Q100-ZR4-S-EA Overview
The Cisco Q100-ZR4-S-EA is a 100GBASE Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) transceiver module that provides 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for distances up to 80km over single-mode fiber. This QSFP module utilizes four wavelengths multiplexed over a single fiber pair to provide a cost-effective 100GBASE-ZR4 interface.
The Cisco Q100-ZR4-S-EA is designed for use in high-density 100GbE applications such as data center interconnects, high-performance computing clusters, enterprise core and distribution layers, and service provider networks. Its hot-swappable QSFP form factor allows for easy installation and replacement in compatible Cisco QSFP28 platforms.
With support for link lengths up to 80km, the Cisco Q100-ZR4-S-EA provides extended reach well suited for campus, metropolitan area networks. Forward error correction helps ensure reliable data transmission over long distances.
