Is the transceiver compatible with switches from other manufacturers?

The 100GBASE-LR4 standard is supported by most leading network equipment manufacturers; compatibility with a specific model is recommended to be verified before ordering.

Can already-installed single-mode fiber be used?

Yes, the transceiver works with standard G.652 single-mode fiber, which is widely used in existing optical infrastructure.

How does the number of splices affect the actual reach?

Each splice and connector introduces attenuation; with a large number of connection points, the actual reach may be less than the maximum — an optical budget calculation is required.

QSFP28 100GBASE-LR4-20 module, LC connector, range up to 10 km

The Pixietech QSFP28 100GBASE-LR4 optical transceiver with an LC connector and a reach of up to 10 kilometers opens up the possibilities of 100-gigabit data transmission over existing single-mode optical infrastructure. LR4 technology combines four optical channels in a single transceiver, providing a total speed of 100 Gbit/s using a pair of fibers with LC connectors. This is a solution for backbone nodes, large data centers, and telecom operators where traditional 40G links can no longer handle the load.
