Cisco QSFP-100G-SR4-S Network Transceivers & SFP Modules

The Cisco QSFP-100G-SR4-S is a 100GBASE-SR4 transceiver designed for short-range optical communication over multi-mode fiber, with a maximum transmission distance of 100 meters. This makes it ideal for data center and campus network deployments where shorter distances are acceptable. We offer this transceiver module for organizations requiring high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over shorter optical spans.

The Cisco QSFP-100G-SR4-S features an MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connector, which is the standard connector type for high-density 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The MPO connector allows for efficient cable management and supports the four-lane architecture required for SR4 technology. Contact us today if you need guidance on compatible MPO cabling for your network infrastructure.

Yes, the Cisco QSFP-100G-SR4-S is a hot-swappable transceiver module, meaning it can be inserted or removed from compatible equipment without powering down the system. This design feature minimizes network downtime during maintenance, upgrades, or troubleshooting. We offer this module for customers who require flexible, non-disruptive network operations.

The SR4 (Short Range) variant, like the QSFP-100G-SR4-S, supports up to 100 meters over multi-mode fiber, while the LR4 (Long Range) variant supports up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber. SR4 is optimized for data center and short-distance campus connections, whereas LR4 is designed for longer metropolitan and wide-area network links. Available from us are both options depending on your network distance requirements and fiber infrastructure.

The QSFP-100G-SR4-S is compatible with Cisco networking equipment that supports QSFP form factor transceivers, including routers, switches, and other data networking devices in the Cisco product line. Compatibility depends on your specific hardware model and its QSFP port specifications. Contact us today to verify compatibility with your existing network equipment or to explore alternative transceiver options.

No, the QSFP-100G-SR4-S is specifically designed for short-range applications with a maximum distance of 100 meters, making it unsuitable for long-distance connections. For extended metropolitan or wide-area network deployments, consider the Cisco QSFP-100G-LR4-S (10 km) or QSFP-100G-ZR4-S (80 km) alternatives available from us.
