When a data center needs to move 100 Gbps traffic over long distances, the link often fails because ordinary transceivers cannot reach the required 40 km range. This loss of connection slows applications, hurts user experience, and can cost money in downtime. The Edge Optical 100G CFP2 40km ER4 Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) Transceiver solves that problem by delivering reliable 100 Gbps Ethernet over up to 40 km of single-mode fiber, keeping your network fast and stable.
Edge Optical 100G CFP2 40km ER4 Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) Transceiver with Edge
You need a transceiver that can handle high-speed traffic without losing signal over long runs. This Edge product is a CFP2 module that supports 100 G Ethernet and OTU4, using four LAN-WDM channels to reach 40 km on SMF. If you are struggling with frequent link drops or limited reach, this transceiver gives you the distance and performance you need, letting you expand your network without adding repeaters.
Usages
The transceiver fits into any CFP2 slot in routers, switches, or optical transport equipment. It is ideal for inter-data-center links, campus backbone connections, and long-haul metro networks. Use it to connect two sites that are up to 40 km apart, to extend a 100 G Ethernet fabric, or to build OTN links for carrier-grade services.
