Add-On QSFP28-100GB-SR4-40M-AO 100GBASE-SR4 Multimode Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On QSFP28-100GB-SR4-40M-AO is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module designed for short-reach connections over multimode fiber. It utilizes an 850nm wavelength and MPO/MTP connector to achieve a maximum link distance of 40 meters, making it suitable for inter-rack or intra-data center connectivity where high bandwidth is critical. This transceiver adheres to MSA standards and TAA compliance, ensuring compatibility and suitability for government and enterprise network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This QSFP28 transceiver is designed to be compatible with network devices supporting the 100GBASE-SR4 standard, including switches, routers, and network interface cards from major vendors. It is MSA compliant, meaning it adheres to the Multi-Source Agreement specifications for QSFP28 modules, ensuring broad interoperability. Specific compatibility extends to any network equipment that accepts industry-standard SR4 QSFP28 modules.

Installation Notes

Proper installation requires careful handling of the fiber optic connectors to avoid contamination or damage. Ensure the MPO/MTP connector is clean before insertion. The module is hot-pluggable, allowing for installation or removal without powering down the host device. Verify that the host device's QSFP28 port is clean and free of debris. The maximum link distance of 40 meters is achievable with OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber cabling.
