Add-On QSFP-100G-LR4S20I-AO Optical Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On QSFP-100G-LR4S20I-AO is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet optical transceiver module designed for extended reach data center and campus network interconnects. It leverages four channels of 25Gbps data transmission over a single mode fiber optic cable, enabling high-bandwidth, long-distance links up to 20 kilometers. This module is critical for connecting core network switches, routers, or servers across dispersed locations where standard SR or LR transceivers fall short.

Compatibility

This QSFP28 transceiver is engineered for compatibility with network devices supporting the QSFP28 form factor and the 100GBASE-LR4S standard. It is suitable for integration into Cisco Nexus series switches, Arista Networks switches, Juniper Networks routers, and other enterprise-grade networking hardware that accepts third-party optics meeting MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards. Verify your specific switch model's compatibility list for third-party QSFP28 modules.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful handling of the fiber optic connectors to prevent contamination. Ensure the fiber optic cable is clean and free of debris before insertion. The module is designed for hot-swapping, allowing installation or removal without powering down the host equipment. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.
