Ciena compatible XCVR-Q00Z85 Description
EdgeOptic's XCVR-Q00Z85 compatible is a Ciena-coded 100GBASE-SR4 version of the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-100 multi-vendor short-reach transceiver, one universal QSFP28 module coded for multiple switch and router vendors. It carries 100G Ethernet over four parallel 850 nm VCSEL lanes at 25.78 Gbps each across multimode fiber, terminated on an MTP/MPO-12 (UPC) connector using 8 active fibers, 4 transmit and 4 receive. The transceiver port is female with no pins; the patch cable is the pinned male side, so a transceiver-to-transceiver link needs a male-to-male Type B MTP/MPO-12 cable. Reach is 70 m over OM3 and 100 m over OM4, per IEEE 802.3bm Clause 95.
Optical specifications include a 1.9 dB average link budget, receiver sensitivity of −10.3 dBm per lane, NRZ modulation, and no FEC required at this reach. The transmitter uses 850 nm VCSEL lasers; the receiver is a PIN photodiode. OM4 supports the full 100 m while OM3 is rated to 70 m, with achievable distance depending on patch panels, splices, and connector cleanliness in the installed link. DDM/DOM reports transmit power, receive power and bias current per lane, plus module-level temperature and supply voltage, all per SFF-8636. The module runs across the 0 to 70 degrees C commercial range at 3.5 W maximum and is compliant with the QSFP28 MSA and SFF-8665. This is a 100G Ethernet short-reach optic; it does not carry Fibre Channel, OTN, or SONET traffic.
EdgeOptic codes this compatible with Ciena-recognized EEPROM so the host reads it as a supported optic. It works on Ciena 6500 packet-optical and Waveserver platform families that have 100G QSFP28 ports; confirm the specific chassis and slot against the Ciena compatibility matrix before deployment. Do not confuse XCVR-Q00Z85 with the XCVR-Q10V31, which is the Ciena LR4 long-reach part for single-mode fiber, a different optical class on a different page. Typical roles include data center core interconnects, ISP aggregation, and mobile operator core networks.
