What type of interface does the HPE S3N88-61001 transceiver use?

The HPE S3N88-61001 is described as an Aruba Networking 100G DR QSFP28 LC 500m SMF Transceiver. This means it provides a 100G DR optical interface in a QSFP28 form factor with an LC connector for single mode fiber. It is intended for use in ports that accept QSFP28 100G optical modules.

What fiber and connector does this 100G DR QSFP28 module require?

This transceiver is specified as a 100G DR QSFP28 LC 500m SMF unit, indicating it is designed for single mode fiber and uses an LC connector interface. When planning deployments, network teams should ensure LC-terminated single mode fiber is available between endpoints to use this module effectively.

What is the maximum supported distance for the S3N88-61001 transceiver?

The model name identifies this unit as a 100G DR QSFP28 LC 500m SMF Transceiver, indicating a specified reach of up to 500 meters over single mode fiber. This makes it suitable for short to medium-distance 100G links within or between facilities that fall within this 500 meter range.

Which applications are suitable for this 100G DR QSFP28 SMF module?

Given its designation as a 100G DR QSFP28 LC 500m SMF Transceiver, the module is suited to 100G links that require QSFP28 optics, LC connectors, and single mode fiber up to 500 meters. Typical uses include data center aggregation, campus core interconnects, and short backbone runs on single mode fiber.

Is the S3N88-61001 compatible with QSFP28 100G ports on switches and routers?

The product is described as a 100G DR QSFP28 LC 500m SMF Transceiver, which indicates it is intended for QSFP28-based 100G interfaces. As long as the network device supports 100G QSFP28 optical modules and LC single mode connectivity, it can be considered for integration in those ports.

Product overview

The HPE Aruba Networking 100G DR QSFP28 LC 500m SMF Transceiver S3N88-61001 is designed as a 100G DR optical module in a QSFP28 form factor. It uses an LC interface and is specified for single mode fiber links up to 500 meters, supporting 100 Gigabit connectivity requirements where short single mode reach is needed. As part of the Aruba Networking portfolio, this transceiver aligns with environments that standardize on QSFP28 100G DR optics for backbone or aggregation layers. The LC connector interface simplifies integration into existing LC single mode cabling systems. With its defined reach over SMF, it helps network designers plan predictable 100G link distances inside and between data center or campus locations. This module offers a focused feature set around its DR reach, QSFP28 mechanical format, and LC single mode connectivity for organizations standardizing on 100G optical infrastructure.
