Applications and Optical Link Design
Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.
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.
Before commissioning, measure the complete single-mode channel against the stated budget for 80km. Inspect every Duplex LC/UPC connection and record diagnostic power where supported. Both ends must agree on rate, wavelength and optical standard.
Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing
Factory verification starts with the expected QSFP-ZR4-100G identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is 2~6.5dBm; the stated optical power budget is 30dBm. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. 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.
Structured Fiber Pathways and Serviceability
Treat the transceiver as part of the complete channel. Follow the intended patch-panel route, maintain bend control and leave service access around the port. Confirm connector polish and fiber type at every mated pair; a documented service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 103.125Gbps (4x 25.78Gbps), wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 80km.
Ordering Information
Use QSFP-ZR4-100G as the compatibility cross-reference and QSFP-ZR4-100G as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible transceiver supplied under our own manufacturer identity, not an original equipment manufacturer module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Duplex LC/UPC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 80km, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
