Description
The Cisco QSFP-40G-BD-RX is a 40-Gigabit BiDirectional (BiDi) monitor QSFP transceiver designed specifically for passive optical link monitoring in high-performance data center and network visibility environments. Built for use with data broker and link monitoring platforms, this module operates exclusively on the receive path, ensuring zero signal transmission and eliminating any risk of interference with live production traffic.
Utilizing a duplex LC connector over multimode fiber, the QSFP-40G-BD-RX supports short-reach monitoring deployments while enabling reuse of existing 10G multimode fiber infrastructure. It is ideal for environments requiring secure, non-intrusive traffic monitoring such as network analytics, security inspection, and performance optimization.
