Brocade compatible 100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM Description
EdgeOptic's 100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM compatible is a Brocade-coded CWDM4 QSFP28 version of the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 multi-vendor 100G CWDM4 2km transceiver. Brocade carries the OEM optic in its Ethernet Optics Family, supplied for QSFP28 ports across the SLX and VDX data-center switching lines.
The module runs four CWDM channels on the 1271, 1291, 1311, and 1331 nm wavelength plan defined by the CWDM4 MSA and ITU-T G.694.2, with NRZ modulation across each lane. Output uses a duplex LC connector and supports 2 km links over G.652 single-mode fibre. The optical front end uses DML transmitters and PIN receivers, with host-side FEC supported per the CWDM4 MSA Technical Specification. Operating temperature spans the commercial 0 to 70 °C range.
The 100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM covers 100 Gigabit Ethernet on Brocade SLX and VDX data-center switching platforms at 103.125 Gbps, which operate as Ethernet-only switching fabrics at the QSFP28 cage. The EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 family additionally supports OTU4 (112 Gbps) and 4x32G Fibre Channel (112.2 Gbps) variants for OTN transport and SAN deployments on platforms that carry those framers. Those rates ship as separate part numbers and target router or storage chassis rather than SLX/VDX, so for OTU4 or Fibre Channel coding contact our sales team.
Brocade lists 100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM across the VDX 8770 chassis and the SLX 9850, SLX 9540, SLX 9240, and SLX 9140 data-center switches. Engineers running 100G aggregation between SLX/VDX chassis or peering the data-center fabric to upstream 100G transport cover the 2 km span over a single fibre pair with this optic on both ends. Verify the supported slot and line card position against the Brocade transceiver compatibility documentation for the platform image in service.
EdgeOptic codes the 100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM compatible with Brocade-recognized EEPROM, so SLX-OS and NOS interface validation accepts the module on the QSFP28 port under standard transceiver registration. The EEPROM identifies the optic against the 100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM part number, so chassis inventory tooling and SNMP transceiver tables report the module consistently with Brocade OEM stock.
Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) report TX power, RX power, bias current, supply voltage, and temperature per SFF-8636. The module is QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 compliant and aligned with the CWDM4 MSA Technical Specification.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Brocade 100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM differ from the E100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM?
Both ordering codes name the same 2 km CWDM4 QSFP28 optical class on the Brocade-derived Ethernet switching line. The 100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM is the original Brocade part number from the Ethernet Optics Family; the E100G-QSFP28-CWDM4-2KM is the Extreme Networks ordering code for the same 2 km CWDM4 QSFP28 reach class on the Brocade-derived data-center switching line. The two share the CWDM4 wavelength plan and 2 km reach but ship with distinct EEPROM coding for each ordering channel. Match the exact part number printed on the host bill of materials when sourcing replacement stock.
