40G QSFP+ Module is a Great Progress for Telecom Industry

 are you still worrying about your slow network speed? No, there is a high speed transceiver. 40G QSFP+ transceivers make you enjoy the better transmission communications. As an essential component to support 40G network, QSFP+ modules which allow data rates of 4×10 Gbit/s to be emerged. This article is to introduce the 40G QSFP+ modules, include 40G QSFP+ cables and 40G QSFP+ transceivers. fiber-mart.com supplies high quality QSFP+ transceivers which are used primarily for short reach applications in switches, routers, and data center equipment.

 

What’s 40G QSFP+ Module?

The 40G QSFP+ module is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for data communications applications. It supports Serial Attached SCSI, 40G Ethernet, QDR (40G) and FDR (56G) Infiniband and other communications standards. Compared with SFP+ modules, QSFP+ transceiver increases the port-density of 3-4 times.

 

The 40GBASE-SR4 is based on MMF (Multi-Mode Fiber) optic cable which is cheaper than SMF (Single-Mode Fiber) optic cable. It is able to transmit light in a relatively short distance. 40G QSFP+ SR4 transmission distance is between 100m and 150m.

 

The 40GBASE-LR4 with a pair of SMF optic cable provides two SC fiber optic connectors for connection. 40G QSFP+LR4 transmission distance is over 10km.

 

What are features of 40G QSFP+ Modules?

1). Hot-pluggable input/output device that plugs into a 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP port

2). High-speed electrical interface compliant to the IEEE 802.3ba standard

3). Certified and tested on QSFP 40G ports for superior performance, quality, and reliability

4). Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface

 

Besides its high-density applications, QSFP+ modules provide 40Gb/s Ethernet data rates over MMF (Multi-Mode Fiber) optic cable and SMF (Single-Mode Fiber) optic cable. QSFP+modules take up very little space on a switch or server interface, allowing vendors to provide multiple QSFP+ ports in the same space.

 

How about the 40G QSFP+ modules’ Market?

 

With the increasing demands of global Internet traffic, higher requirements are concentrated on the network communications transmission capacity. The market research shows that the whole communication network is in urgent need of the optical transmission bandwidth upgrade from the original 10G to 40G and 100G. Data Center Construction requires the higher bandwidth and port-density for modules. Therefore, 40G QSFP+ modules have a huge overseas sales market, such as Facebook, Google, Cisco and so on. It means that QSFP+ transceiver modules have a good future.

Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

  Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the cable and found in indoor and indoor/outdoor cables. It offers ruggedness and superior crush resistance. Corrugated armor is a coated steel tape folded around the cable longitudinally. It is found in outdoor cables and offers extra mechanical and rodent protection.   The Structure of an Armored Fiber Optic Cable In basic armored fiber cable designs, the outer sleeve provides protection against wind, solvents, and abrasion. This outer sleeve is usually made of plastic such as polyethylene. The next layer between the sleeve and the inner jacket is an armoring layer of materials that are difficult to cut, chew, or bu

what the Differences Between FBT Splitter and PLC Splitter

  In FTTx and PON architectures, optical splitter plays an increasingly significant role to create a variety of point-to-multipoint fiber optic networks. But do you know what is a fiber optic splitter? In fact, a fiber optic splitter is a passive optical device that can split or separate an incident light beam into two or more light beams. Basically, there are two types of fiber splitter classified by their working principle: fused biconical taper splitter (FBT splitter) and planar lightwave circuit splitter (PLC splitter). You may have one question: what’s the difference between them and shall we use FBT or PLC splitter?   What Is FBT Splitter? FBT splitter is based on a traditional technology to weld several fiber together from side of the fiber. Fibers are aligned by heating for a specific location and length. Because the fused fibers are very fragile, they are protected by a glass tube made of epoxy and silica powder. And then a stainless steel tube covers the inner glass tu

Introduction of Optical Fiber Couplers and How Do They Work?

 What are optical fiber couplers? A fiber optic coupler can be defined as an optical component used with one or more input fibers and several output fibers in fiber optic systems. A coupler essentially puts two or more cores of fibers together to connect. The simple coupler is the fused fiber 2x2 coupler. Couplers are used as multiplexers that are resistant to certain wavelengths. A fiber output depends on the wavelength of light and the frequency of polarization. The fiber refractive index also plays a significant role in the performance. Let’s checkout how do optic couplers work to understand this better. How do fiber optic couplers work? Either fiber optic couplers separate optical signals into multiple paths or combine multiple signals in one direction. Optical signals are more complicated than electrical signals, making it more difficult to design optical couplers than their electrical copy. Unlike electrical currents, the optical signal consists of a stream of signal carriers, in
