How to Upgrade 10G to 40G/100G?

Many enterprises are considering the move to a 40/100G ethernet infrastructure, often they overlook the impact of remaining with a multimode fiber infrastructure. While there is little difference in the infrastructure requirements of 10G ethernet for single-mode fiber and multimode fiber infrastructures, there is an exponential difference in 40/100G ethernet infrastructures.



40G QSFP+ SR4 transceiver is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver, which is evolved from QSFP transceiver, used for high-speed data communications applications. It provides four channels of data in one pluggable interface, with each channel capable of transmitting data at 10Gbps and supporting a total of 40Gbps. 

Features

• Four-channel full-duplex transceiver module
• Hot Pluggable QSFP+ form factor
• Maximum link length of 100m on OM3 Multimode Fiber (MMF) and 150m on OM4 MMF
• Single 1x12 MPO receptacle

Applications

• 40GBASE-SR4 40G Ethernet
• Breakout to 4 x 10GBASE-SR Ethernet 
• Proprietary interconnections

MTP/MPO to LC breakout cable is the designated interface for multimode 40/100G, and it’s backward compatible with legacy 1G/10G applications as well. The MTP/MPO cable help data center end-users maintain standards compliance and best practices when migrating from 10G Ethernet to 40G Ethernet. It simplify the migration to 40G Ethernet while maintaining standards compliance, so that data center operators only need to purchase one type of MTP/MPO patch cable reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Features

• 100% tested for low insertion loss and back reflection
• Optional MPO or MTP Connector
• Support 40G parallel optics networks
• Support OM3, OM4, SM optic fiber

Applications

• Data Center Infrastructure
• Storage Area Network- Fiber Channel
• 40G, 100G and 400G Fiber Network
