The JBX01429 100GBASE-ER4-Lite QSFP28 Transceiver represents the pinnacle of optical connectivity solutions for modern enterprise networks. This sophisticated module combines extended transmission distance, superior reliability, and seamless compatibility with leading network infrastructure platforms like Palo Alto Networks. Technical Specifications: The transceiver operates at 100GB data rates using the 100GBASE-ER4-Lite standard, qualified to IEEE 802.3bm specifications. It transmits signals across 40 kilometers of standard singlemode fiber with a 9/125 micron core, utilizing duplex LC/UPC connectors for bidirectional communication. The compact QSFP28 form factor allows multiple units to be deployed in high-density server and switch environments without compromising port density. Construction & Safety: Featured within a robust metal case with integrated laser transmitter technology, this module undergoes rigorous quality testing. It maintains Class 1 Laser certification under FDA 21CFR 1040.10 standards and achieves TUV and UL compliance, ensuring safe operation in professional environments. The RoHS/ELV directive compliance (EU 2002/95/EC) makes it suitable for environmentally conscious organizations. Performance & Applications: Ideal for data center interconnects, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and long-haul enterprise connections, this transceiver excels in scenarios requiring reliable, high-speed transmission over extended distances. The 40km reach accommodates campus networks, multi-building facilities, and service provider backbone applications where traditional shorter-reach modules prove insufficient. Compatibility & Integration: Direct replacement for Palo Alto Networks PAN-QSFP28-100GBASE-ER4, the JBX01429 integrates seamlessly into existing network architectures. Custom brand programming is available, allowing white-label deployment and OEM integration. The module supports standard singlemode fiber installations, requiring no special cabling upgrades for most existing infrastructure. Operational Reliability: With an operating temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F), this transceiver performs consistently across diverse environmental conditions. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while the RoHS compliance ensures compliance with current and future environmental regulations. Value Proposition: Choose the JBX01429 for enterprise-grade optical networking that delivers performance, compliance, and compatibility. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 makes upgrading your network infrastructure more accessible than ever.
