Until recently, drop-in upgrades from 10G to 100G were primarily possible in traditional duplex fiber setups. However, there are now alternatives available for upgrading the bandwidth of existing fiber infrastructure, specifically for single fiber upgrades of 10G bidirectional links to 100G.

Skylane Optics has achieved a significant advancement in single-mode fiber architectures with our 100G bidirectional transceivers. With an extensive range of QSFP28 100G Bidis available, we can now offer single fiber 100G connectivity for links up to 40km.

Introducing the newest member of our product lineup, the QSFP28 ER1 Bidi. This cutting-edge transceiver utilizes the existing single-fiber infrastructure to establish 100G connections, reaching impressive distances of up to 40km.
