Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP28 transceiver and why do I need one?
A QSFP28 transceiver is a high-speed optical module that converts electrical signals to optical signals for fiber optic transmission. The AddOn Q28-100GP4-BXU2931-20-C-AO is essential for 100GBase-BX LR1 connectivity, enabling long-distance data center and campus network links with single-mode fiber infrastructure.
What does TAA compliance mean for this transceiver?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance ensures this QSFP28 transceiver meets U.S. government procurement standards. It qualifies for federal, state, and local government contracts, making it ideal for regulated environments and public sector deployments.
How far can this 100GBase-BX LR1 transceiver transmit?
This 100GBase-BX LR1 module supports transmission distances up to 20km over single-mode fiber, making it suitable for metropolitan area networks (MANs) and extended campus interconnects without requiring intermediate amplification.
What is single lambda PAM4 and how does it benefit my network?
Single lambda PAM4 uses a single wavelength with Pulse Amplitude Modulation to achieve 100Gbps throughput efficiently. This approach reduces cost and complexity compared to multi-wavelength solutions while maintaining high performance for 100GBase-BX LR1 applications.
