Cisco QSFP-40G-BD-RX= Transceiver Module – 40GBASE-SR BiDi Monitor QSFP+
The Cisco QSFP-40G-BD-RX= is a 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ optical monitoring module designed for 40GBASE-SR BiDi applications. Unlike a conventional bidirectional transceiver, the BD-RX is a receive-only monitor module intended for use in network monitoring paths.
The module uses a duplex LC connector and multimode fiber, allowing monitoring of 40GbE BiDi links over the same two-strand MMF infrastructure. Cisco specifies support for up to 100 meters on OM3 and up to 150 meters on OM4/OM5 fiber.

40G BiDi Optical Monitoring
The Cisco QSFP-40G-BD-RX= is specifically designed for the monitoring path of a 40G BiDi optical link. Cisco documentation describes the module as a monitor optic that does not transmit an optical signal, helping prevent interference with the live network connection.
Duplex Multimode Fiber
The module uses a duplex LC interface and two-strand multimode fiber. Cisco specifies a maximum reach of approximately 100m over OM3 and 150m over OM4/OM5, subject to the optical link budget and connector losses.
Applications
- 40GbE network monitoring
- Passive optical tap monitoring
- Cisco Nexus Data Broker deployments
- Data center traffic monitoring
- 40G BiDi link analysis
- Network visibility and troubleshooting
- Security and traffic-analysis infrastructure
- Optical monitoring of duplex MMF links
Compatibility
The Cisco QSFP-40G-BD-RX= is intended for compatible Cisco 40GbE monitoring platforms and network visibility solutions. Cisco documentation specifically identifies the module for use with link-monitoring hardware such as Cisco Nexus Data Broker.
This module should not be treated as a conventional 40G BiDi transceiver. The QSFP-40G-SR-BD is the active bidirectional optic, while the QSFP-40G-BD-RX= is the receive-only monitoring module.
Optical Specifications
The QSFP-40G-BD-RX= operates across the 832–918nm wavelength range. Cisco specifies receive power from approximately -6dBm to +5dBm per lane and a power consumption of approximately 3.5W.
