How QSFP28 LR4 Works
The QSFP28 LR4 module transmits 100Gbps using four independent 25Gbps optical channels, each operating at a different wavelength. These signals are multiplexed into a single fiber using WDM technology.
This design allows:
- Long-distance transmission (up to 10km)
- High stability over single-mode fiber
- Efficient bandwidth utilization
Compatibility
This module is widely compatible with:
- Huawei CloudEngine series switches
- Enterprise core switches
- Data center optical networks
- Telecom transmission systems
Applications
- Data center interconnect (DCI)
- Enterprise backbone networks
- Metro Ethernet
- Cloud infrastructure
- High-speed ISP transmission links
QSFP28 LR4 vs Other 100G Modules
LR4 vs SR4 (Short Range)
- LR4: Single-mode fiber, up to 10km
- SR4: Multimode fiber, up to 100m
- LR4 is ideal for long-distance backbone links
LR4 vs CWDM4
- LR4: Higher performance, 10km reach
- CWDM4: Lower cost, up to 2km
- LR4 is preferred for carrier-grade deployments
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is QSFP28-100G-LR4 compatible with Huawei switches?
Yes, this module is designed to be compatible with Huawei QSFP28 ports supporting 100GBASE-LR4 standard.
Q2: What fiber type is required?
It requires single-mode fiber (SMF G.652) with LC duplex connectors.
Q3: Can it be used for multimode fiber?
No. LR4 is designed for single-mode fiber only. For multimode, SR4 modules should be used.
Q4: What is the maximum transmission distance?
Up to 10km under standard SMF conditions.
Q5: Does it support DDM monitoring?
Yes, it supports full Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status tracking.
