Brocade compatible 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM Description
EdgeOptic's 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM compatible is a Brocade-coded 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 transceiver built on the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-10 platform. The module loads with Brocade and Ruckus EEPROM identifiers so the host recognizes it as the original ordering code, and it ships with the same wavelength plan, electrical interface, and SFF-8636 management interface as the F5-coded, Cisco-coded, and other variants of the same EDGE platform.
The optical interface follows IEEE 802.3ba Clause 88 100GBASE-LR4. Four 25.78 Gbps NRZ lanes ride the LAN WDM grid at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm, then multiplex onto a single LC duplex pair of G.652 single-mode fiber. The 6.3 dB optical path loss budget supports a full 10 km reach with margin against typical SMF attenuation in the 1310 nm band. Host electrical interface is CAUI-4 (4x25G NRZ) into the QSFP28 cage. Power draw stays at 3.5 W and the operating temperature window is 0 to 70 C commercial range. The module reports DDM telemetry per SFF-8636 for tx power, rx power, bias current, supply voltage, and case temperature, so the host can monitor optical health from the same management commands used on the OEM module.
The 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM ordering code is the original Brocade naming. After the Brocade Communications data-center networking acquisition closed in October 2017, the ICX switching line moved to Ruckus Networks and the SLX line moved to Extreme Networks; the equivalent Ruckus and Extreme naming for the same 100GBASE-LR4 10 km module is E100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM. EdgeOptic's compatible covers both ordering codes with a single EEPROM image, so chassis CLI output reports the part number expected for the platform's vintage. Use this page when sourcing the 10 km LR4 variant; the shorter-reach LR4L-2KM SKU has its own EdgeOptic compatible page, and EdgeOptic ships the same 10 km LR4 platform against either Brocade ordering code.
Compatible with Brocade, Ruckus Networks, and Extreme Networks chassis carrying QSFP28 cages; verify the entry for your specific platform in the vendor's transceiver compatibility matrix before deployment. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM and E100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM?
Both are vendor ordering codes for the same 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 10 km module. The 100G- prefix is the original Brocade Communications naming. The E100G- prefix is the post-2017 Ruckus Networks and Extreme Networks naming, used after the Brocade ethernet division split between Ruckus (ICX line) and Extreme (SLX line). Optical specs are identical: LAN WDM 1295 to 1309 nm, 10 km over SMF, LC duplex, DDM. EdgeOptic's compatible carries Brocade and Ruckus EEPROM coding so it slots in on either generation of chassis without an ordering-code change.
How does the 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM compatible relate to the Brocade LR4L-2KM SKU?
EdgeOptic's compatible for both Brocade ordering codes is the same 10 km LR4 module operating on the LAN WDM wavelength grid at 1295 to 1309 nm. When both ends of your link use EdgeOptic compatibles, the optical layer is fully consistent and the 6.3 dB optical path loss budget covers the roughly 0.7 dB G.652 attenuation across a 2 km span with substantial headroom. If you intend to mix an EdgeOptic compatible with an OEM Brocade LR4L module on the remote end, verify the remote module's wavelength plan in Brocade's transceiver compatibility documentation before connecting; some LR4L variants may use CWDM4-grid wavelengths (1271, 1291, 1311, 1331 nm) that are not interoperable with LR4 LAN WDM.
Do Brocade or Ruckus switches block third-party QSFP28 optics?
Brocade and Ruckus switches do not enforce transceiver lock-out as a platform policy. A QSFP28 module with correct vendor EEPROM coding initializes and reports DDM telemetry the same way an OEM-branded module does. EdgeOptic codes the 100G-QSFP28-LR4-10KM compatible to match the Brocade and Ruckus identifiers, so the host CLI and SNMP show the expected ordering code rather than a generic third-party tag. Always verify the entry for your specific chassis in the vendor's transceiver compatibility matrix before a production deployment.
