E100G-QSFP28-LR1 Brocade Compatible QSFP28 Transceiver

E100G-QSFP28-LR1 is the Brocade part number for a single lambda 100G QSFP28 transceiver operating at 10km over duplex single-mode fiber. Brocade’s Ethernet switching business was acquired by Extreme Networks in 2017, but E100G-QSFP28-LR1 coded modules remain in demand for maintenance and spares on installed Brocade infrastructure. This module uses PAM4 modulation on a single optical lane at 106.25 Gbps with built-in FEC.

The transceiver operates in the 1304.5-1317.5nm wavelength range using an EML laser transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver. Integrated CDR circuitry handles signal recovery at PAM4 data rates. The module provides a minimum 6.3 dB optical link budget supporting 10km reach over standard G.652 single-mode fiber with LC duplex connectors.

Brocade-coded modules are supported on SLX 9850, 9740, 9640, and 9540 routers; VDX 6940 data center switches; ICX 7850 campus switches; and MLXe service provider routers. These platforms now fall under Extreme Networks support, but systems running original Brocade Network OS firmware continue to validate Brocade vendor IDs in the transceiver EEPROM.

This EdgeOptic compatible E100G-QSFP28-LR1 is coded with Brocade-recognized EEPROM data for native operation on Brocade NOS platforms. On ICX platforms running FastIron OS, the command optic-interop enable may be needed if vendor validation is enforced. On SLX running Network OS, properly coded modules work without additional commands.

The module is based on the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-SL10, compliant with the 100G Lambda MSA and QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8636/SFF-8665). CE/RoHS certified, Class 1 FDA and IEC60825-1 laser safety compliant. Maximum power consumption is 4.5W.

All EdgeOptic compatible transceivers undergo optical parameter measurements, connector cleanliness testing, and EEPROM validation before shipment. For volume pricing or platform-specific compatibility questions, contact our sales team.
