Add-On QSFP28-100GB-ZR4-LP-AO 100G ZR4 Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On QSFP28-100GB-ZR4-LP-AO is a 100Gbps transceiver module designed for extended-reach data center and enterprise network interconnects. It enables 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber (SMF) up to 80 kilometers, utilizing a specific wavelength band and low power consumption. This module is ideal for long-haul links where signal integrity and distance are critical, ensuring reliable data transmission between geographically dispersed network points. Its MSA compliance means it adheres to industry standards for interoperability.

Compatibility

This QSFP28 transceiver is built to MSA standards, ensuring broad compatibility with network equipment that supports the QSFP28 form factor and 100GBASE-ZR4 specifications. It integrates seamlessly into switches, routers, and network interface cards from various vendors that accept MSA-compliant modules. The specific wavelength range (1295nm to 1309nm) and LC connector type are key compatibility factors.

Installation Notes

The QSFP28-100GB-ZR4-LP-AO features an LC duplex connector, requiring standard LC fiber optic patch cords. Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) is supported, allowing real-time access to operating parameters such as optical power, temperature, and voltage. Ensure the operating environment stays within the 0 to 70°C range for optimal performance and longevity. Laser Class 1 compliance means it is safe for use under normal operating conditions.
