100G ZR QSFP28 Digital Coherent Optics (DCO) Transceiver

Standard Tx output power (-8dBm), 100GE, C-temp, 0°C to 70°C, SFF-8636

Built around the Coherent Steelerton™ digital signal processor (DSP), the 100G ZR QSFP28-DCO transceiver is fully compliant to the IEEE 802.3™-2022 100GBASE-ZR standard, ensuring interoperability with other solutions. The Steelerton™ DSP is the first purpose-built DSP for 100G ZR applications, optimized for the lowest power dissipation and smallest size.

In the QSFP28 module, the DSP is paired with a highly efficient silicon photonics optical front-end and a power-optimized tunable laser, resulting in a typical module power dissipation of less than 5W. To facilitate deployment in a wide variety of edge network locations, including street cabinets or pole mount enclosures, the 100G ZR QSFP28-DCO module is also offered in a version that supports industrial temperature ranges.
