SkyOptics Unveils 80km BIDI QSFP28 Transceiver for Long-Haul 100G Networking

SHENZHEN, CHINA – August 29, 2025 – ShenZhen Sky Optics Technology Co., LTD (SkyOptics), a leading innovator in optical communications, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking 80km BIDI QSFP28 ZR4 Transceiver. This state-of-the-art module is engineered to provide a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for long-distance 100G data transmission, addressing the critical needs of telecommunications providers and data center operators.

The new transceiver utilizes a single fiber for bidirectional (BIDI) transmission, effectively doubling the capacity of existing fiber infrastructure without the need for additional cable runs. It achieves an impressive reach of up to 80km, a significant advancement for 100G networks. The module is built on a high-performance platform featuring LAN WDM EML+SOA technology, ensuring robust signal integrity and superior power budget. With a remarkable receiver sensitivity of -28dBm, the transceiver maintains reliable data links over extended distances, even in challenging network conditions.

"The demand for long-reach 100G connectivity is expanding rapidly, driven by the need to interconnect data centers and scale metropolitan area networks," said Mr. Jacky Lee, VP of Distribution Sales at SkyOptics. "Our new 80km BIDI QSFP28 ZR4 Transceiver is a direct response to this market need. By leveraging BIDI technology, we're helping our customers reduce their fiber costs and simplify network deployment while delivering the performance and reliability they've come to expect from SkyOptics."

The 100GBASE-ZR4 compliant module is fully hot-pluggable and compatible with a wide range of networking equipment. This plug-and-play functionality, combined with the module's advanced features, makes it an ideal solution for telecom, cable MSO, and enterprise networks seeking to upgrade to 100G over long distances. As with all SkyOptics products, each transceiver undergoes rigorous pre-shipment testing to ensure industry-leading reliability and performance.
