  1. Confirm the basic link conditions first.

It avoids the most common wrong-order situations.

100G QSFP28 port
Duplex LC single-mode fiber
Reach up to 10km
Confirm the host has a 100GbE QSFP28 interface before selecting LR4.
LR4 is intended for OS2 single-mode fiber with an LC duplex connection.
Check actual fiber route, patching, and optical loss against the project path.

  1. Typical 100G LR4 deployment scenarios

Use these as starting points, then send your actual equipment model or BOM for review.

  • 100G switch to 100G switch
Simple duplex OS2 fiber link between two 100G QSFP28 ports.
Check before order: host model, OEM coding, port configuration, and actual fiber path.

  • 100G switch to router / NIC/uplink
100G LR4 link from an aggregation switch to a router, NIC, server uplink, or transport-facing interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

i. What fiber is required for 100G LR4?

100G LR4 uses OS2 single-mode fiber with duplex LC connectors and supports links up to 10km.



ii. What is the difference between 100G LR4 and 100G CWDM4?

100G LR4 supports up to 10km over duplex SMF, while 100G CWDM4 is typically used for links up to 2km.



iii. Can 100G LR4 work with Cisco switches?

Yes. Compatibility depends on the platform, software version, and coding requirements.



iv. Does 100G LR4 support DDM/DOM?

Yes. Most QSFP28 LR4 modules support digital diagnostics monitoring.



v. When should I choose 100G ER4 instead of LR4?

If the link distance exceeds 10km, 100G ER4 may be a more suitable option.
