Description

The QSFP-100G-FR-ARISTA-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Arista QSFP-100G-FR-ARISTA. This QSFP28 transceiver provides plug-and-play compatibility with Arista network platforms supporting 100GBASE-FR. - IEEE 802.3cd and 100G Lambda MSA compliance guarantee interoperability across vendor platforms supporting 100GBASE-FR - QSFP28 form factor, 100G data rate (4x25G NRZ electrical interface), single-mode fibre, 2km reach at 1310nm wavelength - Single lambda PAM4 modulation uses duplex LC connector for simplified cabling compared to parallel optics - DOM support provides real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, bias current, and optical power levels - Requires FEC enabled on host system to achieve full 2km reach over G.652 single-mode fibre

Features

• IEEE 802.3cd and 100G Lambda MSA 100G-FR compliance ensures optical layer interoperability with any vendor equipment supporting the same standard, enabling multi-vendor deployments
• Single lambda architecture with PAM4 modulation converts 4x25Gbps NRZ electrical lanes to 1x50Gbaud PAM4 optical signal via onboard DSP gearbox, simplifying fibre infrastructure with duplex LC instead of parallel optics
• Forward Error Correction must be enabled on the host system to achieve specified 2km reach and ensure reliable transmission with PAM4 signalling over G.652 single-mode fibre
• EML transmitter with cooled laser and PIN photodiode receiver deliver the optical performance required for 2km links at 1310nm centre wavelength
• Hot-swappable QSFP28 MSA form factor allows in-service installation and replacement without powering down the host platform
• Digital diagnostic monitoring via I2C interface exposes real-time parameters including transmit/receive optical power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage for proactive link management
• 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range suits standard data centre and enterprise networking environments

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Arista QSFP-100G-FR-ARISTA?
A: Yes. This transceiver is fully compatible based on matching the QSFP28 form factor, 100GBASE-FR standard, 1310nm wavelength, 2km reach, and compliance with IEEE 802.3cd and 100G Lambda MSA. It is plug-and-play in any Arista platform that supports the QSFP-100G-FR-ARISTA.

Q: Which Arista platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver works in any Arista switch with QSFP28 ports that support 100GBASE-FR operation. The host platform must provide 4x25G NRZ electrical lanes and support FEC to achieve the full 2km reach. Consult Arista's transceiver compatibility matrix for your specific platform and EOS version.

Q: Why does this transceiver require FEC to be enabled?
A: PAM4 modulation uses four amplitude levels instead of two, which increases spectral efficiency but also increases susceptibility to noise. FEC is required to detect and correct bit errors introduced during transmission, ensuring reliable operation at the full 2km distance specification over G.652 single-mode fibre.

Q: How does this compare to 100GBASE-DR for reach and fibre requirements?
A: Both 100GBASE-FR and 100GBASE-DR use single lambda 1310nm with PAM4 and duplex LC connectors. The difference is reach: DR specifies 500m, while FR extends to 2km. Both require G.652 single-mode fibre and FEC. FR provides four times the reach for applications requiring campus or metro connectivity beyond the data centre.

Q: What is the power budget and what does it mean for link design?
A: This transceiver provides approximately 4dB optical link budget between minimum transmit power and receiver sensitivity. After accounting for connector losses, splice losses, and fibre attenuation at 1310nm, the remaining budget determines actual achievable distance. The 2km specification assumes typical G.652 fibre loss and properly cleaned connectors.
