Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GBASE-SWDM4 QSFP28 transceiver?
A 100GBASE-SWDM4 QSFP28 is an optical transceiver module that supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over multimode fiber. The SWDM4 (Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology uses bidirectional signaling to transmit and receive data simultaneously over fewer fiber strands, reducing cabling complexity and costs in data center environments.
Is this transceiver compatible with Ruckus network switches?
Yes, the Axiom AXG103316 is fully compatible with Ruckus network infrastructure. It is equivalent to the Ruckus E100G-QSFP28-SR-SWLC module and integrates seamlessly with Ruckus switches supporting 100GBASE-SWDM4 connectivity.
What is the maximum transmission distance for this QSFP28 module?
This 100GBASE-SWDM4 QSFP28 transceiver supports transmission distances up to 150 meters over multimode fiber (MMF) cabling, making it suitable for intra-campus and data center interconnect applications.
Why choose BiDi technology for 100GbE connectivity?
BiDi (bidirectional) transceivers reduce fiber infrastructure requirements by transmitting and receiving data on the same fiber pair using different wavelengths. This approach lowers cabling costs, simplifies installation, and reduces physical space requirements compared to traditional 100GBASE-SR4 solutions.
