FAQ
What type of fiber does this transceiver support?
This transceiver supports single-mode optical fiber exclusively. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light to transmit data over extended distances with minimal signal loss, making it suitable for long-haul network connections in data centers, enterprise backbones, and service provider networks.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-Chelsio equipment?
While designed specifically for Chelsio hardware, this transceiver is MSA compliant, which means it follows industry-standard specifications for QSFP28 modules. However, compatibility with non-Chelsio equipment depends on the specific hardware's implementation of MSA standards. For guaranteed performance, use with Chelsio-compatible devices as intended.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The transceiver supports data transfer rates up to 100 gigabits per second (100Gbps) using 100GBase-LR4 technology. This high-speed capability enables efficient handling of bandwidth-intensive applications, including data center interconnects, high-performance computing, and enterprise network backbones that require reliable 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
What type of connector does this module use?
This QSFP28 transceiver uses an LC connector interface. The LC connector provides a secure, low-loss connection for optical fiber cables and is commonly used in high-density networking environments. The module features one LC port configured for 100GBase-LR4 network connections.
