2. Wavelength:
   • Operates at 850nm, which is standard for multimode fiber applications.
3. Transmission Distance:
   • Supports distances of up to 30 meters (m) over OM3/OM4 multimode fiber (MMF).
4. Data Rate:
   • Supports 100 Gbps data rates, making it ideal for high-speed network applications.
   • Also supports 4 x 25Gbps breakout configurations (4 x 25GBASE-SR), enabling flexible deployment options.
5. DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring):
   • Provides real-time monitoring of key parameters such as temperature, voltage, TX/RX power, and more, enabling easier network management and troubleshooting.
6. Connector Type:
   • Uses an MPO-12/UPC connector, which is standard for 100G multimode fiber connections.
7. Compliance:
   • Compliant with 100GBASE-SL4 and 4 x 25GBASE-SR standards, and compatible with Cisco devices.
