  • 100% OEM compatibility guaranteed across all router and switch platforms
  • Pre-configured application code ensures identical fit and function
  • Unique serialisation eliminates network communication conflicts
  • Fully MSA compliant for universal interoperability
  • Works with mixed-brand networks for flexible deployments

40GBASE-SR-BiDi QSFP+ Transceiver

The Axiom AXG97146 is a 40GBASE-SR-BiDi QSFP+ transceiver built for short-range bidirectional links in enterprise and data-centre switches. It targets network engineers who need a single-fibre 40 Gbit/s connection without replacing existing cabling plants.

MSA-compliant replacement for OEM modules

This module replaces costly original-equipment transceivers while keeping full multi-source agreement compliance. The jump is worth it when budgets demand a direct drop-in part that carries the same part number and serialization to avoid port conflicts across mixed-vendor fabrics.

Hot-pluggable QSFP+ form factor

Installation follows the standard hot-pluggable QSFP+ procedure: insert until the latch clicks, then verify link LEDs. The most common issue is a mismatched wavelength pair on the opposite end, which prevents the bidirectional link from establishing.

Questions about this item

Does the 40GBASE-SR-BiDi QSFP+ transceiver fit a standard QSFP+ cage?

Yes, the module complies with the multi-sourcing agreement (MSA) so it fits any standard QSFP+ cage used in compatible switches and routers.

What is the critical step when installing the AXG97146 module?

Insert the transceiver fully until the latch clicks, then remove the dust caps and connect the fibre patch cord; skipping the latch click is the common error.

When should the AXG97146 transceiver be replaced?

Replace the module if link errors rise, optical power drops below the receiver threshold, or the switch logs CRC faults on the 40G port.
