Description

The QSFP-100G-SR4-S is a 100 Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP28) transceiver designed for high-speed 100G Ethernet applications over multimode fiber (MMF). This transceiver is commonly used for data center interconnects, high-performance networking, and enterprise networking environments where 100GbE is required.

Key Features:

• Data Rate: 100 Gbps (100 Gigabit Ethernet)

• Wavelength: 850nm, designed for multimode fiber applications.

• Reach:

  • Up to 70 meters on OM3 multimode fiber

  • Up to 100 meters on OM4 multimode fiber

• Connector Type: MTP/MPO connector (for multimode fiber cables)

• Form Factor: QSFP28 (the latest 100G version of the QSFP form factor)

• Hot-Swappable: The transceiver is designed to be inserted and removed without powering down the device, making it flexible and easy to manage.

Applications:

• Data Center Interconnects (DCI): Used to connect switches, routers, and other network devices within data centers, providing high-speed 100GbE links between devices.

• Cloud Computing: Enabling high-speed data transfer between servers, storage, and compute nodes in cloud infrastructure.

• Enterprise Networks: For high-capacity connections between core switches, routers, and other network elements, where 100GbE bandwidth is required for critical applications.

• High-Performance Computing (HPC): Used for connecting servers in supercomputing or data-intensive environments where low-latency, high-bandwidth links are essential.

Benefits:

• High-Speed Performance: Supports 100GbE for high-bandwidth applications, ensuring faster data transmission and minimizing delays.

• Long Reach: The 70-100 meter reach on OM3/OM4 multimode fiber makes it suitable for medium-range data center interconnects.

• Cost-Effective: The SR4 transceiver leverages multimode fiber, which is typically more affordable than single-mode fiber for short-to-medium distance links.

• Flexible: The MTP/MPO connectors provide flexibility for a variety of configurations and enable high-density connections.

• Low Latency: Designed for low-latency communication, perfect for high-performance applications like real-time data processing and large-scale data transfer.
