Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The MTP/MPO-12 interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 100G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP28 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

For this multimode module, confirm fiber grade, modal bandwidth and total loss before commissioning. The 200m on OM3 / 300m on OM4 figure applies only under suitable cabling conditions. Inspect every MTP/MPO-12 mating point and match the remote optical standard.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -4~4dBm. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

High-Density Port and Thermal Planning

In a densely populated chassis, connector access and airflow form part of the optical-link design. Confirm that neighboring modules and patch leads leave room for latch operation, and include listed power consumption in the host thermal budget. Assess port density together with fiber management. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 103.125Gbps (4x 25.78Gbps), wavelength 850nm, rated reach 200m on OM3 / 300m on OM4.

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify E100G-QSFP-ESR4, QSFP-ESR4-100G, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility testing for E100G-QSFP-ESR4 combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
