The 100G QSFP28 SWDM4 optical transceiver transmits data over multi mode fibre at a distance of up to 100m. The Cisco 100GBASE Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) portfolio offers customers a wide variety of high-density and low-power 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data center, high-performance computing networks, enterprise core and distribution layers, and service provider. The 100G QSFP28 transceiver modules are designed for use in 100G Ethernet links over duplex multimode fiber. They are compliant with the QSFP28 MSA1 and IEEE 802. With a transmission rate of up to 100 Gbps, 100G transceivers serve as essential components for transceiver requirements in many networks. As enterprises and data centers continue to scale bandwidth to support cloud computing, virtualization, AI workloads, and large-scale storage systems. Continuing our discussion on 100G optical modules, let's explore the essential 100G transmission standards—SR4, DR1, DR4, BiDi SR, LR4, CWDM4, SWDM4, ER, and ZR. Top-of-Rack (ToR) and End-of-Row (EoR) switch-to-switch interconnects. Enterprise backbones with short-range aggregation needs. High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster networks.
