Description
This product can support 100Gb/s bit rates. It is a parallel Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP28) Bi- Direction optical module. The module integrates four host electrical data into two optical lanes (by Dual Wavelength VCSEL Bi-Directional Optical Interface, 850nm and 900nm) to allow optical communication over a 2-fiber duplex LC optical multi-mode fiber. Reversely, on the receiver side, the module de-multiplexes 2 sets of optical input signal and converts them to 4 channels of electrical data.
