In recent years, with the rapid growth of user demand for 40G and 100G optical module transmission links, cloud computing, mobile broadband and IPTV users have increasingly demanded bandwidth. 40G links have been deployed for several years. Today, 40G optical transceivers are ubiquitous in data centers. In the past two years, 100G optical transceivers have developed rapidly in the data center market due to the development of the optical industry centered on "100G network deployment". The 100G optical module transceiver types currently on the market are: QSFP28 optical tranceiver, CFP optical tranceiver, CFP2 optical tranceiver, CFP4 optical tranceiver and CXP optical tranceiver. Here Unitekfiber is briefly introduce all these 100G Optical tranceivers.
Nowadays, 100G optical transceivers have developed rapidly in the data center market due to the development of the optical industry centered on "100G network deployment". The 100G optical transceiver types currently on the market are: QSFP28 optical transceiver, CFP optical transceiver, CFP2 optical transceiver, CFP4 optical transceiver and CXP optical transceiver. Among them, the QSFP28 100G optical transceiver module has become the module of choice because of its smaller size and lower power consumption. Here UnitekFiber will introduce all the information about QSFP28 100G optical transceiver.
The QSFP28 100G optical transceiver is specifically designed for high-speed applications like 100 Gigabit Ethernet, EDR InfiniBand, and 32G Fibre Channel. QSFP28 100G optical transceiver shares the same footprint and faceplate density as the 40G QSFP+ optical transceiver, making it easy to integrate into existing systems. Similar to the 40G QSFP+ optical transceiver, the 100G optical transceiver utilizes four channels of high-speed differential signals, but with higher data rates ranging from 25Gbps up to potentially 40Gbps.
With an upgraded electrical interface, the QSFP28 100G optical transceiver can support signals up to 28Gbps, enabling reliable and efficient data transmission. There are several common types of 100G optical transceiver available, including QSFP 100G SR4, QSFP 100G LR4, QSFP 100G PSM4, QSFP 100G CWDM4, and QSFP 100G ER4. Each type is designed to meet different transmission distance requirements.
Compared to other 100G optical transceiver options such as CFP/CFP2/CFP4, the 100G optical transceiver optics excels in various aspects. It offers increased density, allowing for more connections within limited space.
The QSFP28 100G optical transceiver is a high-speed data transmission component widely used in various applications, including 100 Gigabit Ethernet, EDR InfiniBand, and 32G Fibre Channel. It offers reliable connectivity for switches, routers, servers, and storage devices, making it an essential component in modern network infrastructure. Different types of QSFP28 100G optical transceiver are designed to meet specific transmission distance requirements, making it suitable for a variety of short-range and long-range applications. Overall, the 100G optical transceiver delivers excellent performance and value, contributing to increased density, decreased power consumption, and reduced costs per bit.
