100G QSFP28 ER4 : A Reliable Choice for Long-Reach High-Speed Transmission

By C-LIGHT Marketing 丨 Jan 4, 2026
Table of Contents

    100G QSFP28 ER4 optical module is an optical transceiver solution designed for long-distance, high-performance data communication. Housed in a standard QSFP28 form factor, it achieves transmission distances of up to 40 kilometers over single-mode fiber, perfectly addressing the core demands for high bandwidth and extended reach in scenarios such as Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), Data Center Interconnects (DCI), and 5G backhaul.


    Product Features:

    100G-QSFP28-ER4-40KM-Transceiver●Compliant with QSFP28 Standard:SFF-8661 Rev 2.5, SFF-8636 Rev 2.10a

    ●High speed I/O electrical interface (CAUI-4) compliant with IEEE 802.3bm-2015

    ●Compliant with 100GBASE-ER4 Lite standard

    ●Single 3.3V Supply Voltage

    ●Maximum power consumption 5.5 W at 70ºC Case Operating Temperature

    ●LAN WDM EML laser and APD Receiver

    ●Universal QSFP28 MSA package with duplex LC connector

    ●Two Wire Serial Interface with Digital Diagnostic Monitoring

    ●Complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS compliant)
