Core Optical Parameters

To ensure a bit-error-rate (BER) better than 5E-5 (pre-FEC) over a 10km span, the QSFP28 100G BIDI 10km must adhere to rigorous MSA SFF-8665 and IEEE 802.3bm standards. The following parameters define the operational window for Univiso engineering grade optics:

Multi-Vendor Interoperability Protocol

One of the primary challenges in deploying 100G BIDI technology is the "vendor lock" often encountered in host switch management interfaces. Univiso's 100G-BX10 transceivers utilize an unlocked EEPROM architecture, allowing for seamless integration with varied network operating systems (NOS).

• CAUI-4 Electrical Interface: Fully compliant with 4x25G electrical lanes for high-speed switch backplanes.

• EEPROM Customization: Supports vendor-specific coding for Cisco, Arista, Juniper, and Mellanox platforms.

• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM): Real-time tracking of laser bias current, temperature, and optical power via I2C.

Thermal Management & Physical Constraints

Maintaining signal integrity over a 10km BIDI link requires strict adherence to thermal design power (TDP) limits. High-density edge switches often face airflow constraints; therefore, our 100G BIDI modules are engineered to operate within a Power Class 3 envelope (max 3.5W - 4.0W).

Conclusion: A Uniform Standard for 100G

By strictly following the QSFP28 100G BIDI 10km design specification, network architects can confidently deploy high-bandwidth services while reducing physical fiber overhead. Whether aggregating 8K video feeds or interconnecting distributed data centers, the transition to single-fiber 100G is the most efficient path forward for 2026 and beyond.
