Ciena compatible QSFP28-LR4 Description
QSFP28-LR4 is a Ciena part number for a 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 optical transceiver. Ciena also references the same module specification under part numbers XCVR-Q10V31 and 160-9401-900. Our compatible version uses the same base module as our 100G-QSFP28-10 product, built to MSA specifications with Ciena-specific EEPROM programming.
The module transmits 100GbE over single-mode fiber using LAN WDM technology. Four wavelength channels at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm each carry 25.78125 Gbps with NRZ modulation, for an aggregate line rate of 103.125 Gbps. The transmitter uses an EML (Electro-absorption Modulated Laser) array and the receiver a PIN photodiode array. The four channels are multiplexed within the 1310 nm window and carried over a single duplex LC fiber pair.
The module provides a minimum optical link budget of 6.3 dB per IEEE 802.3ba, which supports distances up to 10 km over OS2 (G.652.D) single-mode fiber. Actual distance depends on your fiber attenuation and connector losses. The dual LC/UPC connector interface works with standard SMF patch cords and structured cabling.
Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) provides real-time readings of transmitted and received optical power, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage through the SFF-8636 management interface. The module has no internal FEC engine, but is fully transparent to host-side RS-FEC (IEEE 802.3bj Clause 91) running in the switch ASIC. The module conforms to the QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8665) and presents a CAUI-4 host electrical interface (4x25G NRZ lanes per IEEE 802.3bj Clause 83). Operating temperature is 0 to 70°C with maximum power consumption of 3.5W.
Our module is programmed with Ciena-specific EEPROM data and has been compatibility-tested on Ciena platforms including the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform (on 100G client cards) and Waveserver series. It works in any Ciena equipment that lists QSFP28-LR4 or XCVR-Q10V31 in its supported transceiver table. We can also supply the module coded for other vendors; contact our sales team if you need alternative platform coding.
The transceiver meets IEEE 802.3ba and IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-LR4 requirements and conforms to the QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8665, IEEE 802.3ba 100GBASE-LR4). It is CE/RoHS certified and compliant with Class 1 FDA and IEC 60825-1 laser safety standards. We measure optical parameters and inspect connectors on every unit before shipment. EEPROM data is validated against the Ciena platform configuration. If you need technical consultation or a volume price for your project, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ciena QSFP28-LR4, XCVR-Q10V31, and 160-9401-900?
All three are Ciena part numbers for 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 modules with 10 km reach over single-mode fiber. QSFP28-LR4 is the generic ordering code, XCVR-Q10V31 appears in Ciena's 6500 and Waveserver documentation, and 160-9401-900 is used in certain Ciena platform configurations. Our compatible module works for all three part numbers.
Which Ciena platforms support QSFP28-LR4?
QSFP28-LR4 is used on Ciena's 6500 Packet-Optical Platform (on applicable 100G client cards) and Waveserver series for 100GbE client interfaces. Any Ciena platform with QSFP28 client ports that lists QSFP28-LR4 or XCVR-Q10V31 in its supported optics table can use this module.
Does the compatible QSFP28-LR4 work natively on Ciena equipment?
Our module is programmed with Ciena-specific EEPROM coding and is recognized on Ciena platforms in our testing without requiring additional configuration. We recommend verifying compatibility with your specific software release.
