Shenzhen, China, May 10, 2021 – 3c-link opto  achieved the mass production of its 100G QSFP28 ER4 optical transceiver, offering the customers with a cost-effective, small form-factor optical transceiver solution which can be applied to the long distance metro transport and datacom networks.

With the continuous development of big data, cloud computing, massive video and 5G applications, the global data traffic continues to increase, which requires network bandwidth upgrade. In order to meet the requirements of 100G optical transceivers from long distance metro transport and datacom networks, 3c-link has successively launched its 100G QSFP28 4WDM-40, ER4 lite, ER4 and ZR4 series optical transceivers, which comply with QSFP+ MSA specifications, and all have achieved mass production



3c-link 100G QSFP28 ER4 optical transceiver supports 100GE and OTU4 dual-rate applications, and its performance can meet the requirements of IEEE802.3ba and ITU-T G.959.1 standards with a 40km transmission distance. Since the host side does not need to enable the forward error correction (FEC) function, this solution can reduce network latency and overall power consumption of the network equipment. In addition, compared with the traditional CFP/CFP2 products, this product adopts the form-factor of QSFP28, which has the characteristics of smaller package size, lower power consumption and simple module production process.

With the mass production of its 100G QSFP28 ER4 optical transceivers, 3c-link has the ability to supply the full series of QSFP28 100G SR4/CWDM4/LR4/ER4 lite/ER4/ZR4 optical transceivers to its customers, helping the network operators to accelerate their network bandwidth upgrade.
