The QSFP28 100G-CWDM4-2km module is a highly integrated 4x25G transceiver focused on reach, bandwidth, density and cost for high port-count 100G systems, and client-side 100G interfaces. It is compliant with the 100G 4WDM-10 MSA, which is based on the CWDM4 MSA version 1.1. It is interoperable with CWDM4 transceivers over a 2 km reach.

Notes:
The receiver shall be able to tolerate, without damage, continuous exposure to an optical input signal having this average power level on one lane. The receiver does not have to operate correctly at this input power.
Average receive power, each lane (min) is informative and not the principal indicator of signal strength. A received power below this value cannot be compliant; however, a value above this does not ensure compliance.
Measured with conformance test signal at TP3 (see IEEE 802.3cd 138.8.10) for the BER specified in 138.1.1.
