Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GBase DWDM transceiver and why do I need one?
A 100GBase DWDM transceiver enables 100Gbps data transmission over long distances using dense wavelength division multiplexing. This AddOn module is essential for enterprises building scalable, high-capacity optical networks across multiple sites without requiring additional fiber infrastructure.
Is the AddOn QSFP28 compatible with my Cisco or Juniper equipment?
Yes. The QSFP-100GB-DW31-CJ-AO is certified compatible with Cisco and Juniper Networks platforms. It functions as a direct replacement for OEM transceivers on supported line cards and switches, ensuring seamless integration and full feature support.
How far can this 100GBase DWDM transceiver transmit?
This module supports up to 80km transmission over single-mode fiber when used with optional EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) and DCM (Dispersion Compensation Module) equipment. Standard reach without amplification is shorter; consult specifications for your specific deployment.
What does PAM4 single lambda mean?
PAM4 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation with 4 levels) is an advanced modulation technique that encodes more data per symbol, enabling 100Gbps throughput on a single wavelength. This increases spectral efficiency and reduces the number of wavelengths needed in DWDM systems.
