RAD compatible QSFP28-2D Description
EdgeOptic's QSFP28-2D compatible is a RAD-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 50/125 multimode fiber, terminated on an MTP/MPO-12 connector using 8 active fibers, 4 transmit and 4 receive. Reach is 70 m over OM3 and 100 m over OM4, per IEEE 802.3bm Clause 95. 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.
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 set by patch panels, splices, and connector cleanliness across 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 RAD-recognized EEPROM so the host reads it as a supported optic. It works on RAD carrier-edge platforms with 100G QSFP28 ports, including the ETX-2i-100G; confirm the specific platform against RAD's transceiver compatibility documentation before deployment. Typical roles include carrier Ethernet demarcation, mobile backhaul aggregation, and metro core interconnects.
