Cisco 100GBase-BiDi QSFP+ 100m Transceiver Module

The Cisco QSFP-40/100-SRBD= is a plug-in QSFP+ transceiver that delivers up to 100 Gbps Ethernet connectivity without demanding additional rack space or complex cabling changes. It supports both 100 Gigabit and 40 Gigabit Ethernet, so network teams can upgrade bandwidth on critical links while keeping the same module in place.

This module integrates smoothly with Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP hardware, letting administrators expand or refresh switch ports with minimal configuration work. By operating over Ethernet 100GBase-BiDi and 40GBase-BiDi standards, it works with duplex multimode fiber already common in many facilities, which helps protect existing infrastructure investments.

With OM4 compliance and LC connectors, the transceiver maintains full performance across fiber runs up to 100 meters. Data centers, enterprise core networks, service provider PoPs, and high-performance computing clusters can all benefit from this reach, whether the goal is spine-to-leaf aggregation or rapid east-west traffic inside a server farm.

The design focuses on high port density and low power consumption, two factors that help reduce operating costs in environments where every watt and every rack unit matters. Cisco backs the unit with a 90-day warranty, offering added confidence for deployment in production networks.
