100G QSFP connection of Cisco equipment to CheckPoint

[macardonab]

Hi,

We need your help to validate if it is possible the 100G connection of a Cisco equipment that has a Transceiver Model: QSFP-100G-SL4 against a CheckPoint equipment that has a transceiver: CPAC-TR-100SR-D. This connection will be made with a 1m MMF fiber patch cord, since both devices are in the same rack.

The doubt arises because when checking the datasheet of both QSFPs, although they are MMF, we observe some discrepancies, for example the Checkpoint QSFP has a range of 70m with OM3 fibers, or 100m with OM4, while the QSFP of the Cisco equipment reaches 20m in OM3 and 30m OM4. It is also noted that the CheckPoint transnceiver has a Wavelength (nm) 840 to 860 and the Cisco model has a Wavelength (nm) 850.

  - Note that for Cisco equipment the chosen SFP must always be compatible with the Cisco device according to
     Cisco Optics-to-Device Compatibility Matrix

    For the rest , in these situations it's impossible with pre-judgement to offer an exclusive yes or no.
    You should be able to test this first with the hardware involved before going to production with any
    intended connection(s)
