100G QSFP28 500m SMF transceiver

The HP S3N88A is a 100G QSFP28 transceiver designed for single-mode fibre links up to 500 metres. It operates at 100 Gbit/s using the 100GBase-DR standard with an LC duplex connector. This module suits data-centre and enterprise switches that require 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard single-mode infrastructure.

Suitable for 100GBase-DR links, not for SR or LR

Network engineers deploying 100GBase-DR connections between nearby racks or buildings will find this transceiver matches the reach and interface. It is not suited for multimode environments needing 100G SR4, nor for longer single-mode spans that require 100G LR4 or ER4 modules with kilometre-class reach.

0.50 km maximum distance on single-mode fibre

The 500-metre reach defines where this part fits in the link budget. Verify that the patch length and insertion loss stay within this limit before ordering. If the path exceeds 0.50 km, a longer-reach 100G module is required.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 100G QSFP28 DR version or another reach option?

Choose the DR version when you need 100 Gbit/s over single-mode fibre up to 500 m; other reach options target different distances.

What does the 100 Gbit/s rate deliver inside my switch?

It provides a full 100 Gigabit Ethernet lane through the QSFP28 port, using one LC single-mode pair at 500 m reach.

How does the QSFP28 LC 100GBase-DR interface limit my link?

The LC duplex single-mode interface caps the link at 100 Gbit/s and 500 m; longer spans need a different transceiver.
