100G is going to be more popular and even the mainstream speed rate by the end of due to the more efficient producing process. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehend the types and standards of the 100G optical transceiver. You may also want to know which manufacturer you can rely on if you are considering a long-term cooperation.
With competitive price and timely delivery, Wirenet sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
1. 100G Optical Transceivers Types
Let’s have a quick review on the 40G optical transceiver, QSFP+ is the only form factor for 40G while the situation is quite different to 100G. Actually, 100G optical transceivers have a bunch of form factors like CFP/CFP2/CFP4, CXP, and QSFP28, the letter “C” is an abbreviation of “centum,” and “Q” means “Quad.” CFP4 and QSFP28 are the latest form factors for the 100G optical transceiver, in fact, QSFP28 has recently become the most popular form factor by now. QSFP28 is an industry format jointly developed and supported by many network component vendors, reaches the data rate of 4x28 Gbps.
2. 100G Optical Transceivers Standards
In addition to the IEEE standards, there are also some standards that have been used to determine 100GE transceivers. For example, Parallel Single-Mode (PSM4) and Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM4) developed by MSA industry groups.
The 100G PSM4 specification meets the requirement for a point-to-point 100 Gbps link over eight single mode fibers up to at least 500m. Four identical and independent lanes are used for each signal direction. It provides a low-cost solution for long reach data center optical interconnection and aims at the service that needs a parallel single mode module.
QSFP28 CWDM4 has many advantages, such as low power consumption, high compatibility, Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support and so on. Nowadays, it has been widely applied to Local Area Network (LAN,) Wide Area Network (WAN,) Ethernet switches, and router application.

4 Things You Need to Know to Choose Optical Transceivers
In today’s technological landscape, the demand for 100G Ethernet continues to surge, driving the need for 100G optical modules. The QSFP28 is the preferred form factor, owing to its compact size and minimal power consumption. As these module plays a pivotal role in network construction, understanding the various types available is essential for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
The 100G QSFP28 optical transceiver is crafted for 100 Gigabit Ethernet, EDR InfiniBand, or 32G Fibre Channel applications. Sporting a footprint akin to the 40G QSFP+, the QSFP28 operates on four channels of high-speed data rates at 25Gbps per channel to deliver 100Gbps. Compared to 100G CFP/CFP2/CFP4, QSFP28 100G optics surpass them with the strong ability to increase density, lower power consumption, and reduced price per bit.
Understanding 100G QSFP28 Standards
100G QSFP28 optical modules are defined by two primary organizations: IEEE and MSA (Multi-Source Agreement). “QSFP” stands for Quad (4-channel) Small Form Factor Pluggable, while “28” denotes a maximum transmission rate of 28Gbps per channel. Suffixes like “SR4,” “LR4,” “ER4,” and “ZR4” signify short range, long range, extended range, and ultimate range respectively. In this newsletter, we will look into the Singlemode (SM) modules.
100G QSFP28 Four Lambda Transceivers
In transceivers with four lambdas, data transmission is distributed across 4 separate wavelengths. Each lane has its own transmitter and receiver operating at 25Gbps, aggregating to the total data rate of 100Gbps. The SM wavelengths can be further classified to LAN WDM (nm, nm, nm and nm) and CWDM (nm, nm, nm and nm), with the latter offering better cost efficiency due to the wider separation of wavelengths.
