100G QSFP28 DWDM Transceiver – C-Band, 80 km
This 100G QSFP28 DWDM transceiver is designed for high-capacity optical transmission in C-band DWDM networks, offering long reach, wavelength flexibility, and low power consumption. It supports all ITU-T wavelengths on the 100 GHz DWDM grid and is optimized for amplified DWDM transport systems and data center interconnect applications. When deployed over single-mode fiber together with EDFA amplification and dispersion compensation modules, the transceiver supports transmission distances of up to 80 km.
The module is fully compliant with QSFP28 industry standards, ensuring broad interoperability with switches, routers, and transport platforms used in modern telecom and data center networks.
