Arista QSFP-100G-DZ2-44 100Gb/s 100G DWDM QSFP transceiver XCVR

Description

The Arista QSFP-100G-DZ2-44 is a high-performance optical transceiver module engineered for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) applications. It utilizes the QSFP28 form factor, which is the standard for 100GbE connectivity, offering four independent transmit and receive channels. This module is specifically designed for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems, enabling the transmission of multiple data streams over a single optical fiber by assigning each stream to a different wavelength (color) of light. This transceiver is crucial for building high-capacity optical networks, particularly in data center interconnect (DCI) scenarios, metro networks, and long-haul telecommunications. The DWDM capability allows network operators to significantly increase the bandwidth capacity of existing fiber infrastructure without deploying new cables. The 'DZ2' designation often implies specific features related to tunable wavelengths or compatibility with certain DWDM platforms, allowing for flexibility in network design and management. The '44' might refer to a specific channel or frequency grid. The QSFP-100G-DZ2-44 typically features LC duplex connectors for its optical interface. Its operational wavelength is tunable across a specific range within the C-band (commonly 1525nm to 1565nm), allowing it to be programmed to operate on any available DWDM channel. This flexibility simplifies network deployment and maintenance. It complies with relevant industry standards such as IEEE 802.3bm and SFF-8665, ensuring interoperability with compatible networking equipment.
