2017-07-15
As the data center area and data transmission rate is growing, people need a minimum distance of 500m transmission distance of 100G optical module solution, based on this, 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 light module came into being, it is a Single-mode parallel optical module, can provide cost-effective long-distance optical interconnect solutions for 100G data center.
Tutorial of 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 Optical Module
100G PSM4 standard

The 100G PSM4 standard is a multi-source protocol (MSA) designed to deliver a low-cost solution that delivers four 25 Gbps wavelengths over a single-mode fiber in addition to the IEEE 100G Ethernet specification, specifically design for transmission distances of 500 m Of the network applications. Compared to IEEE 100GBASE-LR4 (transmission distance ≤ 10 km) and 100GBASE-SR4 (transmission distance ≤ 100 m), the 100G PSM4 standard meets the transmission distance requirements of multiple applications and saves deployment costs.

100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module

100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module in line with 100G PSM4 standard, using single-mode fiber parallel transmission mode, each 100G model using 8-core single-mode fiber common constitute four independent channels, each channel transmission 25G data. This optical module uses a 12-pin MPO / MTP interface, where the middle 4-core fiber of the MPO / MTP interface is not enabled. 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module optical fiber transmission and 100GBASE-SR4 optical module is similar to the former, which is the use of single-mode fiber as a transmission medium, and the use of laser light source 1310 window. The 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module is typically used with OS2 single-mode fiber with a transmission distance of up to 500m. Compared to other 100G optical modules, the 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module has a great deal of cost in this transmission distance The The following figure is 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module works schematic diagram:

The factors should be considered when deploy the 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module

Compared with the 100GBASE-LR4 optical module, the price of the 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module is much cheaper. However, the 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module needs to be used with eight parallel single-mode fibers, while the 100GBASE-LR4 optical module requires only two single-mode fibers. If the fiber link is too long, the 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module There will not be too much advantage. Therefore, the use of 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical modules are: the data center has been deployed parallel single-mode fiber, or fiber optic transmission distance of 500m within the range.
Conclusion

The 100GBASE-PSM4 QSFP28 optical module is designed for applications with a transmission distance of 500m. The biggest feature is the inexpensive cost savings in data center 500m transmission applications.

    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.
