Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP28 transceiver and why do I need one?
A QSFP28 transceiver is a hot-pluggable optical module that enables 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. You need one to upgrade your network infrastructure to 100G speeds for data center, campus, or enterprise backbone applications. The MSA compliant design ensures compatibility across multiple switch vendors.
Is this QSFP28 module compatible with my existing network equipment?
Yes, the MSA compliant QSFP28 100G-FR transceiver is designed for interoperability with standards-based equipment from major vendors. Verify your switch or router supports QSFP28 modules and 100G-FR specifications. The LC connector and 1310NM wavelength are industry standards for long-reach fiber applications.
How far can this 100G-FR transceiver transmit over fiber?
This QSFP28 100G-FR module supports transmission distances up to 2 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF). The 1310NM wavelength and FR (Far Reach) designation make it ideal for campus interconnects and data center-to-data center links requiring extended range beyond standard SR (short-reach) modules.
What temperature range does this fiber optic transceiver support?
The ADD-ON QSFP28 transceiver operates reliably from 0°C to 70°C, making it suitable for standard data center and network closet environments. This wide operating range ensures consistent performance in both climate-controlled facilities and outdoor or non-air-conditioned deployment scenarios.
