The Cisco compatible QSFP28 100G-ER1 Optics is specifically designed for long-distance (40km) single-mode links, making it ideal for long distance 100G interconnects in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications carrier environments.
Features an EML transmitter and a APD(Avalanche Photon Diode) receiver, and is equipped with a high-performance Broadcom/Marvell DSP chip.
Operating at a wavelength of 1310nm (single-wavelength 100G 1310nm channel) and employing a Duplex LC/UPC single-mode connector, it provides point-to-point connectivity over link distances of up to 40km (using OS2 SMF fiber with FEC enabled).
It supports DDM/DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring).
The 100G-ER1 uses 100G PAM4 single-wavelength technology and can only be connected to the ER1, not directly to the 100G-ER4.
