PLANET QSFP-100G-SR4 network transceiver module Fiber optic 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28 850 nm

The PLANET QSFP-100G-SR4 is a fiber optic network transceiver module designed to deliver 100000 Mbit/s connectivity over multimode fiber. Built around the QSFP28 form factor and operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this compact silver-colored module supports short-reach, high-density links commonly used in modern data centers and enterprise aggregation layers. It provides a reliable physical interface using MPO/MTP connectors and is intended for use where high throughput and low-latency optical interconnection are required.

Advantages

This QSFP-100G-SR4 module offers high aggregate bandwidth in a small QSFP28 package, enabling efficient port density and straightforward integration into existing optical infrastructure. Operating at 850 nm and compatible with MPO/MTP connectors, it supports standard short-reach multimode fiber links up to the specified distance. The silver housing provides a durable casing for consistent performance in rack-mounted equipment and optical chassis environments.

Suitable for

• 100G uplinks between switches or aggregation devices in data centers
• Short-reach server-to-switch connections over multimode fiber
• High-density optical patch panels and QSFP28-capable transceiver bays

How to use

Install the PLANET QSFP-100G-SR4 into a QSFP28-compatible transceiver slot on a switch, router, or optical transceiver chassis, ensuring the module is fully seated and latched according to the host device manual. Connect MPO/MTP-terminated multimode fiber patch cables rated for the intended link distance and verify proper polarity and fiber type (multimode). After physical installation, check the host device interface status and diagnostic LEDs or management interface to confirm the link is active and operating at 100G.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber and MPO/MTP patch cords for best performance up to the specified 100 m distance. Ensure proper cleaning of connectors before mating and follow the host equipment vendor guidelines for transceiver compatibility and firmware requirements. Monitor link status through the host device to detect signal degradation or connector issues promptly.
