Extend Optical Network Links up to 40km Using QSFP28 100G ER4L OTU4 Transceivers
To ensure continuous connectivity, service providers and network administrators rely on Optical Transport Network (OTN) solutions capable of reaching distances up to 40km when host Forward Error Correction (FEC) is applied. However, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) options are limited, with most available components supporting only 10km to 30km ranges.
Our QSFP28 100G ER4L transceiver with Optical Transport Unit 4 (OTU4) integrates smoothly into existing transport networks, offering a cost-effective alternative to high-priced transport equipment. This transceiver supports 100G Ethernet and OTU4 protocols for distances up to 30km, extending to 40km with FEC enabled. Its compact QSFP28 form factor, combined with ProLabs’ fast availability and broad compatibility, helps optimise transport network performance efficiently.
