Extended reach links for 100Gb
Whether it's a new build or an upgrade of an existing network, the Cisco QSFP-100G-ZR4-S transceiver provides 100G connectivity for platforms located up to 80 km apart on SMF (Single-Mode Fiber).
As network traffic continues to grow driven by increases in wireless and wireline usage, the demand for 100Gb transceivers is needed at a variety of reaches. While Cisco has an existing portfolio of QSFP-100G transceivers for SMF for 500 m, 2 km, 10 km, 25 km, 30 km, and 40 km reaches, the QSFP-100G-ZR4-S transceiver now adds 80 km reach..
The QSFP-100G-ZR4-S enables 100Gb at distances reaching 80km to connecting: wireless access locations to core networks, distant enterprise locations to each other, widely separated regional data centers together, or remote service provider buildings to central offices.
Existing options for 100G connectivity reaching 80km are primarily based on specific chassis, line cards, or large modules. As a result, these solutions tend to require lots of power or take up large amounts of space, resulting in higher costs to deploy and operate. The Cisco QSFP-100G-ZR4-S solution operates with relatively low power and the modules fit into standard QSFP28 ports, resulting in a cost effective solution.
The QSFP-100G-ZR4-S operates in the O-band optical spectrum where fiber optic dispersion is minimal, using traditional direct-detect transceiver technology with NRZ (Nonreturn to Zero) modulation. A SOA (Semiconductor Optical Amplifier) is used to overcome the optical attenuation of the long reach. The lasers in the QSFP-100G-ZR4-S leverage the traditional LAN WDM grid lasers found in other QSFP-100G transceivers. As like many other QSFP28 transceivers, the QSFP-100G-ZR4 has 4 optical and electrical lanes, where each lane is operating at 25Gb. The block diagram in Figure 4, shows the transmit signal of the QSFP-100G-ZR4-S consisting of four lasers each operating at a different wavelength that are muxed into a single optical fiber, and on another fiber in the receive path the optical signal is amplified by an SOA and then demuxed in 4 unique wavelengths and fed into four receivers.
Applications today requiring QSFP-100G-ZR4-S include:
- Wireless: aggregating 4G and 5G fronthaul and midhaul routers
- Service provider: reaching rural and remote COs
