FAQ
What type of connector does this QSFP+ module use?
This module uses an MPO/MTP connector, which is a multi-fiber push-on/pull-off connector commonly used for 40GBase-SR4 applications. It supports parallel optics over multi-mode fiber, enabling high-density connections in data center and enterprise environments.
What is the maximum distance supported by this optical transceiver?
The maximum supported distance is 0.15 kilometers (approximately 0.09 miles) over multi-mode fiber optic cable. This reach is typical for 40GBase-SR4 technology and is suitable for short-distance connections within buildings or data centers.
Is this module compatible with single-mode or multi-mode fiber?
This module is designed for multi-mode fiber optic cable. It operates at 850 nm wavelength, which is standard for multi-mode fiber deployments. It does not support single-mode fiber, which is used for longer-distance applications.
