QSFP-100G-LR4-S Overview

QSFP-100G-LR4-S is a Cisco QSFP28 optical transceiver module for 100 Gigabit Ethernet operation. The module uses single-mode fiber as its physical media type. Its optical interface uses duplex LC connectors for two-fiber transmission. The transmit and receive wavelengths are 1295 nm, 1300 nm, 1304 nm, and 1309 nm. The module supports a maximum link distance of 10 km. Commercial temperature operation applies to this standard-temperature LR4 model. DOM support is present for digital optical monitoring. The module carries the 100GBASE-LR4 signal over four optical lanes. The LR4 optical path operates across a standard G.652 single-mode fiber pair.

Transmit power range delivers -4.3 dBm to +4.5 dBm per lane. RX sensitivity reaches -10.6 dBm per lane for the optical receiver path. RX overload point is +4.5 dBm per lane. With IEEE 100GBASE-LR4, the optical specification does not employ FEC. At 4.0 W, the module stays within Cisco’s QSFP 100G power profile for this product row. IEEE 802.3ba provides the 100GBASE-LR4 standards basis. IEEE 802.3bm applies to the Cisco 100G QSFP module compliance set. SFF-8665 governs the QSFP28 four-lane pluggable transceiver solution. SFF-8636 governs the common management interface. QSFP-100G-LR4-S also aligns with GR-20-CORE, GR-326-CORE, GR-468-CORE, and RoHS 6.

Cisco Nexus 9000, Catalyst 9500, ASR 9000, NCS 4000, NCS 4200, and NCS 5500 families use this optic where platform support lists the SKU. Data centre interconnect, campus backbone, metro aggregation, core handoff, and routed edge deployments use the 100G LR4 link role.

QSFP-100G-LR4-S Use Case

Aggregation to Core Optical Handoff

QSFP-100G-LR4-S terminates a 100GBASE-LR4 uplink between aggregation and core platforms over a duplex G.652 single-mode fiber pair. The module occupies a supported Cisco QSFP28 port and presents a 10 km optical path through LC connectors. Engineers map the interface as a routed link, port channel member, or high-capacity trunk according to the core design. The LR4 standard keeps the long-reach handoff on two fibers without MPO parallel cabling. The network gains a defined 100G backbone path between upper-tier switching domains.

Data Center Interconnect Edge

The transceiver sits at the data center interconnect edge and carries 100G Ethernet traffic across single-mode fiber between facilities within the 10 km LR4 reach envelope. QSFP-100G-LR4-S uses four optical wavelengths inside the module, so the external plant remains a duplex LC fiber pair. Engineers validate loss, patch panels, and receive power before moving production VLANs or routed adjacencies onto the link. The deployment creates a high-capacity inter-site path without changing the fiber route to parallel optics.

Standards-Based 100G Spare Pool

Network operations teams place QSFP-100G-LR4-S in the approved optics pool for Cisco platforms that already run 100GBASE-LR4 links. The module matches 10 km single-mode duplex LC deployments and follows the IEEE LR4 specification without host FEC dependency. Engineers label spares by reach, connector, standard, and supported platform so replacement work does not mix LR4 with LR1, CWDM4, PSM4, or ER4 optics. The result is faster optical replacement with fewer compatibility mistakes during outage response.

QSFP-100G-LR4-S fits enterprise, service provider, and data center networks that already operate 100G interfaces over single-mode fiber. It is most relevant when switch or router ports need high-capacity optical handoff across buildings, rooms, campuses, or facilities without changing to parallel MPO cabling.

Which workloads suit QSFP-100G-LR4-S links?

QSFP-100G-LR4-S links suit high-volume east-west and north-south traffic where 100G bandwidth is required across single-mode fiber. Typical workload patterns include storage replication, aggregation uplinks, routed core transport, virtualization clusters, backup traffic, and high-throughput interconnects between network tiers or facilities.

Does QSFP-100G-LR4-S work for data center interconnects?

QSFP-100G-LR4-S works well for 100G data center interconnects within its 10 km single-mode reach limit. The duplex LC design supports standard two-fiber SMF paths, while the 100GBASE-LR4 standard avoids the need for MPO parallel fiber. Link budget, fiber loss, and platform support still require validation.

Is QSFP-100G-LR4-S compatible with 100GBASE-LR4 standards?

QSFP-100G-LR4-S complies with IEEE 100GBASE-LR4 requirements. That standard is important when planning interoperability with other 100G LR4 optics and platforms. Cisco platform support remains the main purchasing check, because Cisco optics compatibility depends on both the hardware port and the running software version.

Does QSFP-100G-LR4-S require RS-FEC?

QSFP-100G-LR4-S follows the IEEE 100GBASE-LR4 specification, which does not employ FEC for the LR4 link. This separates it from several newer 100G single-wavelength or extended-reach modules that use host-based FEC. Engineers should still match interface configuration to the Cisco platform guidance.

What cable type is required for QSFP-100G-LR4-S?

QSFP-100G-LR4-S requires duplex single-mode fiber with LC connectors for 100GBASE-LR4 operation. The fiber path should be based on G.652 SMF or an equivalent qualified single-mode plant.
