Product Review

The Arista QSFP-100G-SR4 transceiver excels in providing high-bandwidth optical links, supporting 100G Ethernet over multimode fiber with distances up to 70m on OM3 and 100m on OM4, making it suitable for short-range, high-speed data transmissions. However, its reliance on MPO connectors may limit flexibility in certain network environments where duplex LC connectors are preferred. Additionally, while it offers considerable reach and compatibility with IEEE standards, the necessity for FEC (Forward Error Correction) to achieve its full 40km range could be a drawback in environments where FEC is not supported or desired.

Overview

The Arista QSFP-100G-SR4 is a 100GBASE SR4 transceiver designed for high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber. It is equipped with an MPO connector and supports 100G Ethernet rates, making it suitable for data center and high-performance computing networks. This transceiver module is capable of transmitting data over distances of up to 70 meters using OM3 multimode fiber and up to 100 meters using OM4 multimode fiber, with a total loss budget of 1.9 dB. The QSFP-100G-SR4 leverages a 12-fiber parallel fiber configuration, enabling efficient and high-bandwidth optical links. It is specifically designed to support the demands of 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections, providing a reliable solution for expanding network capacity.
