- Hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a 100G Gigabit Ethernet Cisco QSFP port
- Interoperable with other IEEE-compliant 100GBASE interfaces where applicable
- Certified and tested on Cisco QSFP-100G ports for superior performance, quality, and reliability
- High-speed electrical interface compliant to IEEE 802.3bm
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 applications. The QSFP-100G modules are the next generation of 100G transceiver modules solution based on a QSFP form factor.
The Cisco QSFP-100G-DR-S module supports link lengths of up to 500 m over a standard pair of G.652 Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) with duplex LC connectors. The 100 Gigabit Ethernet signal is carried over a single wavelength using onboard PAM4 modulation and FEC. QSFP-100G-DR-S interoperates with 400G transceivers that comply with IEEE 400GBASE-DR4, such as Cisco's QSFP-400G-DR4-S, via fiber break-out cables.
