QSFP-40G-BD-RX Overview
The Cisco QSFP-40G-BD-RX is a 40GBASE-SR-BiDi QSFP optic module designed for 40GbE connectivity over duplex multimode fiber. This monitor-mode module supports BiDi transmission up to 100m on OM3 fiber and 150m on OM4/OM5 fiber.
The QSFP-40G-BD-RX allows passive optical tap monitoring of 40GbE BiDi links. It is used only in the monitoring path and does not transmit any active signal. This eliminates interference with the live link while still providing real-time visibility.
With its duplex LC connector interface, the QSFP-40G-BD-RX enables monitoring of existing 10GbE infrastructure. Paired with the Cisco QSFP-40G-SR-BD transceiver, it provides an efficient way to leverage legacy MMF links for 40G migration.
