Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP28 transceiver and why do I need one?
A QSFP28 transceiver is a hot-pluggable optical module that converts electrical signals to optical signals for high-speed fiber optic transmission. The AddOn QSFP-100G-FR-AR is essential for organizations requiring 100 Gbps connectivity across campus networks or data center interconnects without investing in proprietary Arista hardware.
Is this 100GBase-FR module compatible with my Arista switch?
Yes. The AddOn QSFP-100G-FR-AR is 100% compatible with Arista Networks® switches and infrastructure that support the QSFP-100G-FR-AR standard. It functions identically to the original module while offering significant cost savings.
What is the maximum distance for single-mode fiber transmission?
This 100GBase-FR QSFP28 transceiver supports transmission distances up to 2 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF) at 1310nm wavelength, making it suitable for metropolitan area networks and inter-building connectivity.
Does the AddOn QSFP-100G-FR-AR meet government procurement standards?
Yes. This optical module is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, qualifying it for U.S. federal government and regulated sector procurement programs.
