As data center and enterprise networks scale beyond 40G, organizations need a cost-effective upgrade path that avoids recabling or full infrastructure overhauls.
The QSFP28 40/100G SR1.2 Bidi transceiver enables a practical, phased migration from 40G to 100G over duplex MMF. It connects a 40G proprietary interface on one end to a 100G SR1.2 standard interface on the other, allowing you to upgrade one side of an existing 40G SR4 link without replacing the entire infrastructure.
As the first third-party alternative supporting the SR1.2 standard, it offers a more flexible option beyond OEM-only solutions. With broad multi-vendor compatibility and faster availability, it helps reduce lead times while supporting evolving network demands.
