Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cisco QSFP-100G-PSM4-S transceiver used for?
The Cisco QSFP-100G-PSM4-S is a 100GBASE PSM4 QSFP transceiver module designed for high-speed optical network connectivity. This hot-swappable module supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet data rates and uses MPO connectors for parallel single-mode fiber connections, making it ideal for data center and enterprise network deployments requiring long-distance, high-bandwidth connectivity.
What are the key specifications of the QSFP-100G-PSM4-S transceiver?
The QSFP-100G-PSM4-S delivers 100 Gigabit Ethernet performance with PSM4 (Parallel Single-Mode) technology and features MPO-12 connectors for multi-lane fiber transmission. It is designed as a hot-swappable plug-in module compatible with Cisco networking equipment that supports QSFP form factor transceivers, providing investment protection for modern data networking infrastructure.
How does the PSM4 technology differ from other 100G transceiver types?
PSM4 (Parallel Single-Mode) technology uses four separate single-mode fiber pairs for 100G transmission, offering longer reach distances compared to multi-mode alternatives like SR4 modules. This makes PSM4 transceivers like the QSFP-100G-PSM4-S ideal for longer-distance optical links while maintaining the same 100 Gigabit Ethernet performance, providing flexibility for various network topology requirements.
What networking equipment is compatible with the QSFP-100G-PSM4-S?
The QSFP-100G-PSM4-S is compatible with Cisco networking devices that feature QSFP ports supporting 100GBASE transceiver modules. We offer this module for integration into Cisco routers, switches, and other telecommunications equipment with compatible QSFP+ or QSFP28 port configurations—contact us today to verify compatibility with your specific network infrastructure.
Is the QSFP-100G-PSM4-S hot-swappable and field-replaceable?
Yes, the QSFP-100G-PSM4-S is a hot-swappable module that can be inserted or removed from compatible Cisco equipment without powering down the system.
