Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The MTP/MPO-12/UPC interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 100G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP28 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

The multimode channel should use the fiber grade associated with the stated 70m on OM3 / 100m on OM4 reach. Keep the MTP/MPO-12/UPC end faces clean and avoid tight bends. Different multimode standards are not interchangeable merely because they share a connector.

Intel Compatibility and Factory Testing

Factory verification starts with the expected SPTMBP1PMCDF identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -8.4~2.4dBm; the stated optical power budget is 1.9dB. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Interoperability and Host Configuration

Check three layers before deployment: host acceptance of the module identity, port support for the stated rate, and a matching optical standard at the remote interface. For breakout operation, confirm lane configuration too. Similar-looking cages can behave differently across speeds and firmware settings. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 103.125Gbps (4x 25.78Gbps), wavelength 850nm, rated reach 70m on OM3 / 100m on OM4.

Ordering Information

Use SPTMBP1PMCDF as the compatibility cross-reference and QSFP-SR4-100G as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Each SPTMBP1PMCDF compatible module is inspected, powered up and functionally checked before protective packing. Dust caps and individual trays shield the interface during transport. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
