HP JQ299A 100Gb/s QSFP 80km 1546.91nm LC Single-mode Fiber Transceiver

Product Description

The HP JQ299A is a high-density 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) transceiver module in the QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) form factor. This transceiver is specifically engineered for extremely long-reach applications over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cable, supporting distances of up to 80 kilometers. The extended reach makes it suitable for demanding long-haul telecommunications networks, metro area networks (MANs), and critical data center interconnects (DCIs) that span significant geographical distances. Operating at a precise wavelength of 1546.91nm, this transceiver is designed for use within DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) systems. DWDM allows multiple high-speed signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber strand by assigning each signal a unique wavelength, maximizing fiber capacity. The module typically uses an LC connector, which is the standard for single-mode fiber connections, ensuring robust and reliable physical connectivity. The HP JQ299A provides a powerful solution for extending 100GbE connectivity across vast distances. Its ability to maintain high-speed data transmission over 80km of single-mode fiber is crucial for service providers and large enterprises that require high-bandwidth, low-latency links between geographically dispersed locations. This transceiver is a key component for modern optical networks, enabling the high-capacity data transport necessary for cloud services, content delivery, and backbone network infrastructure.
