Stormshield NA-TRANS-QSFP28-LR4 100Gigabit-LR4 QSFP28 Fiber Transceiver

The Stormshield NA-TRANS-QSFP28-LR4 is a high-performance 100Gbps QSFP28 optical transceiver engineered for demanding long-distance fiber optic networking environments. This module adheres to the 100GBASE-LR4 standard, facilitating robust and high-speed data transmission over single-mode fiber infrastructure. Designed for enterprise-grade network deployments, it serves as a critical component for maintaining scalable and reliable connectivity in data centers and high-bandwidth communication backbones.

Advantages

This transceiver offers exceptional signal integrity and performance consistency over extended distances, making it an ideal choice for interconnecting network equipment across large facilities or campus environments. Its compact QSFP28 form factor ensures high port density, allowing network administrators to maximize hardware utilization without compromising on throughput. By utilizing advanced optical technology, the module minimizes latency and ensures stable data flow, which is essential for modern high-traffic network architectures.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnections
• Enterprise campus backbone networks
• High-bandwidth communication links
• Long-distance fiber optic signal transmission

This module may not be suitable for short-range connections within a single rack where lower-cost direct attach copper cables or multimode transceivers would be more economical. Additionally, it is not compatible with hardware interfaces that do not support the QSFP28 standard or single-mode fiber cabling.

Key specifications

• Data rate: 100Gbps
• Standard: 100GBASE-LR4
• Form factor: QSFP28
• Media type: Single-mode fiber
• Application: Long-distance networking

To install the transceiver, ensure that the network device is powered on and that the fiber optic port is clean and free of debris. Carefully insert the module into the designated QSFP28 slot until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate single-mode fiber optic cable to the transceiver interface. The device should be automatically recognized by the host system, though some network equipment may require a manual configuration or port activation through the management interface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your existing switch or router hardware
• Ensure your infrastructure utilizes single-mode fiber cabling
• Confirm the required transmission distance matches the LR4 standard capabilities
• Check for available QSFP28 ports on your networking equipment

For optimal performance and longevity, always handle the optical connectors with care and use protective dust caps when the module is not in use. Ensure that the fiber optic cables are clean before connection to prevent signal degradation.
