Is it possible that QSFP+ optical modules be used on the QSFP28 port?

2017-08-26
With the rapid development of optical communications in recent years, the user demand for the network has also soared. The rapid rise of 100G optical transceiver in the market has become the focus of attention of users.
Users of 100G networks often meet some problems. For example, the maximum transmission distance of QSFP28 optical module is 10km. To achieve a longer distance data transmission, need to use 40G QSFP+ optical module on the 100G switch.
Is it possible that QSFP+ optical modules be used on the QSFP28 port?
So many users may have doubts, can QSFP+ optical module be used on the QSFP28 port of 100G switch? Or can QSFP28 optical module be used on the QSFP+ port? Fiberland will answer these two questions for you.

The dimensions of QSFP28 and QSFP+ module is same, but their transmission mode is different. The former is 4x10G or 4x25G, and the latter is 4x10G, so the 100G QSFP28 port can use QSFP+ optical module or QSFP28 optical module. 

The SFP+ optical module cannot run on the SFP port, QSFP28 optical module also can not be used on the QSFP+ port. The port of the optical module must match the port shape of the switch, and the port rate of the switch should be equal to or greater than the rate of the optical module used.

The QSFP28 port can use the QSFP+ optical module, but the QSFP28 optical module cannot be used on the QSFP+ port. When you use QSFP modules on the QSFP28 port, remember to configure the switches. To ensure network transmission is normal, you need to make sure that both ends connector are the same, there is no compatibility. The above QSFP+ modules and QSFP28 modules are available, welcome to contact.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
