Product overview
The Cisco® 100GBASE Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) Q100-ZR4-S-EA provides customers with a
100 Gigabit Ethernet ZR connectivity option for data centers, high-performance computing networks, enterprise
core and distribution layers, and service provider applications. This QSFP-100G module is our latest generation
of 100G transceiver module based on a QSFP form factor (See Figure 1).

Product Description Connector Type

Q100-ZR4-S-EA 100GBASE ZR4 QSFP Transceiver, LC, 80 km over SMF LC

Cisco Q100-ZR4-S-EA
The Cisco Q100-ZR4-S-EA supports link lengths of up to 80 km over a standard pair of G.652 single-mode
fiber with duplex LC connectors. The 100 Gigabit Ethernet signal is carried over four wavelengths. Multiplexing
and demultiplexing of the four wavelengths are managed within the device. The module requires the use of FEC
on the host platform.
