40G QSFP + What is the working principle of the cable?

2017-08-29
Last week, some customers asked me some information about the 40G QSFP+ & 4*10G SFP+. So in order to know more better about the products, we now share the working principles with you, hope it can be helpful for you and your business.

Totally, for the wavelength of 40G QSFP+, the 4 channels are different ---- 1270/1290/1310/1330nm.

1. 40G QSFP+ to connect 40G QSFP+: When you connect the QSFP+ to QSFP+, the transmit wavelength are 1270/1290/1310/1330nm, and the receiving side are also 1270/1290/1310/1330nm.
And you don't need to worry that how the receiving side receive the correct wavelength, there is an array principle between the two, the receiving side can find which wavelength is the correct one by itself when receiving.

2. 40G QSFP+ to 4*10G SFP+ modules: When you connect the QSFP+ to 4* 10G SFP+ modules, 4 channels wavelength of the 40G QSFP+ are not changed(still 1270/1290/1310/1330nm), and the 4*10G SFP+ can receive the wavelength from 1270 to 1610nm, so don't need to define the 4*10G SFP+ wavelength to match the 4 channel of 40G QSFP+.  
The receiving side can receive all the wavelength from 1270 to 1610nm.

3. 40G QSFP+ to 4*10G SFP+ DAC cable: Because the DAC cable are the electric cable, so there is no wavelength in them (both QSFP+ and SFP+).
For  the DAC, it only transmits the electric signal, and it only divides the one electric signal of QSFP+ to 4 electric signals of SFP+.
So no needs to define the wavelength, there is no wavelength.

4. 40G QSFP+ to 4*10G SFP+ AOC cable: There only has the short distance of 40G QSFP+ to 4*10G SFP+ AOC, the 40G QSFP+ is the SR4, 850nm MPO connector. 
In MPO, there are 12pcs Pins , use 8pins for 850nm and then the 10G SFP+ receive 4*850nm to transmit the data.

    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.
