Which connector type is used on the HPE X150 100G QSFP28 LC BiDi module?

The HPE X150 100G QSFP28 LC BiDi 100m MM Transceiver uses an LC interface in a BiDi configuration. This supports bidirectional transmission over multimode fiber using LC terminations. Environments that already rely on LC terminated multimode cabling can integrate this module without changing connector types on patch panels or fiber runs.

What is the supported distance for the HPE JQ344A on multimode fiber?

The HPE Networking X150 100G QSFP28 LC BiDi 100m MM Transceiver is specified for operation up to 100 meters over multimode fiber. It is intended for short reach links such as those commonly found inside data centers or within campus buildings where 100 meter spans are sufficient for 100G connectivity.

Is the HPE JQ344A suitable for multimode fiber deployments?

Yes, the HPE JQ344A is a multimode optical transceiver. It is described as a 100G QSFP28 LC BiDi 100m MM Transceiver, indicating multimode operation. This aligns it with existing multimode cabling plants and makes it appropriate for short distance 100G links within the specified 100 meter reach over multimode fiber.

What application class does the HPE JQ344A belong to?

The HPE JQ344A is categorized under 100GBASE SR2 BiDi, LC duplex, 100 m multimode transceivers. This class is designed for short reach 100G applications using bidirectional multimode optics and LC duplex connections. It fits network designs that require high speed 100G links over relatively short multimode distances.

Product overview

The HPE Networking X150 100G QSFP28 LC BiDi 100m MM Transceiver JQ344A is a 100 Gigabit optical transceiver designed for environments that use QSFP28 form factor modules. It supports 100G connectivity and uses an LC interface in a bidirectional BiDi configuration over multimode fiber. The module is specified for distances up to 100 meters on multimode cabling, making it suitable for short reach links. As a QSFP28 100G Ethernet optical transceiver in the 100GBASE SR2 BiDi class, it fits into network designs that require compact, high speed interfaces. This transceiver is categorized for multimode fiber deployments where LC duplex connectivity is preferred. Procurement teams can align this module with infrastructure that already supports QSFP28 slots and LC multimode fiber runs within 100 meter spans.
