Why QSFP28 ZR4 is The Best Choice for 100G long-haul Data Center Interconnect (DCI) transmission?
In a fast-paced world of data centers and networking, the demand for high-speed, long-distance data transmission has never been greater. As organizations increasingly rely on 100Gbps networking equipment to support their data-intensive operations, the need for optical solutions capable of conquering high fiber losses and extended transmission distances has become paramount. The QSFP28 ZR4 module is poised to revolutionize long-haul data transmission. Let us discuss why QSFP28 ZR4 is the ultimate choice for 100G long-haul transmission DCI (Data Center Interconnect).
Meeting the Need for Speed and Distance
Speed and reach are of the essence in data transmission. As data centers and network infrastructures expand, the challenge lies in ensuring data can travel seamlessly over long distances while maintaining its integrity. Starview’s 100Gbps QSFP28 ZR4 （SV-QSFP-100G-ZR4）optic is capable to address this challenge.

The Power of Four
The QSFP28 ZR4 utilizes four 25Gbps duplex LWDM wavelengths (1295.6 nm, 1300.1 nm, 1304.6 nm, and 1309.1 nm) to transmit data across single-mode fiber optic cables. This quad-stream approach allows efficient utilization of bandwidth, making it possible to achieve the 100Gbps data rate and distance
-
Efficiency Meets Performance
While delivering exceptional performance, the QSFP28 ZR4 remains impressively energy-efficient. Each module consumes a maximum of 5.5W, making it an eco-friendly choice for businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint. Additionally, the module is designed to seamlessly fit into a typical QSFP28 cage in networking equipment, ensuring a hassle-free integration process.
-
Unrivalled Reach
When it comes to long-haul data transmission, the QSFP28 ZR4 boasts an impressive capability, offering up to 34dB of fiber budget or, an astounding transmission distance of up to 80 kilometres (approximately 50 miles). This remarkable reach makes it an ideal choice for connecting data centres and network locations that are geographically distant, or fiber networks with high losses.

Technical Excellence
Operating principle of QSFP28 ZR4: At the transmitting end, the four channels of serial data (NRZ, Not Return to Zero) are recovered by the CDR and passed to four laser drivers with centre wavelengths of 1295nm, 1300nm, 1305nm, and 1310nm, respectively. The optical signal is multiplexed to a single-mode fiber (SMF) via a standard LC connector. At the receiving end, the optical signals of the four channels are amplified by SOA and then demultiplexed by an integrated optical demultiplexer. Each optical signal is recovered by a PIN detector and then passed through a trans-impedance amplifier and CDR to a CAUI-4 compliant output driver, as shown in the figure.
