The 100G-SRBD (or “BIDI”) transceiver is a type of optical transceiver that can transmit and receive 100G data over a pair of multimode fibers using bidirectional technology. Like the QSFP-100G-SWDM4 transceiver, it also provides 100Gbs bandwidth over standard duplex multi-mode fiber. However, unlike the SWDM4 transceiver (which transmits 4 x 25Gbps wavelengths out of the Tx port, and receives 4 x 25Gbps wavelengths on the Rx port), each optical port on the SRBD contains both a transmitter and receiver, running at full duplex 50Gb/s over a single fiber. The two ports of the QSFP-100G-SRBD provide an aggregate 100Gb/s of bandwidth. The QSFP-100G-SRBD is supported on all Arista QSFP 100G ports, and can be used for links up to 70m of OM3 or up to 100m of OM4 multi-mode fiber.

What Is the Minimum Bend Radius of an Optical Fiber?
The minimum bend radius of an optical fiber is defined as the smallest radius to which the fiber can be bent while still maintaining normal transmission of optical signals. In practical terms, it is the minimum curvature radius that the fiber can endure without causing excessive signal loss, modal dispersion,
AEC Active Cable Testing Solution – Deciphering AEC Performance Step by Step
With the continuous expansion of data centers and the increasing demand for high-performance computing, the AEC (Active Electrical Cable) has emerged as an effective high-speed, short-distance transmission solution. Major cloud service providers—such as Google, AWS, and Microsoft—have already embarked on large-scale deployments of AEC, while hardware manufacturers like Nvidia have
Why Do 400G/100G Optical Ports in Switches Require Forward Error Correction (FEC)?
Introduction Optical networks require the use of Forward Error Correction (FEC) to guarantee reliable communication. Similar to how a reader may overlook a single spelling mistake in a text but struggle when errors accumulate, digital transmissions—encoded as sequences of “0”s and “1”s—are subject to inevitable signal attenuation and bit errors.
