Custom 100G QSFP28 PSM4 Module (Parallel Single-Mode)

  • Physical Layer Isolation: Bypasses internal wavelength division multiplexing (MUX), relying on four independent 1310nm DFB single-mode lasers for parallel optical transmission.

  • High-Density Breakout Capability: Natively engineered to divide a single 100G port into four discrete 25GBASE-LR connections, drastically increasing single-mode downlink density.

  • APC Interface Control: Mandates the use of an MTP/MPO-12 APC (8-degree angled physical contact) receptacle to strictly suppress optical return loss below -60dB.

  • Flexible Span Configuration: Factory-calibrated optical power budgets are available to support standard 500-meter limits or customized 2-kilometer extended reaches.

Product Description

The 100G QSFP28 PSM4 transceiver is specifically architected for high-density single-mode breakout topologies. Unlike CWDM4 modules that multiplex signals over a duplex LC interface, the PSM4 injects four discrete 25Gbps 1310nm beams directly into four separate fiber pairs within an MPO trunk. Stripping away passive multiplexing components reduces internal electro-optical conversion latency. WolonFiber provides customized EEPROM firmware programming, ensuring seamless hardware handshakes with mainstream 100G Spine switch architecture.

Key Features

  • Minimized Insertion Loss: Removing passive MUX/DEMUX components ensures transmit power is delivered directly to the fiber core, maximizing per-watt efficiency.

  • Thermal Efficiency: The standard 500m specification restricts maximum power dissipation to under 3.5W, mitigating cooling loads in hyper-scale spine-leaf deployments.

  • Comprehensive Diagnostics: Supports full DDM/DOM via the I2C interface, allowing administrators to monitor the bias current of all four parallel lasers simultaneously.

Application Scenarios

  • One-to-four direct single-mode connections from core 100G routers to 25G edge access switches.

  • Dense parallel single-mode aggregation networks spanning massive manufacturing or campus environments.

Engineering FAQs

  • Q: Why does the PSM4 module require an APC-polished MPO cable?

    A: 1310nm single-mode lasers are highly susceptible to back-reflection. Standard PC/UPC flat polishes generate back-reflection that can physically damage the transmitter. The APC 8-degree angle deflects returning light into the cladding, ensuring Return Loss (RL) remains optimal.

  • Q: Can a PSM4 module optical link with a 100G CWDM4 transceiver?

    A: Absolutely not. CWDM4 transmits four different wavelengths over a single duplex fiber. PSM4 transmits a single 1310nm wavelength over eight parallel fiber cores. They are physically and optically incompatible.

  • Q: What cabling is required to execute a breakout?

    A: You must deploy an MPO-12 APC to 4x Duplex LC APC/UPC single-mode breakout cable to properly split the 100Gbps signal into four distinct 25GBASE-LR endpoints.

  • Q: Does this transceiver support 112G OTU4 rates?

    A: No. Standard PSM4 modules are designed strictly for 103.1Gbps Ethernet framing protocols.
