The Hermesys HydraX™ 100G QSFP28 CWDM4 optical transceiver provides 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard G.652 single-mode fiber. With a reach of up to 2km, it is designed for data centre campus networks and building-to-building interconnections. The module combines four optical channels using CWDM technology, allowing full-duplex transmission through a conventional duplex LC fiber connection while maintaining a compact QSFP28 footprint.
