100G QSFP28
100G QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28) optical transceivers are widely used by Internet Service Providers, Mobile Operators and Data Centers globally as QSFP28 transceiver has become dominant form factor of 100G. EDGE Optic’s compatible QSFP28 transceiver portfolio consists of transceivers which can operate over Single Mode or Multi Mode optical fiber, can be used for connections from couple of meters up to 80 kilometers and are suitable for 100G Ethernet, Optical Transport Network OTU4 and 128G Generation 6 Fiber Channel applications. Additionally, Single Fiber 100G QSFP28 transceivers are available for 10km to 40km connecting distances. Our QSFP28 transceiver portfolio is fully compliant to industry standards (QSFP28 MSA) and can work in 80% of networking equipment, where is not implemented special algorithm for protection against third party modules. However – we have accumulated deep expertise in custom-encoded firmware for our 100G QSFP28 portfolio in order to make it work in almost any brand equipment.
100G Ethernet QSFP28 Transceivers:
100G Ethernet QSFP28 Transceivers are designed for 100G Ethernet application using fixed 103.25 Gbps data rate, comprehending 100G SR4, BiDi SR4, LR4, ER4 Lite, ZR4 and even ZR4+ which are defined by IEEE 802.3ba/802.3bm, 2km PSM4, which is defined by 100G PSM4 MSA and CWDM4/CLR4 modules which are defined by 100G CWDM4 MSA and 100G CLR4 Alliance. Additionally here are 2 special modules: 100G QSFP28 SR4 Low Power module which is useful in modern data center environments and can help to save power and lower heat dissipation and there is 100G QSFP28 LR4 Long Haul (20km) module which is extended reach version of 100G LR4.
Short Range 100G Ethernet QSFP28:
Extended Range, 80km (ZR) and 100km (ZR+) 100G Ethernet QSFP28:
Single Fiber 100G Ethernet QSFP28 Transceivers:
100G Single Fiber modules, sometimes referred to as 100G BIDI, are available to network architects that seek to maximize their Long Range and Extended Range 100G Ethernet connections by saving dark fiber resources. If you are planning to deploy 100G BIDI in existing 100G QSFP28 infrastructure which has NRZ modulation support – 100G BIDI NRZ modules are the ones to choose from. However, if your networking grear support PAM4 modulation and RS (544,514) FEC technology, the 100G BIDI PAM4 LR1 and ER1 modules are the best options for your 100G Single Fiber links.
100G BIDI PAM4 Ethernet QSFP28:
100G DWDM QSFP28 PAM4 Transceiver:
100G DWDM QSFP28 PAM4 transceiver enables multiple simultaneous 100G Ethernet long-haul links over double or single fiber in passive DWDM scenario. 100G DWDM PAM4 transceivers have an integrated gearbox for converting 4×25.78 Gbps CAUI-4 electrical signals to a single wavelength 100G PAM4 optical signal. When combined with DCM (Dispersion Compensation Module) and EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier), the maximum link distance can reach up to 120 kilometers.
100G xWDM O-Band QSFP28 PAM4 Transceiver:
Because of O-Band very low dispersion parameters, 100G QSFP28 O-band xWDM optical transceivers can launch multiple parallel 100G Ethernet links over standard G.652 single mode optical fiber with distances up to 30km, eliminating the need for additional amplification and dispersion compensation equipment. Transceivers are built on a single-wavelength 100G O-band PAM4 architecture with 16 wavelength variations (1295.56-1312.58nm) at 200GHz spacing.
OTU4/128G Fiber Channel QSFP28 Transceivers:
OTU4/128G Fiber Channel module chipset supports multi rate speeds: 103.125-112.2 Gbps and such applications as 100G Ethernet (103.125Gbps), Optical Transport Network OTU4 4l1-9D1F (112 Gbps) and 128G Generation 6 Fiber Channel (112.2 Gbps).
Single Lambda QSFP28 Transceivers:
Single Lambda QSFP28 Transceivers transport 100G Ethernet (103.125Gbps) per optical channel using PAM4 modulation over pair of single-mode optical fiber. Ability to transport 100G Ethernet over single lane, comparing to current mainstream 100G modules which transport 25G per lane and use 4 lasers is great breakthrough in optical industry and paves the way for future 100G and 400G connections. Our portfolio consists of 100G-DR which is defined by IEEE802.3cd and 100G-FR and 100G-LR which are defined by 100G Lambda MSA.
Industrial Temperature QSFP28 Transceivers:
For optical module use under harsh environments, we recommend 100G QSFP28 SR4 and LR4 Industrial Temperature versions which support -40 to 85 Celsius operating temperature range.
RX Only QSFP28 Transceivers:
As global online data traffic is asymmetrical – especially this statement is valid nowadays when biggest share of global traffic is video streaming, there is much more downlink traffic then uplink. To address this challenge and help engineers design network connections according to real life traffic requirements Rx Only QSFP28 100G Transceivers come in play. As Rx Only modules don’t have TOSA laser, just PIN receivers they are cost efficient alternative comparing to standard 100G Ethernet QSFP28 modules which have both TOSA laser and PIN receiver.
