QSFP-40G-BIDI-SR-MM850H3C QSFP-40G-BIDI-SR-MM850 Compatible 40G QSFP+ SR Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing QSFP-40G-BIDI-SR-MM850, this HT-manufactured QSFP+ module delivers 40G transmission at 850/880/910/940nm. Its rated reach is 300m on OM3 / 400m on OM4, with Duplex LC/UPC as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support high-density deployments balance optical performance, port access and thermal planning, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

Applications and Optical Link Design
Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The Duplex LC/UPC interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 40G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP+ housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
The multimode channel should use the fiber grade associated with the stated 300m on OM3 / 400m on OM4 reach. Keep the Duplex LC/UPC end faces clean and avoid tight bends. Different multimode standards are not interchangeable merely because they share a connector.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -7.5~3dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-9.1dBm; the stated optical power budget is 1.6dB. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
High-Density Port and Thermal Planning
In a densely populated chassis, connector access and airflow form part of the optical-link design. Confirm that neighboring modules and patch leads leave room for latch operation, and include listed power consumption in the host thermal budget. Assess port density together with fiber management. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 41.2Gbps (4x 10.3125Gbps), wavelength 850/880/910/940nm, rated reach 300m on OM3 / 400m on OM4.
Ordering Information
When ordering, specify QSFP-40G-BIDI-SR-MM850, QSFP-BIDI-40G, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
H3C Compatibility and Factory Testing
The module is checked for host recognition as QSFP-40G-BIDI-SR-MM850, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original H3C transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies QSFP-40G-BIDI-SR-MM850, not an original H3C-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Duplex LC/UPC with MMF. The specified maximum reach is 300m on OM3 / 400m on OM4, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
