Description

The PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-BIDI is a 100GBASE-BIDI QSFP28 optical transceiver for Palo Alto Networks firewalls. It uses LC connectors over multimode fibre, with a reach of up to 70m on OM3 and up to 100m on OM4, making it suited to short-reach 100G links within data centre and campus core deployments.

The bidirectional design carries both transmit and receive wavelengths over a single fibre pair, which helps make use of existing multimode cabling when upgrading links to 100G speeds.

Features

- Bidirectional 100G optical link over multimode fibre
- QSFP28 form factor for high-density 100G ports
- LC connector for standard duplex fibre patching
- Designed for use with Palo Alto Networks firewalls
