100GBASE-ER4 Lite QSFP28 40km RX-Only Transceiver Description
Our EDGEOPTIC 100G-QSFP28-40RX is a multi-vendor compatible 100GBASE-ER4 Lite QSFP28 receive-only optical module designed for specialized 100 Gigabit Ethernet, OTN, and Fiber Channel monitoring and distribution applications requiring extended reach capability. This quad small form-factor pluggable transceiver provides four-channel wavelength demultiplexing receiver functionality without transmit capability, delivering aggregate throughput up to 112.2 Gbps for long-distance network monitoring and asymmetric communication scenarios.
The 100G-QSFP28-40RX module operates using LAN WDM technology with four discrete receive wavelength channels at 1295.56nm, 1300.05nm, 1304.58nm, and 1309.14nm. Our 100GBASE-ER4 Lite RX-Only QSFP28 transceiver utilizes PIN photodiode array for receiving optical signals. This receive-only architecture is specifically designed for applications where only incoming signal reception is required over extended distances, such as metro network monitoring, long-haul signal analysis, or unidirectional broadcast distribution systems.
The receiver provides minimum average sensitivity of -20.5 dBm per lane, enabling reception of signals transmitted from standard 100GBASE-ER4 transceivers over distances up to 40 kilometers on single-mode fiber. However, distance is just an indicative parameter calculated for comfort of identification – eventually we calculate distance taking into account minimal optical budget and average attenuation of optical cabling in industry. The enhanced receiver sensitivity compared to LR4 RX-Only modules enables operation over significantly longer fiber spans.
100G-QSFP28-40RX compatible 100GBASE-ER4 Lite RX-Only module is a hot-pluggable QSFP28 with single LC/UPC connector as the optical interface. The electrical interface conforms to SFF-8636 and SFF-8665 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard QSFP28 host systems supporting multiple vendor equipment platforms. Our 100GBASE-ER4 Lite RX-Only QSFP28 transceiver can be encoded to be compatible and successfully operate in different 80+ brands of equipment.
The module incorporates DDM/DOM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) functionality providing real-time information including received optical power levels, module temperature, and supply voltage. Additionally, the module supports Host FEC (Forward Error Correction) function which helps detect and correct bit errors, improving overall link quality over extended distances. The module operates within a 0 to 70°C temperature range with maximum power consumption of 2.5W, reflecting the reduced power requirements of receive-only operation.
Standards compliance includes IEEE 802.3ba for 100 Gigabit Ethernet 100GBASE-ER4 Lite specification and QSFP28 MSA. The transceiver supports multi-protocol reception including 100G Ethernet (103.125 Gbps), 128GFC Gen 6 Fiber Channel (112.2 Gbps), and OTU4 (112 Gbps) for optical transport networks. Our 100GBASE-ER4 Lite RX-Only QSFP28 transceiver is CE/RoHS certified, Class 1 FDA and IEC60825-1 Laser Safety Compliant.
Typical applications include metro network passive optical tap monitoring, long-distance network traffic analysis systems, regional optical signal distribution networks, and extended-reach test and measurement setups requiring signal reception without transmission capability.
