Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DEM-Q2801Q-SR4 used for?
It is a 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 optical transceiver for short-reach 100GbE links, such as rack-to-rack connections and fiber uplinks in data centers and enterprise server rooms.
What fiber and connector does it use?
It uses an MPO connector with 50/125 µm OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber.
How far can the link reach?
Rated reach is up to 70 m on OM3 or up to 100 m on OM4. Actual reach depends on the fiber path and its connections.
Which switches can I use it with?
Use a 100GbE QSFP28 uplink on the DTS-5000-56S, DXS-3610-54S, or DXS-3610-54T. For other switch models, contact D-Link to confirm support.
What should I confirm before deploying the link?
Contact D-Link to confirm your switch port and MPO cabling.
Can I replace the transceiver while the switch is powered on?
Yes. The module is hot-pluggable, so the switch can stay powered on during replacement. Removing the module interrupts the link it serves.
What’s included with the transceiver?
The DEM-Q2801Q-SR4 transceiver is sold individually. Switches and fiber cabling are sold separately.
