I got in the meantime from FS.com support (Customer Support: +49 (0) 8165 8090 517) an generic compatible BiDi Modul #75335
This has another coding and works with the GS348T Switch.
Here the technical support output of my GS348T Switch with inserted SFP-GE-BX BiDi Modul #75335:

Netgear does not offer any BiDi modules, so "Netgear compatible" relates to SFP (or SFP+) modules with a Netgear vendor and some "fake" model number in the flash.
It's well possible that certain specific features and specialities might not work, because Netgear does not offer such modules, and doesn't test such modules. I remeber some models where for example copper Ethernet modules were not workable, because the switches had not been specified and tested accordingly.
Lack of a shell access, we customers don't have much options here. Sometimes some fiber module details are visible in the diagnostics file.
Trouble is that either way Netgear does not support these module types, not even any equivalent Netgear models. Tomorrow, with the next update, what appears to works today can fail any time.
The only chance is that Netgear does pick up this issue, and does spend time and effort on it. @YeZ please.
