Cisco Compatible QSFP-100G-B20D4-I Transceiver

Our Compatible Cisco QSFP-100G-B20D4-I QSFP28 transceiver is based on our BIDI-100G-Q28-SL10A product, which has the same parameters and is manufactured in accordance with the same industry standards as its OEM counterpart. Our Cisco compatible transceiver is designed for operation over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF). Our Cisco compatible transceiver hardware building principles are similar as traditional 100G LR4, 100G ER4 modules as it has cooled 4x25Gb/s LAN-WDM NRZ (non return to Zero) modulated, EML lasers, therefore modules can be used in legacy 100G switches and routers and not require PAM4 modulation support or RS (544,514) FEC support to achieve desired distance as it is required by BIDI 100G PAM4 module series. 100G BIDI transceivers are designed for dense applications and provide the ability for operators and service providers to save optical fiber resources.

Our Compatible Cisco QSFP-100G-B20D4-I module has a minimum guaranteed optical budget of 6.1 dB (AVG), 5.1dB (OMA), which in most cases is enough to reach 20km over OS2 single-mode fiber with RS(528,514) FEC enabled on the host device. AVG shows the value calculated from Average receive power (min). Average receive power is only informative and not the actual signal strength indicator. OMA shows the value calculated from Receiver Sensitivity. Receiver Sensitivity parameter shows the actual power. A value below this value does not ensure compliance, but value above this ensures signal stability. Without RS(528,514) FEC enabled reach will be lower. However, distance is just an indicative parameter calculated for comfort of identification. Eventually we calculate distance taking in account minimal optical budget and average attenuation of optical cabling in industry. Our Cisco compatible module uses 4 channel 25 Gbps EML (External Modulation Laser) 1273.55nm, 1277.89nm, 1282.26nm, 1286.66nm transmitters and 4 channel 25 Gbps 1295.56nm, 1300.05nm, 1304.58nm, 1309.14nm PIN photodiode receivers. On the transmission side module converts four electrical interface lanes (CAUI-4) 25-Gbps into a four 25-Gbps optical signal (NRZ modulated) and reversely at the receiver side four 25-Gbps optical signals are converted into four 25-Gbps electrical signals. Module supports DDM/DOM optical diagnostics, which provide diagnostic information about the present operating conditions. Our Cisco compatible transceiver operates in the industrial -20°-+85°C temperature range and has a Single LC optical connector and 38 pins edge connector for electrical interface and it supports 103.1 Gbps data rate and such applications as 100G Ethernet.

Our Cisco compatible QSFP-100G-B20D4-I transceivers are fully compliant to QSFP28 MSA (Multi Source Agreement), where IEEE 802.3cu defines physical and management layer specifications CAUI-4 electrical interface, SFF-8679 defines QSFP+ 4X Hardware and Electrical Specification.
