Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100G PSM4 QSFP28 transceiver used for?
The 100G PSM4 QSFP28 is designed for high-speed data center interconnects and metropolitan networks requiring 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The 10 km reach makes it suitable for campus networks, disaster recovery links, and carrier-grade deployments where extended transmission distances are essential.
How does PSM4 technology differ from other 100G optical modules?
PSM4 (Parallel Single-Mode) technology uses four parallel single-mode fiber lanes within an MPO connector, offering superior reach compared to multimode alternatives. This approach provides 10 km transmission capability while maintaining the compact QSFP28 form factor, making it ideal for long-distance enterprise networks.
Is the Extreme Networks 100G-PSM4-QSFP10KM compatible with other network equipment?
The 100G-PSM4-QSFP10KM is specifically qualified for Extreme Networks SLX platforms. For compatibility with other vendors' equipment, verify that your network switches support QSFP28 PSM4 modules and have compatible MPO interfaces. Always consult your equipment documentation before deployment.
What fiber type is required for this 100G optical module?
The 100G PSM4 QSFP28 requires single-mode fiber (SMF) for optimal performance at 10 km distances. Ensure your fiber infrastructure meets ITU-T G.652 or equivalent standards for reliable 100 Gigabit Ethernet transmission.
