Fortinet compatible FN-TRAN-QSFP28-ER Description
EdgeOptic's FN-TRAN-QSFP28-ER compatible is a Fortinet-coded 100GBASE-ER4 Lite QSFP28 transceiver built on our 100G-QSFP28-40 hardware platform. The module ships pre-programmed with the Fortinet vendor identifiers for the FN-TRAN-QSFP28-ER ordering code, so the optic identifies on FortiOS as the OEM transceiver.
Optically the module conforms to the 100GBASE-ER4 Lite specification. Four LAN-WDM channels at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58 and 1309.14 nm each carry 25.78125 Gbps NRZ, multiplexed onto one duplex LC single-mode fiber pair. The transmitter is an EML array; the receiver is an APD array, providing the additional sensitivity that distinguishes ER4 Lite from a standard LR4 build. Optical budget is 22 dB with host FEC, 18 dB without. ER4 Lite is not an IEEE 802.3ba or 802.3bm subclause and is not a 100G Lambda MSA grade; it is a generic 100GBASE-ER4 Lite specification used across vendor catalogs.
Reach is 40km on G.652 SMF with host RS-FEC enabled. Host-side FEC is the gating requirement for the 40km reach; the optic itself is transparent to FEC and contains no internal FEC engine. Engineers planning data-center interconnect or campus core links should confirm the host port has RS-FEC available on the 100GE MAC and verify both ends match during commissioning.
The FN-TRAN-QSFP28-ER is intended for Fortinet appliances and switches with 100GE QSFP28 interfaces. Verify the optic against the Fortinet transceiver compatibility matrix for your specific appliance model and FortiOS release before deployment, as supported optic lists vary by hardware family and software revision.
QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 and SFF-8636 management compliance covers the electrical and software interfaces. DDM/DOM telemetry surfaces TX power, RX power, bias current, voltage, and module temperature for fault isolation. The duplex LC connector accepts standard SMF patch cords. Power draw is bounded at 4.5 W maximum; the commercial 0 to +70 degC case-temperature range covers central-office and metro POP environments. Connector hygiene matters at ER4 Lite reach budgets; inspect and clean both end-faces before turn-up to avoid attenuation that erodes the FEC margin.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For FortiOS compatibility verification or volume pricing, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the FN-TRAN-QSFP28-ER compatible trigger the 'not certified by Fortinet' warning in FortiOS?
FortiOS prints a 'transceiver not certified by Fortinet' message for any optic outside the Fortinet-certified inventory. The warning is informational and does not block traffic; the link comes up and forwards normally on a coded module. Fortinet TAC excludes support for non-certified optics. The behavior, the FortiOS configuration knobs that control transceiver acceptance, and the Fortinet community thread context are covered in detail on our knowledge base article: the 'not certified by Fortinet' fix. For confirmation against your specific Fortinet appliance model and FortiOS release before deployment, contact our sales team.
