Yes, there are some 100G transceivers that allow the use of standard duplex multi-mode fiber. For example, the 100G BiDi (Bidirectional) transceivers use a single fiber to transmit and receive data at full-duplex 50Gb/s, and can support distances up to 70m over OM3 or 100m over OM4 fiber. Another example is the 100G SWDM4 (Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transceivers, which use four wavelengths to multiplex data over a single fiber, and can support distances up to 70m over OM3 or 100m over OM4 fiber. Both types of transceivers have LC duplex connectors, which are compatible with the standard multi-mode fiber infrastructure.
