Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100G LR QSFP28 transceiver used for?
The 100G LR QSFP28 transceiver is used for long-distance, high-speed data transmission in enterprise networks, data centers, and carrier environments. It connects network switches and routers over single-mode fiber cables up to 10 kilometers, making it ideal for campus backbone networks and inter-data center links.
How far can the HPE Aruba 100G LR QSFP28 transmit data?
This 100GbE transceiver supports transmission distances up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber, classified as a long-range (LR) module. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting geographically dispersed network infrastructure without requiring signal regeneration.
Is the HPE Aruba 100G LR QSFP28 compatible with other vendors' equipment?
While designed for HPE Aruba networking platforms, the 100G LR QSFP28 follows industry-standard QSFP28 specifications. Compatibility with non-HPE equipment depends on the specific switch or router model and its support for standard 100GbE LR transceivers. Always verify compatibility with your equipment manufacturer.
What monitoring capabilities does this transceiver provide?
The HPE Aruba 100G LR QSFP28 includes Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), which provides real-time visibility into transceiver performance metrics including optical power levels, temperature, and voltage. This enables proactive network management and rapid troubleshooting of connectivity issues.
