Switch2Open S-QSFP-100G-ER4 | 100G ER4 Universal QSFP28 Transceiver

Switch2Open 100G QSFP28 Transceiver Module not only delivers high-performance data transmission over a distance of up to 40km, designed to be highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of communication standards, protocols, and frequency bands, making it a truly Universal Transceiver. 100GBASE-ER4 refers to an Ethernet standard that allows high-speed data transmission over long distances using singlemode fiber optic cables. It is an Ethernet standard specified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for high-speed data transmission. The “ER4” signifies in the context of this standard: E: Stands for “Extended.” This indicates that the standard is designed for extended-distance data transmission, over single-mode fiber optic cables. R: Stands for “Reaches.” Indicates that the standard is intended for applications that require a relatively long reach. 4: Represents the number of lanes or channels used for data transmission. 100GBASE-ER4 uses four parallel optical fibers for both transmit and receive, allowing for a total of eight fibers (four for sending data and four for receiving data) to achieve the 100 Gbps data rate. Operating on 1296 nm, 1300 nm, 1305 nm, 1309 nm wavelength via Duplex LC singlemode fiber (SMF), this transceiver ensures consistent and reliable communication. With 5 W power consumption and an operating temperature range from 0 to 70°C, this module is an efficient and adaptable choice for data centers, enterprise networks, and service provider. txt
