Bidirectional transceiver technology, as the name suggests, allows for bi-directional communication over a single fiber-optic cable using two different wavelengths. This technology offers several benefits, including:
- Reduced Fiber Requirements: Bidirectional transceivers allow for the transmission and reception of data over a single fiber-optic cable. This means that the number of fiber cables required to set up a network can be reduced, thereby saving on fiber-optic cable costs.
- Increased Data Transfer Rates: Bidirectional transceivers can transmit and receive data over two different wavelengths. This means that they can support higher data transfer rates compared to traditional transceiver modules.
- Improved Scalability: With bidirectional transceiver technology, it is possible to scale up network capacity by increasing the number of transceivers. This is because bidirectional transceivers allow for a more efficient use of existing fiber-optic cables.
- Enhanced Network Performance: Bidirectional transceivers offer enhanced network performance by allowing for simultaneous bi-directional data transmission and reception over a single fiber-optic cable.
- Reduced Power Consumption: Bidirectional transceiver technology can help to reduce power consumption by allowing for the use of fewer fiber-optic cables, which in turn reduces the number of switches and routers required to manage the network.
The benefits of bidirectional transceiver technology include reduced fiber requirements, increased data transfer rates, improved scalability, enhanced network performance, and reduced power consumption.
Network Protocol SupportThe 845972-B21 HPE 100GB QSFP28 Bidirectional Transceiver supports a range of network protocols, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, and SONET/SDH.
Ethernet is a widely used protocol for connecting devices in local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). The 845972-B21 transceiver supports Ethernet at speeds up to 100 Gbps.
Fibre Channel is a high-speed storage area network (SAN) protocol used for connecting servers and storage devices. The 845972-B21 transceiver supports Fibre Channel at speeds up to 128 Gbps.
InfiniBand is a high-speed interconnect technology used in high-performance computing (HPC) and data center environments. The 845972-B21 transceiver supports InfiniBand at speeds up to 100 Gbps.
SONET/SDH is a legacy telecommunications protocol used for transmitting voice and data traffic over fiber-optic networks. The 845972-B21 transceiver supports SONET/SDH at speeds up to 10 Gbps.
The support for these various network protocols makes the 845972-B21 transceiver a versatile option for use in different network environments, including data centers, telecommunications, and high-performance computing applications.
Environmental ConsiderationsThe 845972-B21 HPE 100GB QSFP28 Bidirectional Transceiver has certain environmental considerations that need to be taken into account to ensure its proper functioning and longevity.
Firstly, the operating temperature range for the transceiver module is between 0°C and 70°C. Any temperatures outside of this range can impact the performance and reliability of the module.
Secondly, the transceiver should be kept away from excessive moisture or humidity as this can cause damage to the electrical components of the module. In addition, the module should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of ultraviolet light.
Thirdly, the 845972-B21 transceiver should be used with fiber optic cables that are compliant with the appropriate standards for the intended use. It is important to ensure that the fiber optic cables are clean and free from any contaminants that could impact the performance of the module.
Lastly, the transceiver should be installed and maintained by qualified personnel who are familiar with the installation procedures and safety precautions necessary for handling fiber optic equipment. Proper handling and installation can ensure the longevity and reliable performance of the 845972-B21 transceiver module.

About Refurbished Products
Warranty
ALLHDD guarantees that the products will not have defects in material that will affect the product's functionality during the Standard Warranty Period. The warranty period starts when the merchandise/items from our warehouse.
What does ALLHDD.Com warranty cover?
30-days to 3 years warranty:
Replacement or refund. In the case of material defects, we will try to replace the product first. The product will be replaced before the expiration of the original warranty. For any failure of hardware, if we cannot process the replacement of the product(s)/model(s), we will refund the original selling/invoiced price. The shipping costs and sales tax, if any, are non-refundable. ALLHDD retains the right to decide whether the item(s) will process for replacement or refund.
What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
