100GBASE-ZR4 QSFP28 transceiver

The Axiom AXG101162 is a 100 Gb QSFP28 transceiver built for long-reach single-mode fibre links. It targets network engineers who need drop-in compatibility with Cisco QSFP-100G-ZR4-S equipment in enterprise or service-provider environments.

Replaces Cisco QSFP-100G-ZR4-S

This module replaces the Cisco-branded ZR4 optic when a TAA-compliant alternative is required for government or regulated contracts. The upgrade is worth it when procurement rules mandate Trade Agreements Act compliance without sacrificing OEM-level interoperability.

MSA-compliant hot-plug install

Installation follows the multi-sourcing agreement form factor, so the transceiver hot-plugs into any MSA-compliant QSFP28 cage without tools. Issues usually arise only if the host port firmware blocks third-party modules or if single-mode patch cords are dirty or mismatched.
