Brocade 100G QSFP28 SW4 Optical Transceiver

About Brocade 100G QSFP28 SW4 Optical Transceiver in Bangladesh

The Brocade 100G QSFP28 SW4 Optical Transceiver is a high-speed 100Gbps optical module designed for short-reach data center and enterprise networking applications. Using the compact QSFP28 form factor and 850nm multimode optical technology, this transceiver provides high-density 100G connectivity between compatible Brocade networking platforms and other supported 100G Ethernet equipment.

The SW4 optical transceiver is designed for short-distance optical links over multimode fiber, making it particularly suitable for data center switch-to-switch connections, rack-to-rack links, network aggregation, and other high-bandwidth applications where the connected devices are located within a relatively short physical distance.

With support for up to 100 meters over OM4 multimode fiber and up to 70 meters over OM3 multimode fiber, the Brocade 100G QSFP28 SW4 provides a practical solution for high-density 100G Ethernet deployments. The exact supported distance depends on the optical link budget, fiber quality, connector loss, and complete cabling infrastructure.

The QSFP28 form factor provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for compatible Brocade switches, directors, routers, and other supported networking equipment. Before installation, the exact Brocade platform, transceiver compatibility, optical standard, fiber type, connector, and firmware requirements should be verified.

Brocade 100G QSFP28 SW4 Optical Transceiver Specifications & Features

Overview

The Brocade 100G QSFP28 SW4 Optical Transceiver provides high-bandwidth optical connectivity for short-distance 100Gbps networking applications. Its QSFP28 form factor combines high throughput with compact physical dimensions, allowing compatible networking equipment to support high-density optical interfaces.

The 850nm multimode optical architecture is designed for short-reach applications typically found inside data centers. The module is suitable for switch-to-switch, rack-to-rack, aggregation, and other high-speed links where the optical distance remains within the supported multimode fiber range.

OM4 multimode fiber can provide up to 100 meters of supported reach, while OM3 can provide up to 70 meters under the specified optical conditions. Proper MPO/MTP cabling, polarity, lane mapping, and optical link budget are important for reliable operation.

100G SW4 Short-Reach Optical Technology

The SW4 optical architecture is intended for short-distance 100Gbps connectivity over multimode fiber. Using 850nm optical transmission, it provides a cost-effective and high-density solution for network links within data centers and other controlled environments.

The Brocade 100G QSFP28 SW4 is especially appropriate for environments where network devices are located within the supported multimode fiber distance. For longer-distance links, a suitable single-mode 100G optical solution should be selected instead.

QSFP28 Form Factor

The QSFP28 form factor is widely used for 100Gbps Ethernet networking. Its compact design allows compatible Brocade switches, directors, routers, and other supported equipment to provide high-density optical connectivity.

As a pluggable module, the transceiver can be installed or replaced on supported equipment without replacing the entire networking platform. Actual hot-plug behavior depends on the host equipment.

MPO/MTP Fiber Connectivity

The Brocade 100G QSFP28 SW4 uses an MPO/MTP-style parallel fiber interface. Proper connector type, polarity, fiber lane mapping, and cabling architecture are important when deploying the optical link.

For OM4 installations, the module can support links up to 100 meters, while OM3 installations can support up to 70 meters, subject to the complete optical channel and link budget.

Compatibility

• Compatible Brocade 100G switches
• Compatible Brocade directors
• Compatible Brocade networking platforms
• Compatible 100G QSFP28 interfaces
