Add-On Q28-100GP4-BXD3327-10-I-AR-AO ARISTA COMP QSFP28 LC Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On Q28-100GP4-BXD3327-10-I-AR-AO is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) connections up to 10 kilometers. It utilizes LC connectors and features a BX (Bi-Directional) design, transmitting and receiving data over a single fiber strand to maximize port density and reduce cabling infrastructure. This module is critical for high-bandwidth uplinks in enterprise data centers, campus networks, and service provider environments where reliable, high-speed connectivity is paramount.

Compatibility

This QSFP28 transceiver is compatible with network devices supporting the QSFP28 form factor and 100G Ethernet standards, including Arista Networks switches and routers. It is designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cabling terminated with LC connectors. Verify compatibility with your specific network hardware vendor's compatibility matrix before deployment.

Installation Notes

Ensure the fiber optic port and the module's LC connector are clean before insertion. The module draws power from the host device; no external power supply is required. Handle the module by its pull tab to avoid touching the optical connector or electrical contacts. The BX design requires paired transmitters and receivers on each end of the fiber link, operating on different wavelengths.
