QSFP-100G-SM-SR Description
QSFP-100G-SM-SR is the Cisco 100G CWDM4 Lite QSFP transceiver for duplex LC single-mode links up to 2 km.
This optic is for 100G designs that need single-mode LC cabling and a shorter CWDM4 Lite reach profile. It should be checked separately from FR, LR, CWDM4, and MPO-based 100G optics because connector, reach, wavelength plan, and link budget are not the same.
For ordering, confirm the host platform, G.652 fiber path, patch-panel loss, remote optic, and documented operating range. Layer23-Switch can help check price, stock, warranty support, shipping timing, and compatibility before the transceiver is quoted.

Application Scenarios
Use QSFP-100G-SM-SR for 100G links where the fiber run is single-mode G.652, the patching plan uses duplex LC connectors, and the expected distance stays within Cisco’s documented 2 km reach.
Keep this SKU separate from QSFP-100G-CWDM4-S and QSFP-100G-FR-S in spare stock. The names are close, but Cisco documents a specific CWDM4 Lite description, +10 to +60 degrees C temperature range, and 4.2 dB link budget for QSFP-100G-SM-SR.
Use Cisco compatibility documentation to verify the exact switch, router, line card, port type, and software release before ordering. This avoids quoting a valid optic that is not supported in the planned host device.

- QSFP-100G-SM-SR is the Cisco CWDM4 Lite choice for 2 km duplex LC single-mode links when the 4.2 dB link budget and +10 to +60 degrees C temperature range fit the site design.
- QSFP-100G-CWDM4-S shares the same 2 km distance and CWDM wavelengths, so the exact product ID should be checked carefully during quote and receiving.
- QSFP-100G-FR-S is also a 2 km LC single-mode optic, but Cisco documents a different FR1 optical profile and higher power consumption.
- QSFP-100G-LR-S belongs in 10 km single-mode planning, not routine 2 km CWDM4 Lite substitution.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 2 km LC single-mode links
Select QSFP-100G-SM-SR when the project needs a Cisco 100G QSFP transceiver for duplex LC G.652 single-mode fiber and the optical path is within 2 km.
2. Check the link budget, not only the distance
The documented 4.2 dB optical link budget matters when the path includes patch panels and multiple connector points. Confirm the measured or planned insertion loss before approving the bill of materials.
3. Do not mix CWDM4 Lite with unrelated 100G optics
Other Cisco 100G QSFP modules may use a different optical specification even when they share the same speed and connector style. Match both ends of the link and confirm module-to-module interoperability before purchase.
4. Validate host support in Cisco documentation
Confirm the Cisco platform, line card, QSFP port, and minimum software support in Cisco compatibility documentation before requesting final price, stock, warranty, and shipping confirmation.
