LC Connector

Elevate your data center networking with a Cisco compatible QSFP-40/100-SRBD transceiver that is functionally identical to Cisco SR-BiDi optics. Engineered for 100G and 40GBASE SR-BiDi operation over OM4 multimode fiber, this module delivers reliable, high-density uplinks with a plug-and-play experience. It is programmed, tested, and supported in the USA, and backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring dependable performance across demanding environments. The module is TAA compliant for government procurement and global trade, making it an ideal choice for enterprises, service providers, and educational institutions seeking cost-effective upgrades without compromising interoperability or reliability. Whether you’re refreshing an existing Cisco deployment, expanding your leaf-spine topology, or optimizing your data center interconnects, this SR-BiDi QSFP delivers consistent throughput, low latency, and robust signal integrity across your fiber plant.

• Cisco compatibility and SR-BiDi support: This QSFP-40/100-SRBD module is designed to work seamlessly with Cisco switches and routers that support SR-BiDi 100G/40G interfaces. It mirrors the electrical and optical characteristics of Cisco SR-BiDi optics to enable reliable link establishment, stable performance, and straightforward firmware compatibility. This means you can upgrade or refresh your network without vendor lock-in, freeing budget for broader data-center modernization while preserving a familiar Cisco management experience and feature set.
• 100m reach on OM4 MMF with duplex LC: Built for OM4 multimode fiber, the transceiver delivers dependable performance up to 100 meters on standard duplex LC fiber links. OM4 fiber is chosen for its wide bandwidth and exceptional attenuation characteristics, enabling high-speed links across racks, rows, and data-center campuses. This reach supports scalable topologies, simplified fiber planning, and the ability to consolidate spine and leaf networks without compromising signal quality or throughput.
• Functionally identical to Cisco optics: The module is programmed, tested, and validated to deliver the same optical and electrical behavior as Cisco SR-BiDi transceivers. End users experience identical link performance, interoperability with Cisco devices, and seamless integration with Cisco network management tools. This compatibility reduces the risk of unexpected behavior during upgrades and helps IT teams maintain consistent monitoring, diagnostics, and provisioning across their Cisco-based fabric.
• TA A compliant and backed by lifetime warranty: As a TAA-compliant solution, this transceiver meets procurement standards required by government and many global buyers. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, offering protection against manufacturing defects and workmanship for the life of the product. That warranty translates into lower total cost of ownership, fewer downtime events, and greater confidence when expanding or maintaining your Cisco-powered data center infrastructure.
• Plug-and-play, zero-configuration deployment: Designed for busy data centers, this SR-BiDi module supports hot-swapping and auto-negotiation with compatible Cisco devices. No complex calibration or configuration is required—insert the transceiver, connect OM4 fiber, and allow the switch to recognize the port automatically. This simplifies maintenance windows, reduces deployment time, and minimizes the risk of human error during upgrades or scale-outs.

how to install Cisco Compatible QSFP-40/100-SRBD

• Power down the host equipment or follow your vendor’s maintenance procedures, then locate an available QSFP port on the switch or router.
• Hold the transceiver by its body and align it with the QSFP port, ensuring proper orientation. Insert firmly until the module seats with a definitive click and is fully engaged in the port.
• Connect the OM4 MMF duplex LC fiber patch cables to the module’s LC connectors, making sure transmit and receive pairs are correctly aligned with the corresponding ports on the other end of the link.
• Power up the device (if you powered it down) and verify port status in the switch management interface. Confirm link detection, proper speed negotiation (100G or 40G as configured), and healthy optical metrics.
• Perform basic validation tests such as loopback, throughput, and latency checks to ensure stable operation before placing the link into production. If issues arise, recheck fiber polarity, connector cleanliness, and compatibility with the target Cisco device.

Frequently asked questions
