Lumentum Expands 100G QSFP28 Portfolio With New Short-Reach Datacom Transceiver
March 21 2017 - 8:00AM
Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”) today added one new 100G
short-reach transceiver to its product portfolio, the QSFP28 SR4
which complements the previously announced QSFP28 SWDM4
transceiver. This new product targets short-reach data links at
100Gbps for large data centers as well as smaller enterprise
applications. A live product demonstration with short- and
long-reach transceivers may be seen at OFC 2017 from March 20
– 23, 2017, in Los Angeles, Calif., at the Los Angeles Convention
Center in Lumentum’s booth # 3001.

“With the addition of this new short-reach transceiver, Lumentum
now offers one of the broadest 100G QSFP28 product lines in the
industry,” said Kevin Redner, product line manager, Datacom. “We’ve
leveraged our vertically integrated heritage by designing and
manufacturing key components in our short-reach solutions -- VCSELs
(vertical cavity surface emitting laser) and photo detectors. This
capability is another factor that differentiates us from the
majority of other suppliers.”
The 100G SR4 module offers a fully IEEE standards compliant
solution operating on an eight-lane parallel-ribbon fiber cable for
customers who prefer solutions with IEEE compliance. Customers that
are looking to upgrade to 100G who have an installed base of legacy
duplex multimode fiber (MMF), and would like to re-use it, now have
the option of using the SWDM4 module. SWDM technology combines four
optical datastreams onto a single fiber in each direction (Tx and
Rx) resulting in a factor of four, or 75%, fewer fibers required
per 100G link.
The Lumentum 100G SR4 and 100G SWDM4 are VCSEL based short reach
fiber optic transceivers that provide a high-speed link at the
Ethernet aggregated data rate of 103.125 Gbps on up to 300m
multimode fiber. The SR4 and SWDM4 modules work on up to 100m
of OM4 (70m on OM3) fiber while SWDM4 extends that reach to 150m on
the new OM5 MMF type. The 100G QSFP28 SR4 is compliant with the
IEEE 100GBASE-SR4 standard while the 100G SWDM4 is compliant with
the new SWDM MSA specification. Both products utilize the common
four-lane CAUI-4 chip-to-module interface as per IEEE 802.3 2015
Annex 83E. Sample quantities of the QSFP28 SR4 and QSFP28 SWDM4 are
available today.
SWDM Multi-Source Agreement
Announced on March 16, 2017, Lumentum is a founding member of
this new MSA. It marks an essential next step in bringing SWDM
technology to the short wavelength (850nm) segment of the fiber
optic communications market. More details can be found on the SWDM
Alliance website (www.swdm.org).
