Brocade XBR-000268 100Gb/s QSFP28 100m 850nm MPO MMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Brocade XBR-000268 is a high-performance optical transceiver module designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It utilizes the QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) form factor, which is the standard for 100GbE, offering increased bandwidth density over previous generations. This transceiver is specifically engineered for short-reach communication within modern data centers, leveraging multimode fiber (MMF) to achieve its specified transmission distances. This module operates at a wavelength of 850nm, making it suitable for parallel optics applications commonly used in high-speed Ethernet. The MPO connector interface is standard for high-density fiber optic connections, facilitating the aggregation of multiple fiber strands for parallel transmission. The XBR-000268 is compliant with relevant IEEE standards, ensuring interoperability with other compliant networking equipment and enabling the deployment of high-bandwidth links. With a maximum transmission distance of 100 meters over multimode fiber, this transceiver is ideal for inter-rack or intra-rack connections within a data center. It supports the massive data throughput required for server aggregation, high-performance computing, and AI/ML workloads. The pluggable nature of the QSFP28 module allows for easy installation, replacement, and upgrades, contributing to the flexibility and scalability of the network infrastructure.
