Cisco QSFP-100G-SR1.2=

Overview

The Cisco QSFP-100G-SR1.2= is a QSFP28 optical transceiver module designed to deliver 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber. It supports data rates up to 100 Gbps and operates with LC/UPC connectors compatible with OM4 and OM5 fiber types. This transceiver is ideal for data centers, campus backbones, and high-performance computing environments that require scalable bandwidth solutions without major network redesigns.

With dual wavelengths of 855 nm and 908 nm, it enables bidirectional transmission over distances up to 328 feet, making it suitable for rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections. Its hot-swappable design allows for easy installation or replacement without interrupting network operations, ensuring continuous uptime for critical applications.

Key features

• Supports 100 Gbps data rate based on the Ethernet 100GBase-SR1.2 standard for high-speed network performance
• LC/UPC multimode interface compatible with OM4 and OM5 fiber, providing flexibility in cabling infrastructure
• Operates at two wavelengths (855 nm and 908 nm) to enable bidirectional communication, reducing fiber count on short-reach links
• Hot-swappable design minimizes downtime during maintenance or upgrades, keeping networks operational
• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) offers real-time insight into temperature, optical power, and signal quality for proactive management
• Reliable operation within a temperature range of 10 °C to 60 °C, suitable for most controlled data center environments
• Durable construction from Cisco ensures long service life and consistent performance in demanding network setups

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
