Usage Guidelines & Best Practices

  • Fiber Matching: This 2km CWDM4 module requires OS2 single-mode fiber. Multimode fiber leads to heavy attenuation and unreliable links.
  • Port Configuration: Enable RS-FEC on H3C switch ports. Forward error correction improves stability at the full 2km reach.
  • Installation Tips: Hot plug is supported. Avoid rough insertion to protect gold contacts. Maintain proper fiber bend radius to reduce loss.
  • Distance Limit: This model is designed for 2km links. For connections over 2km, select 100G LR4 transceivers.
  • Operating Environment: Stable operation is guaranteed at 0°C–70°C. Keep away from persistent humidity, dust or extreme heat to extend service life.

FAQ

Q1: When to choose 100G CWDM4 instead of standard LR4 for H3C deployments?
A1: Our H3C compatible CWDM4 module suits links up to 2km. It delivers sufficient margin for intra-data center and short campus routes without the extra cost of longer-reach LR4. For same-facility leaf-spine and server uplink layouts, it balances performance and budget well.

Q2: Why is RS-FEC recommended for 100G CWDM4 links?
A2: CWDM4 runs on a tight optical budget. RS-FEC compensates for connector loss, splice variation and minor fiber aging. Enabling FEC helps maintain error-free transmission close to the 2km limit and reduces random packet loss in production.

Q3: Can this 100G QSFP28 CWDM4 module operate in 4×25G breakout mode?
A3: This standard CWDM4 transceiver works in native 100G mode only. It cannot break out into four independent 25G channels. If your design requires 4×25G breakout, pick dedicated breakout QSFP28 models.

Q4: How to handle module alarms across H3C, Cisco or Huawei switches?
A4: Most alarms come from mismatched EEPROM identification. Our modules ship with H3C-specific firmware and support free re-programming for other platforms. We perform real-switch validation to achieve clean plug-and-play deployment.

Q5: Why do DDM wavelength readings deviate slightly from nominal 1300nm CWDM grid?
A5: Minor wavelength offset falls within MSA standard tolerance. All our modules are calibrated and screened before
shipment. Small DDM drift will not affect throughput or link stability under normal H3C operating conditions.

Q6: Do I need an optical attenuator for very short patch cord runs?
A6: Attenuators are usually unnecessary for short patch connections. Our transmit power is tuned for typical data center patch panels. Only extreme over-power scenarios causing repeated errors require an attenuator after checking module specs.

Q7: Rx power remains low after fiber cleaning. What should I check next?
A7: Inspect ferrules for scratches and cables for tight bends or crushed ducts. Swap patch cords and test alternative ports to isolate the fault. If low power follows the module, our engineering team can conduct optical testing and support bulk customers.

Q8: What does DOM Rx power close to -40dBm mean?
A8: Near -40dBm generally indicates no optical signal reaches the receiver. Common causes include disconnected fiber, damaged jumpers or inactive remote transmitter. We provide structured fault isolation steps to restore data center traffic quickly.

Q9: Is there a reliability gap between third-party compatible modules and original H3C OEM transceivers?
A9: Qualified compatible modules can match OEM performance. Our H3C CWDM4 modules use industrial chips and complete optical plus compatibility testing. The real difference lies in vendor lock-in and support contracts, not basic transmission stability.

Q10: What compliance documents should purchasers request from optical module suppliers?
A10: As a professional manufacturer, we provide RoHS certificates, MSA compliance statements, temperature cycle test records and real-switch compatibility reports. All products support traceability to meet enterprise and data center project compliance requirements.
