100G QSFP28: Universally compatible with existing switches, routers, and NICs, supporting 40G/100G Ethernet, InfiniBand, and cloud infrastructure. 100G QSFP28 is a hot-pluggable optical transceiver form factor designed to deliver 100-gigabit Ethernet connectivity using four parallel 25-gigabit lanes. It is widely used in data centers, enterprise core networks, and telecom infrastructure due to its high port density, standardized interface. When 100G SerDes (serializer – deserializer) is available on switch and router ports, the ASIC behind the ports can take over the FEC and PAM4 functionality, leaving the pluggable module to perform only the optical-to-electrical and electrical-to-optical conversion. Arista's 100G connectivity solutions include copper cables and Active Optical Cables (AOCs) to enable cost effective short reach options, as well as a wide range of optical. These modules convert electric signals into optical signals, enabling efficient data transmission over optical fibers.
