As high-speed data center networks continue to expand, the demand for flexible, scalable, and cost-effective optical connectivity is reaching new heights. One common challenge is connecting devices with mismatched form factors and data rates—for example, linking a 100G QSFP28 port to a 25G SFP28 interface. In these cases, a QSFP28 to SFP28 adapter (also known as a converter or CVR) offers a simple and efficient solution without requiring a complete infrastructure overhaul.
This article explores the key principles, features, use cases, and FS’s product offerings related to the QSFP28-SFP28 CVR adapter, providing a comprehensive technical overview for network professionals.
