Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GBASE-LR QSFP28 transceiver used for?
A 100GBASE-LR QSFP28 transceiver is used for high-speed, long-distance fiber optic communication in data centers and enterprise networks. The LR (Long Reach) designation indicates it can transmit data up to 10km over single-mode fiber, making it suitable for campus interconnects and metropolitan networks where extended reach is required.
Is the ENET QSFP-100G-LR-ENC compatible with Arista switches?
Yes, the ENET QSFP-100G-LR-ENC is fully Arista-compatible and functionally identical to OEM transceivers. It works seamlessly with Arista 7000 series, 7050 series, and other compatible platforms supporting 100GBASE-LR modules, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative.
What does 1310nm wavelength mean for fiber optic transmission?
The 1310nm wavelength is a standard infrared light frequency used in long-distance single-mode fiber applications. This wavelength minimizes chromatic dispersion in SMF, enabling reliable transmission over 10km distances with minimal signal degradation and superior performance compared to shorter-reach wavelengths.
Can I use this transceiver with standard LC fiber patch cords?
Yes, the duplex LC connector on the ENET QSFP-100G-LR-ENC is compatible with standard LC fiber patch cords and adapters. This ensures easy integration into existing fiber infrastructure without requiring specialized connectors or adapters.
