Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP28 optical transceiver used for?
A QSFP28 optical transceiver like the ENET Calix module is used for high-speed data transmission in networking applications. The 100GBase-LR4 standard enables 100Gbps connectivity over single-mode fiber, making it essential for data center interconnects, enterprise backbone networks, and long-distance network links requiring high bandwidth and reliability.
What is the difference between 100GBase-LR4 and other 100G standards?
The 100GBase-LR4 protocol is specifically designed for long-reach applications over single-mode fiber, typically supporting distances up to 10 kilometers. This makes it ideal for campus networks and data center interconnections where extended distance coverage is required, unlike shorter-reach 100G standards designed for shorter intra-data center connections.
Is the ENET Calix QSFP28 module hot-pluggable?
Yes, the ENET Calix QSFP28 module features a hot-pluggable design, allowing you to install, remove, or replace the transceiver without powering down your network equipment. This flexibility enables seamless maintenance, upgrades, and network reconfiguration with minimal downtime.
What fiber type does this 100GBase-LR4 transceiver require?
The ENET Calix QSFP28 module is designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) connectivity via an LC duplex connector. Single-mode fiber enables the long-reach capabilities of the 100GBase-LR4 standard, making it suitable for extended network spans in enterprise and data center environments.
