QSFP-100G-SL4 Cisco 100GBASE-SL4 QSFP Short Link Transceiver

The Cisco QSFP-100G-SL4 is a 100GBASE-SL4 QSFP optical transceiver designed to enable high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber optic links. It is primarily used in data center environments where short distance connections are required, such as interconnecting switches or servers within racks or adjacent racks.

This transceiver is optimized for use with OM4 multimode fiber, supporting link lengths of up to 30 meters, fitting the needs of short-reach applications. Network engineers and IT professionals typically deploy this transceiver in Cisco networking equipment that supports QSFP modules to achieve efficient 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

• Supports 100GBASE-SL4 Ethernet standard
• Operates over OM4 multimode fiber for distances up to 30 meters
• QSFP form factor for high port density and ease of installation
• Designed specifically for short link, data center interconnects
• Compatible with Cisco QSFP-enabled hardware

This transceiver plays a key role in enabling 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections within data centers, particularly in scenarios where fiber runs are relatively short. It helps maintain network performance and scalability by supporting high data rates in compact form factors suitable for dense switch configurations.
