Cisco Compatible QSFP-100G-ER4
100GBASE-ER4 QSFP28 Transceiver Module | Duplex LC | 40km SMF
Product Overview
The Cisco compatible QSFP-100G-ER4 is a high-performance 100GBASE-ER4 QSFP28 optical transceiver module designed for ultra-long-distance 100 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF).
Using advanced 4-channel LAN-WDM optical technology, the module multiplexes four optical wavelengths onto a duplex LC fiber pair, enabling stable 100Gbps transmission up to 40 kilometers over standard single-mode fiber infrastructure.
The QSFP-100G-ER4 is ideal for:
- Data center interconnects (DCI)
- Metro and regional transport networks
- ISP and telecom backbone infrastructure
- Enterprise campus interconnections
- Cloud computing infrastructure
- Carrier Ethernet deployments
- Long-distance high-capacity uplinks
Compared with LR4 optics, ER4 provides significantly longer transmission distance while maintaining compact QSFP28 high-density deployment.
