Product Features
Technical Overview
This transceiver operates on the 100GBase-LR standard, which specifies 100 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber with a nominal reach of up to 10 kilometers. The QSFP28 form factor provides a dense, high-speed interface that is backward compatible with lower-speed QSFP+ ports in many systems, offering flexibility in network upgrades.
The module supports duplex LC fiber optic connectors, ensuring reliable optical coupling and low insertion loss. It is built to meet industry specifications for performance, interoperability, and thermal management, making it suitable for demanding networking environments that require consistent, low-latency data transmission.
Key Product Advantages

- Supports 100GBase-LR for long-reach optical links
- Enables scalable network backbone and aggregation
Optical Fiber Compatibility
Designed for use with single-mode optical fiber, providing low attenuation and high signal integrity over extended distances, which reduces the need for signal regeneration in wide-area networks.
- Ideal for data center interconnects and metro networks
- Minimizes latency and packet loss in long-haul transmissions
Deployment / Use Cases
The Fortinet QSFP28-LR transceiver is deployed in scenarios requiring high-speed, reliable optical connectivity over distance. It is commonly used in data center spine-leaf architectures, enterprise core switching, and telecommunications backhaul networks where 100GbE links are essential for aggregating traffic and supporting growing bandwidth demands.
Typical use cases include connecting top-of-rack switches to aggregation layers, linking geographically dispersed data centers via dark fiber, and upgrading existing 40GbE or 10GbE infrastructure to higher capacities. Its compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports allows for straightforward integration into a wide range of networking hardware from Fortinet and other vendors that support the 100GBase-LR specification.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance supported by this QSFP28 module?
This module supports the 100GBase-LR standard, which is designed for long-reach applications over single-mode fiber with a nominal reach of up to 10 kilometers. Actual distance may vary based on fiber quality, connectors, and environmental conditions, but it is optimized for reliable performance across typical metro and data center interconnect distances.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-Fortinet networking equipment?
Yes, the Fortinet FN-TRAN-QSFP28-LR is built to industry-standard QSFP28 and 100GBase-LR specifications, making it compatible with a wide range of third-party switches, routers, and network interface cards that support these standards. However, it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific hardware vendor, as some systems may require vendor-coded or validated modules for optimal performance and support.
What type of fiber optic cable should I use with this module?
This module is designed for use with single-mode optical fiber cables terminated with duplex LC connectors. Single-mode fiber provides lower attenuation and supports longer distances compared to multimode fiber, making it suitable for the 100GBase-LR application. Ensure that the fiber cables meet the required specifications for 100GbE transmission to maintain signal integrity and performance.
Does this QSFP28 module support Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM)?
product details do not include details about Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) or Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support. For confirmation of monitoring capabilities such as real-time temperature, voltage, transmit power, and receive power readings, please consult the manufacturer's datasheet or product documentation specific to the FN-TRAN-QSFP28-LR model.
