100G QSFP28 DR Single LAMBDA 500 m

Ascent’s QSFP28 100G DR Single Lambda Ethernet module is a transceiver module designed for 500m optical communication applications, and it is compliant with IEEE 802.3cu 100GBASE-DR standard. QS28-100G-DR1-05 can be used in Data Centers, High- speed interconnects within and between switches, routers and transport equipment, Server-Server Clusters, Super-computing interconnections and other network applications. This module incorporates one channel optical signal, on 1310nm center wavelength. The transmitter path incorporates an EML Driver integrated in the DSP and a cooled EML together. On the receiver path, the input optical signal is coupled to a Pin photodiode detector. can convert 4-channel 25.78125Gbit/s electrical data to 1-channel 106.25Gbit/s optical signals. It has been designed to meet the harshest external operating conditions including temperature, humidity and EMI interference. The module offers very high functionality and feature integration, accessible via a two-wire serial interface.

Notes:

1. Average launch power, each lane (min) is informative and not the principal indicator of signal strength. A transmitter with launch power below this value cannot be compliant; however, a value above this does not
ensure compliance.

2. Even if the TDECQ < 1.4 dB for an extinction ratio of ≥ 5 dB or TDECQ < 1.1dB for an extinction ratio of < 5 dB, the OMAouter (min) must exceed this value.

3. Transmitter reflectance is defined looking into the transmitter.

4. Ceq is a coefficient defined in IEEE Std 802.3-2018 clause 121.8.5.3 which accounts for reference equalizer noise enhancement.

5. The receiver shall be able to tolerate, without damage, continuous exposure to an optical signal having this average power level.

6. Average receive power, each lane (min) is informative and not the principal indicator of signal strength. A received power below this value cannot be compliant; however, a value above this does not ensure compliance.

7. Receiver sensitivity (OMAouter), (max) is informative and is defined for a transmitter with a value of SECQ up to 3.4 dB.

8. Measured with conformance test signal at TP3 (see IEEE Std 802.3cd clause 140.7.10) for the BER specified in IEEE Std 802.3cd clause 140.1.1.

9. These test conditions are for measuring stressed receiver sensitivity. They are not characteristics of the receiver.

10. Ceq is a coefficient defined in IEEE Std 802.3-2018 clause 121.8.5.3 which accounts for reference equalizer noise enhancement.
