Introduction

In this article we will talk about the 40GBASE-LX4 Ethernet standard and its optical transceivers and which brands these are compatible with and their basic solutions, All this just to give you more understanding about 40GBASE-LX4 technology. You can also check the compatibility Cozlink transceivers to get compatible and cost-effective products.

What is the 40GBASE-LX4 technology?

40GBASE-LX4 QSFP+ transceiver module designed for up to 500m SMF/MMF optical communication applications. The module converts 4 inputs channels (ch) of 10Gb/s electrical data to 4 CWDM optical signals, and multiplexes them into a single channel for 40Gb/s optical transmission. Reversely, on the receiver side, the module optically de-multiplexes a 40Gb/s input into 4 CWDM channels signals, and converts them to 4 channel output electrical data.

40GBASE-LX4 compatible brands:

 Cozlink products and services: a convenient shopping platform, custom Logo, packaging, etc.

What are the Difference Between 40GBASE-LX4 and 40GBASE-SR4?

40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ transceiver reach 40 Gb/s Ethernet over four wavelengths carried by a single mode fiber optic cable. 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ transceiver is compliant with the duplex LC connector. 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ transceiver can reach up to 10km, suitable for long reach transmission.

The 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP module supports link lengths of 100 and 150 meters, respectively, on laser-optimized OM3 and OM4 multimode fibers. It primarily enables high-bandwidth 40G optical links over 12-fiber parallel fiber terminated with MPO/MTP multifiber female connectors. QSFP-40G-SR4-S is optimized to guarantee interoperability with any IEEE-compliant 40GBase-SR4 module.

Conclusion

Since most of the brands are only applicable to their own devices and this makes the third-party compatible optical transceiver really important as it ensures that the equipment of these brands are compatible with each other, Cozlink transceivers are known for these high performance. They are easily compatible with a huge number of brands and the prices you get on Cozlink is really less than the prices on original manufacturer All this makes Cozlink the perfect place for third-party compatible optical transceiver for 40GBASE-LX4 Ethernet standard solution. In addition to providing optical transceivers, Cozlink also offers patch cords, fiber optic pigtails and high speed cables for your choice.
