Arista QSFP-100G-DR 100Gb/s 100GBase-DR SMF Optical Transceiver

Product Description

The Arista QSFP-100G-DR is a high-performance optical transceiver module engineered to deliver 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It adheres to the 100GBase-DR standard, which is designed for extended reach applications over single-mode fiber (SMF). The QSFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern networking equipment, particularly those from Arista Networks, known for their high-density and high-performance switches and routers. This transceiver utilizes a 1310nm wavelength, which is characteristic of DR (Direct Attach Reach) optics for SMF, enabling data transmission over significant distances. The 'DR' designation typically implies support for links up to 500 meters or more, depending on the specific implementation and fiber quality, making it suitable for data center interconnects and campus networks. It is designed to provide a reliable and efficient solution for aggregating high-bandwidth traffic. As a hot-swappable module, the QSFP-100G-DR can be installed or removed from a host device without interrupting network operations, simplifying network management and maintenance. Its compliance with IEEE 802.3bs and the QSFP28 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) guarantees interoperability and adherence to industry standards, ensuring seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. This module is a critical component for organizations looking to scale their network capacity with high-speed, long-reach optical links.
