Long-distance Connecting Solutions to 40G QSFP+
2017-07-19
40G Ethernet comes to be more dominated in the modern network with its high transmission rate. 40G QSFP+ optical module is an important component of 40G Ethernet, which provide high density 40G Ethernet interface for the data centers of the network service providers. Now a verity of 40G QSFP+ optical modules have been appeared on the market, such as 40G Bidi QSFP+ optical modules, 40G QSFP+ for short-distance transmission and 40G QSFP+ for long-distance transmission etc. Here we will describe three kinds of 40G QSFP+ Transceivers for long-distance transmission in detail.
QSFP-40G-ER4 QSFP+ Optical Module
QSFP-40G-ER4 QSFP+ is a hot-pluggable optical module that the data transmission rate up to 44.6Gbps on G.652 single mode fiber and the transmission distance can reach 40km. this optical module has four independent transmission and reception optical signal channels, need to use MUX and DEMUX to multiplex and demultiplex optical signal.
QSFP-40G-ER4 QSFP+ optical module are usually used with LC single mode fiber jumpers to realize the direct connection between devices. As shown below:
QSFP-40G-ER4 interconnection
For the interconnection between two QSFP-40G-ER4 QSFP+ optical module, LC fiber jumper are still required. In addition, in order to manage various cables in the interconnection application, fiber distribution box are needed to be used, this fiber distribution box either loads the LC adapter panel or loads the MPO / MTP junction box, the following diagram shows the details about it:
QSFP-40G-LR4 QSFP+ Optical Module
QSFP-40G-LR4 QSFP+ optical module complied with IEEE 802.3ba（40GBASE-LR4） standard that the transmission distance up to 10km on single mode fiber. This optical module has four data channel and the transmission rate of per channel is about 40Gbps, so that can achieve 40Gbps transmission when the data transmitted by four channels simultaneously.
Same as QSFP-40G-ER4 QSFP+ optical module, QSFP-40G-LR4 QSFP+ optical module can achieve direct connection via LC single mode fiber jumper, please see details below:
For the interconnection between QSFP-40G-LR4 QSFP+ optical modules, the connecting way of QSFP-40G-LR4 QSFP+ optical module is similar to QSFP-40G-ER4’s. LC fiber jumper, MPO / MTP backbone fiber jumper, fiber distribution box are needed. As shown below:
40GBASE-PLRL4 QSFP+ Optical Module
The transmission rate of 40GBASE-PLRL4 QSFP+ optical module is 40Gbps, the transmission distance can reach 1.4km. This optical module are usually used with MTP / MPO (12-core0) singlemode fiber jumper. In addition, 40GBASE-PLRL4 QSFP+ optical module can also configured as four independent 10G-LR fiber links, at this time, cross type (Type-B) MPO / MTP (female) – 4 x LC branch fiber jumpers are required if you want to realize direct connection. The following diagram shows the details:
In many cases, optical modules are usually need to be interconnected. If you want to change the above connections to interconnection applications, you need to increase the MPO / MTP backbone fiber jumper and fiber distribution box. It should be noted that the optical fiber distribution box should be loaded MPO / MTP adapter panel, as shown below:

012019-10With 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.

012019-101. 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.

012019-10AOC 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.
