Cisco Cisco 40 Gigabit Modules 入门指南
Cisco’s innovative 40-Gbps Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP)
bidirectional (BiDi) transceiver is a pluggable optical transceiver with
a duplex LC connector interface for short-reach data communication
and interconnect applications. By using the existing 10 Gigabit Ethernet
duplex MMF fiber infrastructure for 40 Gigabit Ethernet, the Cisco BiDi
transceiver offers significant cost savings and simplifies data center
upgrading.
The Cisco BiDi transceiver supports link lengths of 100m and 150m on
laser-optimized OM3 and OM4 multimode fibers. It complies with the
QSFP MSA specification, enabling customers to use it on all QSFP 40-
Gbps platforms to achieve high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet networks.

Use Your Existing 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber for 40 Gigabit
Ethernet
Whether your cable plant is structured or unstructured, Cisco’s BiDi
transceiver delivers significant savings and a smooth migration to
40 Gigabit Ethernet. The Cisco BiDi transceiver enables the use of an
existing 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber plant infrastructure for 40 Gigabit
Ethernet, delivering four times the bandwidth over the same fiber plant
and up to 70% savings over other current solutions.

For building out new data centers, deploying 40 Gigabit Ethernet for
aggregation and core is no longer an option but a requirement to meet
today’s data demands. Designing new cable plants using Cisco’s BiDi
transceivers offers:

Cisco’s QSFP 40 Gigabit Ethernet BiDi technology removes
40-Gbps cabling cost barriers for migration from 10-Gbps to 40-Gbps
connectivity in data center networks. Cisco’s BiDi transceivers provide
simpler and less expensive 40-Gbps connectivity compared to other
40-Gbps transceiver solutions. The Cisco QSFP BiDi transceiver allows
organizations to migrate their existing 10-Gbps cabling infrastructure to
40 Gbps with little capital investment.
