CQP‑31100G‑LR4 Product Overview
The CQP‑31100G‑LR4 is a high-performance, hot‑pluggable QSFP28 optical transceiver module designed for 100GBASE‑LR4 Ethernet applications. It employs four wavelength‑division multiplexed (LWDM) channels operating at 1295.56 nm, 1300.05 nm, 1304.58 nm, and 1309.14 nm, enabling a total aggregate data rate of up to 103.125 Gbps for long‑reach single‑mode fiber transmission.

This module is purpose‑built for medium‑to‑long distance interconnects in data centers, campus backbones, metro access networks, and enterprise core routing. With its high reliability, low power consumption, and full industry compliance, it ensures stable long‑distance transmission up to
10 km over single‑mode fiber (SMF). The compact QSFP28 form factor supports high‑density port deployment while maintaining excellent interoperability with major brand switches, routers, and network equipment.
Key Features
- High‑Speed 100G Long‑Reach Transmission: 4 × 25.78125 Gbps WDM channels, supporting 100GBASE‑LR4 and aggregate bandwidth up to 103.125 Gbps.
- Long‑Distance Connectivity: Supports transmission distances up to 10 km over 9/125 μm single‑mode fiber.
- LWDM Optical Technology: Uses four distributed feedback (DFB) lasers and PIN receivers for stable long‑haul performance.
- Industry‑Standard Compliance: Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bm, QSFP28 MSA, SFF‑8665, SFF‑8472, and RoHS‑6 standards.
