QSFP-100G-SR4-S Overview

QSFP-100G-SR4-S is a Cisco QSFP28 optical transceiver module for 100 Gigabit Ethernet short-reach links. The module uses multi-mode fiber as the optical media for short-distance high-density 100G network connectivity. Its host interface plugs into Cisco 100G QSFP ports on supported switches, routers, adapters, and line cards. The optical interface uses an MPO-12 connector for 12-fiber parallel cabling across SR4 lanes. The transmit and receive wavelength window spans 840 nm to 860 nm for optical operation. Maximum link distance reaches 70 m on OM3 and 100 m on OM4 cable grade. The operating temperature class is Commercial for standard indoor network equipment environments. Digital optical monitoring support reports module operating diagnostics through compatible platform management tools and host software. The hardware belongs to Cisco's 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP optics portfolio and maps to the QSFP optics ordering entry.

TX power range delivers -8.4 dBm to +2.4 dBm per lane. RX sensitivity provides -10.3 dBm per lane for the receive path. RX overload point accepts +2.4 dBm per lane before exceeding the listed receive limit. Transmitter architecture uses short-wavelength operation over four parallel optical lanes. Receiver architecture terminates four parallel receive lanes through the SR4 optical path. QSFP-100G-SR4-S follows 100GBASE-SR4 behavior for parallel Ethernet transmission. IEEE 802.3ba requirements govern the 100GBASE-SR4 link specification. IEEE 802.3bm compliance applies to the high-speed electrical interface. At 3.5 W, power consumption stays within Cisco's listed QSFP module budget. The optical specification separates transmit output, receive input, and wavelength values by lane. Power values use dBm units across both transmit and receive measurements. The module envelope follows Cisco's shared QSFP connector module dimensions. Cisco QSFP connector modules typically weigh 100 grams or less. The pull-tab specification uses beige as its module color marker for Cisco.

Compatible families include Mellanox ConnectX-5 and Cisco Network Convergence System 1002. Cisco Network Convergence System 5000 and 5500 families also support listed platform designs. Cisco Nexus 3000, 7700 M3-Series, 9200, and 9300 families fit compatible host planning. Cisco Nexus X9432, X9636, X97160, and X9736 modules align with supported Nexus chassis planning. Data centre interconnect, aggregation, and enterprise campus backbone roles match high-capacity switching paths. Network teams use those families for edge and service provider aggregation designs. Required cable grades are OM3 or OM4. OM5 also appears in Cisco's listed cable grade options. Buy QSFP-100G-SR4-S from ORM Systems in new and certified refurbished condition.

QSFP-100G-SR4-S Use Case

Top-of-Rack Server Access Link

QSFP-100G-SG-SR4-S sits in a top-of-rack switch and carries 100G Ethernet traffic from server access equipment toward aggregation over MPO-12 multimode fiber. The module uses 850nm SR4 optics across 12-fiber parallel cabling, which matches short in-row or adjacent-row fiber paths inside the data hall. Engineers validate OM3 distance at 70m or OM4 distance at 100m before patching. The result is a high-capacity server access handoff that stays within the installed multimode fiber design.

Leaf-to-Spine Fabric Connection

QSFP-100G-SR4-S operates between Cisco leaf and spine switches where the fabric uses short 100G multimode links. Each module terminates an MPO-12 parallel fiber path and supports 100GBase Ethernet rate across the switch fabric. Network teams place the transceiver in supported Cisco QSFP ports, map fiber polarity, then verify lane alignment and interface status during turn-up. The result is predictable 100G fabric capacity across short rack-to-rack paths without changing to single-mode optics.

Aggregation Row Uplink

The transceiver occupies a Cisco 100G QSFP aggregation port and connects an access or distribution row back to a higher-capacity switching layer over OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber. QSFP-100G-SR4-S keeps the optical design on SR4 parallel cabling, with MPO-12 connectors and short-reach distance limits defining the patch plan. Engineers standardize matching modules at both ends and reserve LC-based optics for different fiber plant. The result is a clean 100G uplink path across short aggregation runs.

QSFP-100G-SR4-S sits in Cisco's 100GBASE QSFP optical module portfolio as a short-reach multimode option. It is suited to 70m OM3 and 100m OM4 links, while adjacent Cisco 100G QSFP modules cover shorter multimode, LC-based multimode, 500m single-mode, 2km single-mode, 10km single-mode, and longer reach designs.

What form factor does QSFP-100G-SR4-S use?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S uses the QSFP form factor for Cisco 100G QSFP ports. The product is commonly described as a QSFP28 100G optical module because it operates in 100 Gigabit Ethernet environments. Host platform support must be checked against Cisco compatibility data before ordering, especially for software release and port mode requirements.

