The Cisco QSFP-100G-FR-S Transceiver Module is an ideal solution for high-speed, long-distance 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) connectivity over single-mode fiber. Designed to reach up to 2 kilometers, this transceiver uses Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4 (PAM4) signaling technology for efficient data transmission and integrates Forward Error Correction (FEC) to ensure signal integrity. Built in the QSFP28 form factor, this hot-swappable module is compact and easy to install, supporting Cisco’s high-density networking environments for scalable, reliable performance. This module offers Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), providing real-time updates on key metrics such as temperature, laser bias current, and optical output power, ensuring better network visibility and enabling proactive maintenance. The QSFP-100G-FR-S is a cost-effective solution for extending 100GbE connectivity in data centers, campus networks, and high-density networking applications where high data rates, reliability, and space-saving design are priorities.
