The 100G-SWDM4-QSFP100M transceiver from Extreme Networks leverages Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM4) technology to deliver 100GbE over standard multimode fiber cables with a reach of up to 100 meters. This innovative technology allows four different wavelengths to transmit data simultaneously over a single multimode fiber pair, enhancing fiber utilization and reducing cabling complexity.
Supporting four lanes of 25 Gbps in the QSFP form factor, the module complies with IEEE 802.3bm standards, making it ideal for data center applications where bandwidth and space are critical. SWDM4 technology reduces the need for costly single-mode fiber while maintaining low latency and high signal integrity.
The transceiver features hot-swappable capabilities and digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) for real-time link status and health monitoring. Its low power consumption and compact design make it perfect for hyperscale cloud environments, enterprise backbones, and high-density network topologies.
