Used in 40GBASE-XSR4 Standard Optical Transceiver Models
2016-12-12

Introduction

In this article we will discuss about the 40GBASE-XSR4 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-XSR4 technology to understand the basic solutions to 40GBASE-XSR4. Also, you can check the compatible Cozlink transceivers to get compatible and cost-effective products.

What is the 40GBASE-XSR4 technology?

40GBASE-XSR4 is a parallel 40Gb/s Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP+) optical module, terminated with MPO multi fiber connectors. It provides increased port density and total system cost savings. The QSFP+ full-duplex optical module offers 4 independent transmit and receive channels, each capable of 10Gb/s operation for an aggregate data rate of 40Gb/s on 300 meters of OM3 multi-mode fiber.

What are the Difference Between 40GBASE-XSR4 and 40GBASE-CSR4?

Parallel optics 40GBASE-XSR4 uses 8 out of 12 MPO/MTP interface fibers transmitting 4 x Duplex (DX) channels (4 x Transmit and 4 x Receive). QSFP+ to SFP+ Fanout is 8 x Fibres MTP to LC (DX) Ruggedized Fan-out assembly. Assembly utilizes new miniature version of breakout module saving fiber management space and providing secure transition between cable and tails.


40GBASE-CSR4 QSFP Modules extend the reach of the IEEE 40GBASE-SR4 interface to 300 and 400 meters on laser-optimized OM3 and OM4 multimode parallel fiber, respectively. Each 10-gigabit lane of this module is compliant to IEEE 10GBASE-SR specifications. This module can be used for native 40G optical links over 12-fiber parallel cables with MPO/MTP female connectors or in a 4x10G mode with parallel to duplex fiber breakout cables for connectivity to four 10GBASE-SR interfaces. Cisco QSFP-40G-CSR4 is optimized to guarantee interoperability over the complete specification range of 10GBASE-SR.

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-XSR4 Ethernet standard solution. In addition to providing optical transceivers, Cozlink also offers patch cords, fiber optic pigtails and high speed cables for your choice.
