100G Pluggable Optical Module from the Netherlands

Fiber and communications infrastructure knowledge brief Published 25 Apr 2025

Prepared for preliminary research by the ROGER FIBRE knowledge desk. Confirm optical interfaces, port or core capacity, electrical input and output, enclosure protection, thermal design and installation limits against current standards and product documentation.

Opticonnect Systems B. V. in the Netherlands supplies a range of 100G QSFP28 and QSFP-DD pluggable optical modules suitable for metro, data center, and access networks. Overview of 100G Pluggable Modules100G pluggable optical modules are designed to provide high-speed data transmission over fiber networks.

Common form factors include QSFP28, QSFP-DD, and SFP-DD, supporting 100G Ethernet. These modules can be either coherent or single-lambda, depending on the application: Coherent 100G modules (e.g., Nokia QDCO1, NEC QSFP28 ZR DCO) enable long-distance transmission with digital signal processing, suitable for metro and data center interconnects, reaching up to 600–1000 km with amplifiers. Single-lambda 100G modules (e.g., Cisco 100G DR, FR, LR, ER-Lite, GIGALIGHT portfolio) provide varying reach from 500 m to 40 km, ideal for data centers, aggregation, and core networks.
