Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum transmission distance for the Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S transceiver?
The Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S is a 100GBASE LR4 transceiver designed for long-range transmission over single-mode fiber, supporting distances up to 10 kilometers. This makes it ideal for campus and metropolitan area network deployments where extended reach is required without signal regeneration.
What type of optical connector does the QSFP-100G-LR4-S use?
The Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S features an LC duplex connector for optical fiber connectivity. This standard connector type ensures compatibility with most modern data center and enterprise network infrastructure, and we offer this module available from our inventory.
Is the Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S hot-swappable?
Yes, the Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S is a hot-swappable transceiver module, allowing you to install, replace, or upgrade it without powering down your network equipment. This feature minimizes network downtime during maintenance and hardware upgrades.
What fiber type does the QSFP-100G-LR4-S require?
The Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S operates over single-mode fiber (SMF), which provides superior distance capabilities compared to multi-mode fiber. Single-mode fiber is the standard choice for long-distance optical network deployments in enterprise and service provider environments.
How does the QSFP-100G-LR4-S compare to the QSFP-100G-SR4-S for network deployments?
The QSFP-100G-LR4-S is optimized for long-range transmission over single-mode fiber at 10km, while the QSFP-100G-SR4-S is designed for shorter distances over multi-mode fiber. Choose the LR4 for campus interconnects and metro networks, and the SR4 for shorter intra-datacenter connections. We offer both modules to support your specific distance and infrastructure requirements.
What network speeds does the Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S support?
The Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S delivers 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GBase-LR4) performance, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including data center interconnects, large file transfers, and video streaming services.
