10Gb BIDI for MMF on OM4 for short hauls (10Gb on single fiber strand of MMF)

Anyone have any knowledge of whether there exists such a transceiver that will allow 10gb BIDI on MMF runs that works in Cisco devices?  I have Gb transceivers but have not found any 10Gb. I am looking for optics that I could use on OM4 MMF for short hauls like 300-400M. I am thinking of trying some BIDI LR at 1300nm to see what happens since SFP+ LRM can be used on MMF for short hauls up to 300M and the wavelength is close. 40Gb is not an option and I know they have optics for that. FS.COM doesn't appear to have a solution for me....maybe technically it can't be done or done cheaply.  Thanks

Hi

These are all the 10Gb SFP+ ones supported by Cisco and there is none for MMF.

If you can give it a try, without big spending on the budget, using with SMF BD on MMF Fiber:

Not exactly the same situation, but seems to work. 

From my own experience, it works...sometimes :)
