40gbase Qsfp+ Fiber Optical Transceiver Module

The 40Gbps QSFP+ transceiver is well suited for Infiniband and 40GBASE-SR4 / 40GBASE-LR4 applications. It combines the higher density attractions of parallel modules with some of the key advantages normally associated with SFP+ based modules. It is intended for use short reach applications in switches, routers and data center equipment where it provides higher density and lower cost when compared with standard SFP+ modules.

Features :

QSFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 compatible
Four independently addressable transmit and receive channels
Highly compact: savings of 60% on edge and board usage compared to four comparable SFP+ modules
Electrically hot-pluggable
XFP-like latch mechanism for ease-of-insertion
Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface. allows customer management and monitoring of key modules parameters, analogous to SFP+
Optical connectivity via industry standard MPO/MTP terminated fiber ribbon

Applications :

High-speed interconnects within and between switches, routers and transport equipment
Server-Server Clusters, Super-computing interconnections
Proprietary backplanes
Interconnects rack-to-rack, shelf-to-shelf, board-to-board, board-to-optical backplane
40GBASE-LR4 Ethernet links
10GBASE-SR applications
40GBASE-SR4 applications
40GBASE-ER4 Ethernet links
InfiniBand SDR, DDR and QDR applications
