100G QSFP28 CWDM4 Optical Transceiver – 2km Reach, 4x25G, DDM Support

1. Product Overview

The 100G QSFP28 CWDM4 Optical Transceiver (CC-QKKCC0L-SD) is a high-performance, hot-pluggable optical module designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It complies with the CWDM4 MSA standard and supports data transmission up to 2km over single-mode fiber (SMF). The transceiver utilizes four CWDM lanes in the 1270–1330nm range and features digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) for real-time performance tracking. It is ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments.

2. Key Characteristics

• Data rate: 4x25.78125 Gbps (100G Ethernet)
• Reach: Up to 2km over single-mode fiber
• Wavelengths: 1271nm, 1291nm, 1311nm, 1331nm
• Power consumption: ≤3.5W
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C
• Hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
• RoHS compliant

3. Technology & Standards

The transceiver is built on CWDM technology and complies with:

• 100G CWDM4 MSA Specification
• IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-LR4
• QSFP28 MSA Hardware Rev 4.1
• IEC 60825-1 Laser Safety Class 1
• RoHS 6/6 Compliance

4. Working Principle

The module converts four electrical lanes of 25.78125 Gbps into four CWDM optical signals using uncooled distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. The optical signals are multiplexed into a single fiber for transmission. At the receiver end, a demultiplexer separates the wavelengths, which are then converted back to electrical signals by PIN photodiodes. Integrated CDR circuits ensure signal integrity across the 2km link.

5. Applications

• Data center interconnects and backbone
• High-speed Ethernet switches and routers
• Server and storage area networks (SAN)
• High-performance computing clusters
• Network load balancers and hubs

9. FAQ

Q: What is the difference between CWDM4 and LR4?
A: CWDM4 uses coarse wavelength division multiplexing with wider channel spacing, making it more cost-effective for 2km applications compared to LR4.

Q: Does this transceiver support digital diagnostics?
A: Yes, it provides full DDM functionality for monitoring temperature, voltage, TX power, RX power, and laser bias current.

Q: What type of fiber is required?
A: Single-mode fiber (SMF) with OS2 specification is recommended for optimal performance.

10. Precautions

• Use only with single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Avoid bending fiber beyond minimum bend radius
• Keep optical connectors clean to prevent signal degradation
• Observe ESD precautions during handling and installation
• Do not operate beyond maximum rated temperature
