2016-12-12

Introduction

In this article we will discuss about the 40GBASE-UNIV Ethernet standard and its optical transceivers and the brands offer which offers you these and their basic solutions, So you can have a basic understanding for 40GBASE-UNIV technology to understand the basic solutions to 40GBASE-UNIV. Also, you can check the compatible Cozlink transceivers to get compatible and cost-effective products.

What is the 40GBASE-UNIV technology?

The 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ is a pluggable optical transceiver with a duplex LC connector that can operate with both single-mode fiber and multimode fiber. Generally, the transmission distance could be up to 150 m over OM3/OM4 and up to 2 km over SMF. It has 4 channels of 10G multiplexed inside the module to transmit and receive an aggregate 40G signal over a single pair (2 strands) of fiber. It is called “Universal” because of its ability to operate with both SMF and MMF without the need for any software/hardware changes to the module or any additional hardware in the network.

What are the Difference Between 40GBASE-UNIV and 40GBASE-CSR4?

The 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ offers a very cost-effective connectivity solution and unique value proposition for data centers to migrate from 10G to 40G with minimal disruption over existing single-mode and multimode infrastructure.


The 1000BASE-SX SFP, compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard, operates on legacy 50 μm multimode fiber links up to 550 m and on 62.5 μm Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)-grade multimode fibers up to 220 m. It can support up to 1km over laser-optimized 50 μm multimode fiber cable.

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-UNIV Ethernet standard solution. In addition to providing optical transceivers, Cozlink also offers patch cords, fiber optic pigtails and high speed cables for your choice.
