About This Part
The Plexxi PX-CBL-QSFP28 is a high-performance QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) optical transceiver module, engineered for demanding 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications within data center and enterprise environments. As part of Plexxi's robust line of networking components, this module adheres to the QSFP28 form factor, providing a compact and hot-pluggable solution for high-density network infrastructure. Its primary function is to enable ultra-fast optical data transmission over short distances. Key technical specifications include a 100 Gigabit Ethernet data rate, achieved by utilizing four independent 25 Gigabit per second (4x25G) channels. Operating at an 850nm wavelength, the PX-CBL-QSFP28 is designed for multimode fiber (MMF) connectivity, specifically supporting reaches up to 40 meters. The "SR4-NOFEC-40M" designation confirms its Short Reach 4-lane capability, optimized for links without the need for Forward Error Correction (FEC) over this specific distance, ensuring efficient and low-latency communication. This module typically interfaces via an MPO/MTP connector, simplifying cabling in high-density deployments. The Part Number PX-CBL-QSFP28 is critically deployed in scenarios requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects over short distances, primarily within modern data centers, large enterprise networks, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. It is installed in QSFP28 ports of network switches, routers, and server network interface cards (NICs) to facilitate 100GbE links between adjacent racks, within rows, or for connecting core switches to aggregation layers. Cloud service providers, financial institutions, and telecommunication carriers leverage these transceivers for their intra-data center fabric, ensuring rapid data transfer between servers, storage arrays, and network appliances. This module solves the challenge of escalating bandwidth demands by providing a cost-effective and energy-efficient upgrade path from 10GbE or 40GbE links, or as an alternative to longer copper Direct Attach Cables (DACs) where optical performance is preferred for reliability and reach. Its deployment streamlines network architecture, reduces cabling complexity, and enhances overall network throughput for critical applications.
