About This Part
The Brocade 57-1000338-01 is a high-performance 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 LR4 optical transceiver module, engineered for robust and high-density network deployments. This hot-pluggable, quad small form-factor pluggable 28 (QSFP28) module provides a full-duplex 100Gbps link over single-mode fiber (SMF) with a reach of up to 10 kilometers. Adhering to the 100GBASE-LR4 standard, it utilizes four independent 25Gbps optical lanes, each transmitted and received on distinct LAN WDM wavelengths (typically within the 1295nm to 1309nm range). The module features a duplex LC connector for the optical interface and a 38-pin electrical connector for the host system, ensuring seamless integration into compatible Brocade and other vendor networking equipment. Its advanced digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities allow for real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as optical output power, input power, temperature, and supply voltage, crucial for maintaining network integrity and performance in demanding data center and service provider environments. This Brocade 100G QSFP28 LR4 transceiver is primarily deployed in high-speed network infrastructures requiring reliable and extended-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Typical installations include core and aggregation layers of data centers, enterprise networks, and metropolitan area networks (MANs). It is perfectly suited for inter-switch links, router-to-router connections, and server-to-switch uplinks where distances exceed the reach of SR4 transceivers or direct attach copper cables. Telecom operators and large-scale cloud service providers leverage the Part Number 57-1000338-01 to establish robust links between geographically dispersed data centers, enabling critical data replication, disaster recovery solutions, and high-capacity peering points. Its ability to provide 100Gbps over 10km of single-mode fiber makes it an indispensable component for upgrading existing 10GbE or 40GbE infrastructures to meet the escalating demands for bandwidth driven by virtualization, big data analytics, and AI workloads, ensuring future-proof network scalability and performance.
