Applications and Deployment

This BiDi interface is useful where only one fiber strand is available between two sites or racks. It must be paired with the complementary wavelength direction: one end transmits on the wavelength that the other end receives. Verify the paired part number, connector polish and fiber plant before installation, and measure link loss against the specified optical budget.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 100G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP28 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

HPE Aruba Compatibility and Testing

The module is programmed for equipment that recognizes the QSFP-BX20-100G part number. Before shipment, we check EEPROM identification, link establishment and diagnostic readouts, then verify transmit and receiver performance against the stated optical specifications. Host hardware and software revisions can affect third-party module acceptance, so customers can provide the switch model and software release for a compatibility check before ordering.

Ordering Information

Quote HT part number QSFP-BX20-100G together with OEM part number QSFP-BX20-100G and the required quantity. Standard modules use our factory label; neutral labels, customer-branded packaging and project-specific compatibility coding are available on request. For mixed-brand installations, select the corresponding brand-specific page instead of assuming one EEPROM version fits every platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original HPE Aruba transceiver?

No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies QSFP-BX20-100G, not an original HPE Aruba-branded module.

Which fiber and connector are required?

Use Simplex LC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 20km, 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.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Each unit undergoes optical performance checks, compatibility verification and visual inspection before packing. Modules are supplied in protective blister trays or anti-static packaging and then cartoned for transport. Custom labels and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard products normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
