Optimized, Certified Optical Transceivers for Extending
Service Provider and Data Center Networks
Today’s service provider networking environments and
enterprise data centers are undergoing an infrastructure
transformation, requiring higher speeds, greater scalability,
and higher levels of performance and reliability to better
meet the demands of business. As speed and performance
needs increase, optical transceivers have become an integral
part of overall system design. However, optical transceiver
design margins and parameters vary widely, and can be the
difference between an optimized, highly reliable fabric, and
incompatibility issues that drive up support costs.
The Extreme 100 Gbps LR4-LITE (2 km) QSFP28, part of
the Extreme Networks family of optical transceivers, is
optimized to fully leverage the Extreme Networks VDX, SLX
and MLXe switches and routers with 100 Gbps capabilities.
Together, these optical transceivers provide state-of-the-art
performance and help IT organizations achieve new levels of
infrastructure consolidation while expanding the capabilities
of their applications and services.
