Fortinet compatible FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI Description
EdgeOptic's FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI compatible is a Fortinet-coded version of the EdgeOptic BIDI-40G-QSFP-150 multi-vendor 40G BiDi QSFP+ transceiver. It reaches 150 meters over OM3, OM4, or OM5 multi-mode fiber through a single duplex LC/UPC connector pair, using dual wavelengths at 850 and 900 nm to carry transmit and receive signals on the same duplex fiber pair. Fortinet's Transceivers datasheet catalogs it as a 40GE QSFP+ short range BiDi module. Using one duplex LC pair instead of an 8-fiber MPO link reduces the fiber count needed per link, which matters when cabling plant capacity is tight.
The link uses a VCSEL transmitter and a PIN photodiode, with an average link budget of 2 dB across a transmit wavelength band of 832 to 868 nm on channel 1 and 882 to 918 nm on channel 2. Launch power runs -4 to 5 dBm per lane, and receive sensitivity spans -6 to 3 dBm per lane with a 3 dBm overload point. DDM diagnostics report per-lane Tx and Rx power. The module operates over a 0 to 70 C case temperature range on a single 3.3V supply, with a storage range of -40 to 85 C and a 5 to 85% humidity tolerance, and meets IEEE 802.3ba, RoHS, and QSFP+ MSA (SFF-8436) requirements.
Do not confuse this part with the FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR, a separate Fortinet SKU built around 40GBASE-SR4 optics on an 8-fiber MPO connector rather than duplex LC BiDi. Fortinet's FortiDDoS 5.7.4 handbook documents the FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI for use in E-Series 4x QSFP ports, and notes it is not compatible with the E-Series Optical Bypass Module; check the supported transceiver list for the specific FortiGate or FortiSwitch model before ordering. Fortinet applies a best effort policy to third-party transceivers: the switch does not block the optic, but an uncoded module can trigger a 'This transceiver is not certified by Fortinet' warning. EdgeOptic's module carries Fortinet-coded EEPROM, so that warning does not appear.
See the EdgeOptic BIDI-40G-QSFP-150 product page for the underlying transceiver and additional vendor-coded options. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, the FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI compatible ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fortinet support third-party (non-Fortinet-branded) transceivers?
Fortinet applies a best effort support policy to third-party transceivers: the switch does not block the optic, but an uncoded module can trigger a 'This transceiver is not certified by Fortinet' warning message. EdgeOptic's FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI compatible carries Fortinet-coded EEPROM, so that warning does not appear.
What is the difference between the FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI and the FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR?
The FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI is the duplex LC BiDi variant covered on this page, built to reach 150 meters over OM3, OM4, or OM5 fiber through a single duplex LC connector. The FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR, without the BIDI suffix, is a separate Fortinet SKU: a 40GBASE-SR4 module that uses an 8-fiber MPO connector instead of duplex LC. Confirm the connector type and full part number before ordering, since the two SKUs are not interchangeable.
Which Fortinet platforms list the FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI as a supported transceiver?
Fortinet's FortiDDoS 5.7.4 handbook documents the FG-TRAN-QSFP+SR-BIDI for use in E-Series 4x QSFP ports, and states it is not compatible with the E-Series Optical Bypass Module. For FortiGate and FortiSwitch platforms, check the specific model's supported transceiver list, since Fortinet publishes platform support per switch and firewall family rather than one universal list.
