Brocade compatible 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM Description

100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM is a Brocade (now Ruckus Networks) part number for a 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 transceiver. This EDGE compatible module matches the original specifications and is built to the same MSA standards, with EEPROM coded for Brocade/Ruckus platform recognition. It operates over duplex single-mode fiber at four LAN-WDM wavelengths (1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm), reaching up to 10 km with a minimum optical link budget of 6.3 dB per IEEE 802.3ba.

The module uses EML transmitters and PIN photodiode receivers, carrying four lanes at 25.78125 Gbps each for an aggregate 103.125 Gbps line rate. DDM/DOM provides real-time readings of TX/RX optical power, laser bias current, temperature, and supply voltage. Maximum power consumption is 3.5 W from a single 3.3 V supply. Operating temperature range is 0 to 70 °C. The duplex LC connector works with standard OS2 single-mode patch cords.

The 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM works in Ruckus ICX switches with QSFP28 ports, including the ICX 7850 series (native QSFP28) and ICX 7650 with the ICX7650-1X100GQ uplink module. It is also compatible with legacy Brocade SLX 9850, SLX 9540, SLX 9240, and MLXe platforms. Brocade and Ruckus switches do not block third-party transceivers. Compatible modules with correct EEPROM coding operate normally.

Brocade uses several similar part numbers for 100G QSFP28 LR4 modules. The 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM and E100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM are both 100GBASE-LR4 modules with 10 km reach over single-mode fiber. The "LP" suffix variants (100G-QSFP28-LR4-LP-10KM, E100G-QSFP28-LR4-LP-10KM) indicate low-power versions with reduced power consumption. Our compatible module covers all of these part numbers.

Our compatible 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM is CE and RoHS certified, QSFP28 MSA-compliant, and conforms to IEEE 802.3ba. Before delivery, every module undergoes optical parameter measurement, connector cleanliness inspection, and EEPROM data validation testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Brocade and Ruckus switches support the 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM?

Ruckus ICX 7850 series switches have native QSFP28 ports supporting 100G. The ICX 7650 supports 100G through the ICX7650-1X100GQ uplink module. Legacy Brocade platforms with QSFP28 ports include the SLX 9850, SLX 9540, SLX 9240, and MLXe series. Check your specific model's datasheet for QSFP28 port availability.

Do Brocade or Ruckus switches block third-party optics?

No. Brocade and Ruckus switches do not enforce transceiver authentication or disable ports for non-branded optics. Compatible modules with correct EEPROM coding operate normally. Ruckus support may ask you to test with a Ruckus-branded transceiver when troubleshooting link issues.

What is the difference between 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM and E100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM?

Both are Brocade part numbers for the same 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 module with identical optical specifications and 10 km reach. The prefix difference reflects Brocade's internal SKU naming conventions across product lines. Our compatible module works with either part number.

What is the difference between LR4 (10 km) and LR4L (2 km)?

LR4 modules reach up to 10 km over single-mode fiber and use EML laser transmitters. LR4L (LR4 Lite) modules are cost-optimized for shorter reaches up to 2 km and may use different laser technology. LR4 and LR4L modules are not interoperable with each other if they use different wavelength plans. Choose LR4 for campus or inter-building links; LR4L for short-reach connections within a data center.
