Product Overview
The Cisco QSFP-100G-ER4L-S transceiver is built for high-capacity 100G Ethernet applications requiring long-distance reach over single-mode fiber (SMF). With support for link lengths up to 40km when used with Forward Error Correction (FEC), this module enables efficient, scalable data center interconnects and carrier-grade networks. The device transports the 100G Ethernet signal using four wavelength channels on a standard duplex LC connector setup, with integrated multiplexing and demultiplexing for simplified integration and deployment.
Designed to support the G.652 µm fiber optic standard, the module ensures consistent signal integrity across long distances. It provides backward compatibility with Cisco’s CPAK ER4-Lite modules (25km) and IEEE 100GBASE-ER4 CFP Ethernet modules (30km), while also interoperating with IEEE 100GBASE-LR4 modules up to 10km, enhancing flexibility in multi-platform environments. With compact QSFP form factor dimensions (0.53" height x 0.72" width x 2.85" depth) and a weight of 3.53g, the transceiver offers robust performance in a space-efficient design, complying with TAA regulations for government procurement.
