Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP28 transceiver used for?
A QSFP28 transceiver is used to convert electrical signals to optical signals for high-speed network transmission. The QSFP28-100GB-SR4-JF2-AO specifically enables 100GBase-SR4 connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks, supporting 100 Gbps data rates over fiber optic cables.
What is the difference between 100GBase-SR4 and other 100GbE standards?
100GBase-SR4 is optimized for short-reach, high-bandwidth applications using multi-mode fiber. Unlike long-reach standards, it operates over distances up to 100 meters, making it cost-effective for intra-datacenter deployments where OM4 fiber infrastructure already exists.
Is this QSFP28 transceiver compatible with my existing network equipment?
Yes, the ADD-ON QSFP28-100GB-SR4-JF2-AO is MSA-compliant, meaning it meets industry standards for interoperability. It works with most major networking vendors' equipment that supports 100GBase-SR4 and QSFP28 form factors. Always verify your equipment's compatibility specifications.
Can I use this transceiver with OM3 fiber instead of OM4?
This transceiver is designed for OM4 multi-mode fiber to achieve optimal 100-meter reach and performance. Using OM3 fiber may reduce maximum distance and reliability. For best results, use OM4 fiber as specified in the technical documentation.
