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.
