With the increasing demand for data transmission in Internet applications, cloud computing, big data and HD video, the demand for network bandwidth has increased dramatically. 100G optical modules can provide a transmission rate of 100Gb/s, which is able to meet the demand for high bandwidth. In this article, we will focus on 100G QSFP28 SR4 short-distance transmission solutions, through the connection scheme and the application areas, for you to expand the introduction.

Technical development of 100G optical modules

Compared with lower rate optical modules, 100G optical modules have higher transmission bandwidth and greater data capacity, making it capable of meeting the growing demand for network traffic. During the technological development of 100G optical modules, the following are some of the important technological advances:

Digital Signal Processing Technology: By decoding and processing optical signals in the electrical domain, functions such as channel equalization, timing recovery and phase estimation can be achieved.

Ultra-strong error correction coding technology: The third generation of ultra-strong error correction coding technology is adopted. It recovers the transmitted data in the case of high channel noise and improves the system performance.

100G Optical Module Connection Solution

The 100G consists of four 25G channels that utilize MPO/MTP fiber optic patch cords to achieve 100G QSFP28 SR4 optical modules for direct connect data transmission.

100G QSFP28 SR4 Optical Module Application Areas

ETU-LINK 100G QSFP28 SR4 Optical Module is mainly applied to play an important role in high-speed data center interconnection, server connectivity, storage systems, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and virtualization environments, providing high-bandwidth and low-latency data transmission solutions.

To summarize, the technical maturity of 100G optical modules has gradually increased over time, and the manufacturing cost has gradually decreased. This makes it a common choice in scenarios such as enterprises and data centers.
