Description
The 100Gb/s QSFP28 SR4 100m is a high-performance optical transceiver module designed for data center and enterprise network applications. Capable of supporting data rates up to 100Gbps over 100m OM4 MMF (Multimode Fiber), it offers an ideal solution for high-bandwidth, short-distance connectivity. Integrating both the transmit and receive paths into a single compact module, this transceiver converts electrical signals into parallel optical signals using a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) array. 100Gb/s QSFP28 SR4 With a hot-pluggable design and low power consumption (max 3.5W), the BD-QSFP28-CDS1 delivers outstanding performance while ensuring minimal energy use and seamless integration into existing systems.
Ideal for 100GBASE-SR4 applications, the module features a MTP/MPO optical connector for easy installation and a single +3.3V power supply for straightforward power management. The I2C Communication Interface and built-in digital diagnostic function ensure system monitoring and diagnostics are always available, enabling greater reliability and efficiency.
