Axiom R0Z30A-AX Aruba Compatible 100GBASE-CWDM4 QSFP28 LC 2km Transceiver

Axiom R0Z30A-AX

Aruba Compatible 100GBASE-CWDM4QSFP28 LC 2km Transceiver

A high-performance transceiver for 100G Ethernet over 2km of single-mode fiber.

Overview :

The Axiom R0Z30A-AX is a 100GBASE-CWDM4QSFP28transceiver designed for Aruba-compatible networking equipment. Engineered to transmit 100 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber up to 2 kilometers, this transceiver provides a cost-effective solution for data center interconnects and enterprise networking requiring long-reach fiber connectivity. It is a reliable and high-performance module for building robust and scalable network infrastructures.

Features :

This optical transceiver supports four independent multiplexed CWDM channels, each carrying 25Gbps data streams, enabling a total aggregate bandwidth of 100G. The uncooled distributed feedback (DFB) laser operates at a nominal wavelength around 1310nm, maintaining high signal quality across long distances on G.652 compliant single-mode fiber. Designed to fit into QSFP28 ports, the transceiver offers hot-pluggable convenience, allowing easy upgrades or replacements without network disruption. Its LC duplex connector allows simple fiber patch connections, making it an excellent choice for backbone links, metro, and data center environments. The module includes built-in digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) functionality, providing detailed real-time data on parameters such as temperature, voltage, laser bias current, and optical power levels to support network management and troubleshooting.

Product Key Features

• Compliant with 100GBASE-CWDM4 MSA and IEEE 802.3ba standards.
