Product Overview

40G parallel optics transceivers (40GBASE-SR4) supports 4x10G modes, making new parallel optics active equipment compatible with existing 10G transceivers.

MPO QSFP+ to SFP+ fanout assemblies provide connections between single QSFP+ (40G transceiver with MPO interface) and 4 x SFP+ (10G transceivers with LC(DX) interface).

Parallel optics 40GBASE-SR4 uses 8 out of 12 MPO interface fibers, transmitting 4 x duplex (DX) channels (4 x transmit and 4 x receive).

QSFP+ to SFP+ fanout is 8 x fibers MPO to LC (DX) ruggedized fanout assembly. The assembly utilizes a miniature version of a breakout module saving fiber management space and providing a secure transition between cable and tails.

Table of Contents

Features

  • New miniature breakout module saves space within the patching management area whilst providing a robust and safe transition between cable and tails
  • Female MPO connectors for direct connection into QSFP+ transceiver
  • 4 x 2 mm tails (Uniboot DX version available) improve rack patching management
  • OM3, OM4, G.657A1, and G.657A2 fiber versions
  • 3 mm OD Patch / 4.5 mm OD Trunk MicroCable versions
  • LSZH, OFNP, and OFNR cable jacket types
  • Standard jacket colors: OM3 and OM4 Aqua, G.657A1, or G.657A2 Yellow
  • Factory terminated and tested
  • Optimized performance – premium MPO, discrete LC premium connectors, and OM4 fiber assure low insertion losses and power penalties in tight power budget, high-speed network environments
  • Rapid deployment – factory terminated modular system saves installation and reconfiguration time during moves, adds, and changes
  • 100% tested – a combination of high-quality components and manufacturing quality control guarantees product performs to the highest standards

Applications

  • Data center
  • Parallel optics
  • Storage Area Networks (SAN)
  • 40GBASE-SR4 to 4x10GBASE-SR links
