100G QSFP28 port
MPO parallel multimode fiber
Reach up to 100m
Confirm that the host device supports a standard 100G QSFP28 port, host FEC and the required compatibility coding.
Use OM3 or OM4 parallel multimode fiber with the correct MPO connector and polarity.
Check fiber grade, MPO polarity, insertion loss and total route length before deployment.
- Match the SR4 module to the fiber plant.
Confirm the host port, FEC setting, MPO polarity and multimode fiber grade before ordering.

Nearby 100G options to compare before ordering
The speed may be the same, but the fiber design, reach, and deployment trade-offs are not.
100G option | Typical Reach | Fiber/connector | Best Fit | Checking before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|---|
100GBASE-SR4 | 100 m | OM4 MMF/MPO-12(OM3 70M) | Short-reach data center links | Fiber type, MPO polarity and switch compatibility |
100GBASE-LR4 | | OS2 SMF / duplex LC | Standard duplex single-mode links | Host coding, link budget, and fiber route |
100G CWDM4 | 2 km | SMF / duplex LC | Shorter-reach data center or campus links | Reach limit and interoperability expectation |
100G PSM4 | 500 m | Parallel SMF / MPO | Parallel-fiber links with existing MPO plant | Fiber plant and connector availability |
100G ER4 | | OS2 SMF / duplex LC | Longer metro or remote links | Optical budget, dispersion, and cost |
100G ZR4 | 80 km | OS2 SMF/duplex LC | Long-distance transport networks | Optical budget, dispersion and amplification requirements |
Frequently Asked Questions
What fiber is required for 100GBASE-SR4?
Use parallel OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber with the correct MPO connector and polarity.
Can the 100G SR4 module be coded for Cisco or other platforms?
Coding can be prepared after the exact host platform and software version are reviewed.
Compatibility is not inferred from the QSFP28 form factor alone.
Does a 100m SR4 link require FEC?
Host FEC is required for the verified maximum-distance application.
Can 100GBASE-SR4 use a duplex LC patch cord?
No. 100GBASE-SR4 uses a parallel MPO multimode interface; a duplex LC patch cord is not the correct fiber connection for this module.
What should I check if the SR4 link does not come up?
Check the host configuration and FEC setting, verify MPO polarity, inspect and clean all connectors, and confirm that the OM3 or OM4 route is within the supported reach.
