Brand Compatible With 100GBASE-ER4 QSFP28 Transceiver Module（QSFP28 Double Fiber Single-Mode, 100G, 1310nm, 40km, LC, DDM）
The 100GBASE-ER4 optical transceiver is designed for long-distance 100G Ethernet transmission over single-mode fiber. Supporting up to 40km reach with a duplex LC interface, this module provides a reliable solution for metro network connectivity, telecom carrier transmission, enterprise backbone links, and data center extension.
This 100G QSFP28 ER4 optical module uses 4WDM optical transmission technology and is compliant with IEEE 802.3ba 100GBASE-ER4 and QSFP28 MSA standards. With Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), network operators can monitor optical power, temperature, voltage, and module status in real time.
Compared with 100G LR4 modules, the 100G ER4 transceiver extends the transmission distance from 10km to 40km, making it more suitable for metro edge, ISP backbone, and cross-campus connectivity where longer fiber reach is required.
