Add-On Q28-100GP4-BXU2733-10-AR-AO ARISTA COMP QSFP28 LC 100G-BX 10KM SMF

Overview

The Add-On Q28-100GP4-BXU2733-10-AR-AO is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 transceiver module designed for extended-reach single-mode fiber (SMF) deployments. It utilizes Bi-Directional (BX) technology, transmitting and receiving on a single fiber strand, and terminates with an LC connector. This module is engineered for high-density data center interconnects and backbone aggregation where reliable 100Gbps connectivity over distances up to 10 kilometers is required. Its specific design targets compatibility with Arista networking equipment, ensuring seamless integration into existing infrastructure.

Compatibility

This QSFP28 transceiver is specified for compatibility with Arista networking platforms. It is designed to interface with switches, routers, and network interface cards that support the QSFP28 form factor and 100GBASE-BX standards. Verification with your specific Arista model or series is recommended to confirm full interoperability, particularly for firmware or feature support.

Installation Notes

The Q28-100GP4-BXU2733-10-AR-AO requires a clean fiber optic environment for installation. Ensure the LC connector end is free from dust and debris before insertion. The module operates within standard temperature ranges for enterprise networking equipment. Proper handling to avoid static discharge is advised. The BX technology means that the transmit (Tx) port on one end must be connected to the receive (Rx) port on the other, and vice-versa, to establish a link.