What data rate does QSFP-100G-SR4-S support?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S supports 100GBase Ethernet rate for high-bandwidth optical links. The SR4 design uses parallel multimode optics rather than a single duplex LC fiber pair. It is selected when the switch, router, or line card needs a 100 Gigabit Ethernet short-reach uplink or server-facing connection over MPO multimode fiber.

What wavelength does QSFP-100G-SR4-S use?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S uses an 850nm nominal wavelength over multimode fiber. Cisco optical specifications list the transmit and receive wavelength range as 840nm to 860nm. This makes the module aligned with short-reach multimode fiber designs commonly used inside data centers, network rooms, and aggregation cabinets with OM3, OM4, or OM5 cabling.

What reach does QSFP-100G-SR4-S support?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S supports link lengths up to 70m over OM3 multimode fiber and 100m over OM4 multimode fiber. Cisco cabling specifications also list 100m over OM5. Actual link planning should account for fiber grade, connector loss, cleanliness, patching points, and validated support on the Cisco host platform.

What connector does QSFP-100G-SR4-S use?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S uses an MPO-12 connector for 12-fiber parallel multimode cabling. This is different from duplex LC transceivers that operate over two fiber strands. The module is normally paired with MPO/MTP multimode fiber trunks or patch cords that match the polarity, connector polish, fiber grade, and port layout of the deployment.

What power consumption is listed for QSFP-100G-SR4-S?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S is listed by Cisco with 3.5W power consumption. That figure helps network teams plan thermal load, power budgets, and optics density across 100G line cards or fixed switches.

What is QSFP-100G-SR4-S used for?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S is used for short-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet optical links over multimode fiber. Common roles include switch-to-switch uplinks, top-of-rack to aggregation links, spine-leaf fabric connections, and high-speed interconnects inside the same facility. Its MPO-12 parallel fiber interface suits structured cabling environments already designed around SR4 optics.

What environment size fits QSFP-100G-SR4-S?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S fits environments where 100G links stay within short multimode distances, such as data halls, equipment rooms, aggregation rows, or campus network rooms. It is not the right choice for long-distance single-mode fiber runs. The 70m OM3 and 100m OM4 reach profile makes it most useful inside controlled fiber plant boundaries.

What workloads suit QSFP-100G-SR4-S?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S suits high-throughput network paths carrying east-west data center traffic, storage replication traffic, virtualization clusters, backup traffic, or aggregated access traffic. The module provides a 100G optical handoff where copper DAC reach is too short and single-mode optics are unnecessary. It supports dense short-range network designs using parallel multimode infrastructure.

Does QSFP-100G-SR4-S work for data center spine-leaf deployments?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S works in spine-leaf deployments when the leaf and spine switches have Cisco-supported 100G QSFP ports and the cable distance fits the OM3 or OM4 reach limits. Its MPO-12 SR4 interface aligns with short in-row or cross-row links where structured multimode fiber connects switches across racks.

Which Cisco platforms are compatible with QSFP-100G-SR4-S?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S is supported on Cisco switches and routers with compatible 100G QSFP ports, subject to Cisco's transceiver compatibility matrix. Relevant platform families often include Cisco Nexus, Catalyst, ASR, and NCS systems when the exact hardware, line card, port type, and software release list the module as supported.

What cabling standard should be used with QSFP-100G-SR4-S?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S should be used with multimode MPO-12 cabling that matches 100GBASE-SR4 link requirements. OM3 supports up to 70m, while OM4 supports up to 100m. Cable polarity, connector cleanliness, fiber loss, and MPO/MTP pinning should be confirmed before installation because SR4 parallel optics depend on correct lane alignment.

Can QSFP-100G-SR4-S connect to LC duplex fiber?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S uses MPO-12 parallel fiber, so it is not a direct fit for duplex LC fiber plant. LC-based Cisco alternatives such as QSFP-100G-SR1.2, QSFP-100G-SR-S, QSFP-100G-CWDM4-S, or QSFP-100G-LR4-S fit different cabling designs. The correct choice depends on fiber type, reach, connector interface, and host support.

Does QSFP-100G-SR4-S interoperate with other 100GBASE-SR4 interfaces?

QSFP-100G-SR4-S is designed for 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet links and Cisco states that QSFP modules are interoperable with other IEEE-compliant 100GBASE interfaces where applicable. Module-to-module interoperability should still be checked through Cisco interoperability resources, especially when mixing Cisco optics, third-party optics, different host platforms, or breakout cabling.
