100Gbps SFP Optical QSFP28 SR transceiver — 850nm, 100m, MPO, single-piece optic switch transceiver Key benefits Deliver 100Gbps bandwidth for high-density links, enabling faster server-to-switch and switch-to-switch communication where low latency and high throughput matter. Simplifies cabling with an MPO connector designed for multimode fiber, reducing installation time and cable bulk compared with multiple single-fiber connections. Short-reach 850nm design provides a cost-effective, reliable solution for intra-rack and intra-data center links up to 100 meters. Single-piece optic switch transceiver form factor ensures straightforward integration into QSFP28 ports for a compact, space-saving deployment. What it does and why you need it Provides a 100Gbps optical connection using QSFP28 SR optics to support demanding applications such as virtualization, high-performance computing, and storage traffic consolidation. Uses an 850nm wavelength optimized for multimode fiber to maintain signal integrity across short distances common in modern data centers. The MPO connector supports parallel multimode fiber trunks, simplifying upgrades from 10Gb/40Gb infrastructures and enabling easier migrations to 100Gb links. Important attributes Performance: 100Gbps data rate, 850nm wavelength, up to 100 meters reach over multimode fiber. Connector: MPO for multimode fiber connectivity and dense trunk cabling. Form factor: QSFP28-compatible single-piece optic switch transceiver for compact integration into supported switch ports. Function: Short-range optical transceiver designed for high-speed data transmission within data centers or campus network environments. Compatibility: Intended for QSFP28 ports that accept SR optics and MPO-terminated multimode fiber assemblies. Practical applications (use scenarios) Data center uplinks and aggregation: Upgrade top-of-rack and leaf-spine connections to 100Gb without reworking single-fiber cabling; use MPO trunks to connect switches and aggregation points within the same facility. Server clusters and HPC nodes: Provide high-bandwidth, low-latency links between compute nodes and storage arrays across racks or within the same room. Campus or building backbones: Connect switch stacks or wiring closets over multimode fiber runs up to 100 meters for high-throughput interconnects. Deployment notes Install in QSFP28-compatible ports that support SR optics and use MPO-terminated multimode fiber assemblies sized for the required reach. Designed as a single-piece module for direct insertion into switch QSFP28 slots to minimize handling and simplify replacement or upgrades. This transceiver delivers a straightforward, high-performance 100Gb optical link for short-range multimode fiber environments, with the MPO connector and QSFP28 form factor making it a practical choice for modern data center and campus network deployments.
