Product Features
Technical Overview
This transceiver operates on the 100GBase-SR4 protocol, which utilizes parallel multi-mode fiber lanes to achieve full 100 Gbit/s throughput. The module supports optical fiber media exclusively and is optimized for multi-mode fiber deployments, making it ideal for intra-building or data center interconnects where high bandwidth and low latency are critical.
The physical design conforms to the QSFP28 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports. With a compact footprint of 0.33" x 0.72" x 4.72", it fits seamlessly into high-density switch and router ports without requiring additional rack space.
Key Product Advantages
This Ortronics QSFP28 module delivers essential advantages for modern high-speed network infrastructure. Its 100GBase-SR4 implementation provides a cost-effective path to 100GbE without sacrificing reliability or performance.
High-Density Connectivity
The MPO/MTP connector supports multiple fiber strands in a single interface, enabling efficient cabling in space-constrained network racks and reducing physical clutter.
- Single MPO/MTP port
- Designed for high-density switches
- Reduces cable management complexity
Optimized for Short Reach
With a maximum supported distance of 0.10 km, this module is purpose-built for data center top-of-rack switching, server interconnects, and intra-building backbone links.
- 0.10 km reach over multi-mode fiber
- Ideal for data center environments
- Minimizes latency for critical applications
Deployment / Use Cases
This transceiver is primarily deployed in enterprise and data center networks where 100GbE uplinks are required between switches, routers, or servers. Its 100GBase-SR4 technology makes it suitable for aggregating multiple 10GbE or 25GbE links into a high-bandwidth backbone.
Common use cases include connecting leaf-spine architecture switches, providing high-speed interconnects for storage arrays and hyper-converged infrastructure, and upgrading existing 40GbE links to 100GbE without replacing fiber plant. The multi-mode fiber support and short reach characteristics make it particularly effective within a single data hall or building campus.

FAQ
What type of connector does this QSFP28 module use?
This Ortronics QSFP28 module uses an MPO/MTP connector interface. This connector type supports multiple fiber strands in a single physical interface, making it ideal for high-density 100GbE applications where space efficiency is important. The MPO/MTP design ensures reliable optical alignment and secure connections in data center environments.
What is the maximum distance this transceiver supports?
The module supports a maximum distance of 0.10 km (approximately 0.06 miles) over multi-mode fiber optic cable. This reach is characteristic of 100GBase-SR4 technology and makes the transceiver suitable for short-reach applications within data centers, server rooms, or between buildings on a campus network.
What type of fiber is compatible with this module?
This QSFP28 module is designed for use with multi-mode optical fiber. It does not support single-mode fiber. The 100GBase-SR4 technology is optimized for multi-mode deployments, which are common in data center and enterprise environments for distances up to 0.10 km.
What is the data transfer rate of this optical transceiver?
The module delivers a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Gbit/s (100 gigabits per second). This full duplex bandwidth is achieved through the 100GBase-SR4 protocol, which utilizes parallel fiber lanes to support high-speed data transmission for demanding network applications.
