Frequently Asked Questions - N286-100G-SR4SC Tripp Lite
Which switches are compatible with the N286-100G-SR4SC?
This transceiver is compatible with any equipment that has a standard QSFP28 port, compliant with the MSA agreement. It works with switches, routers, and network interface cards supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber.
What distance can I achieve with this module?
The maximum distance is 100 meters on OM3 fiber and 150 meters on OM4 fiber, using a wavelength of 850 nm.
Can I use this module with single-mode cable?
No, this module is designed for multimode fiber only (50/125 µm OM3 or OM4). It will not work properly with single-mode fiber.
How to clean the optical connectors?
Use a specific cleaning kit for fiber optic connectors (e.g., lint-free wipes and isopropyl alcohol solvent). Gently clean the connector end-face before each insertion.
Is the module hot to the touch?
Moderate heat is normal given the power consumption of 3.5 W. Ensure adequate ventilation in the switch chassis. If the temperature exceeds 70 °C, check the airflow.
Can I use an LC patch cable instead of SC?
This module is equipped with SC connectors. There are adapters or hybrid LC-SC patch cords, but connection loss may increase. Preferably use SC-SC patch cords.
What is SR4 technology?
SR4 stands for Short Reach 4 channels. The 100 Gb/s data is split across 4 lanes of 25 Gb/s each, transmitted over 4 separate fiber pairs (8 fibers total used).
Is the module hot-pluggable?
Yes, the QSFP28 form factor allows hot insertion and removal without powering off the equipment. However, observe ESD precautions.
What to do if the link does not establish?
Verify that the module is properly inserted, the fiber is correctly connected, and the host equipment is compatible. Clean the connectors and test with another cable.
Are there activity LEDs on the module?
No, this module does not have an integrated LED. The link status is usually indicated by the switch or router port.
