QSFP-DD 400G

Among the 400G modules, the QSFP-DD has established itself as the most popular form factor against the CFP8 and OSFP modules. The QSFP-DD form factor was designed to handle data rates of 200 Gbit / s and higher. 400G QSFP-DD modules are used for the transmission of 400 Gigabit Ethernet.

Available Modules:

The C form factor was developed to transmit data rates of 100 Gbit/s and higher. In order to meet the technical requirements, the form factor had to be increased compared to SFP + or XFP. With the CFP transceiver, normal client signals as well as DWDM signals can be transmitted in the different variants. There are transceivers with 10x10G, 4x25G or 1x100G as the transmission method.

Available Modules:

Quad Small Formfactor Pluggable (QSFP) transceivers can transmit up to 40 Gbit/s or 100 Gbit/s data rate. QSFP28 optics support four lanes of 28 Gbit/s each and are used for 100 Gigabit Ethernet.

Available modules:

Quad Small Formfactor Pluggable (QSFP) transceivers can transmit up to 40 Gbit/s or 100 Gbit/s data rate. With the QSFP+ modules 4x10G or 1x40G can be transmitted.

Small Formfactor Plugables (SFP) are the successor of the GBIC optics and are currently the most widespread plugable optics on the market. Depending on the cable type (multimode or single-mode fiber), wavelength (850 nm, 1310 nm, 1550 nm or CWDM/DWDM) and data rate, the SFPs are available in different versions. In addition, SFPs with RJ45 connections are also available, comparable to the permanently installed copper ports on other components. Other available variants are designed for distances of up to 180 km.

With fast ethernet modules, the transmission takes place at a data rate of up to 100 Gbits/s.

In addition to the two known standards for cabling, fiber optic patch cables or copper cables, there has been a third option for some time. These are Direct Attach Cable (DAC) and Active Optical Cable (AOC). Both types are cables with permanently installed transceiver modules at both ends.

AOC-cable

Compared to DAC cables, AOC cables have a longer range and are more flexible and lighter than normal Cat.5 / 6 copper cables. In their plugs they contain an E/O and O/E converter, which converts the electrical signal into an optical one, can transmit it via the single-mode or multimode fiber and converts the signal back into an electrical signal at the end of the line. The bridgeable distance is up to 100 m. Depending on the version, e.g. An AOC cable for QSFP modules from up to four lanes via which the signals can be transmitted in full duplex. With CXP modules, in turn, 12 transmit and 12 receive channels are transmitted via an AOC cable.

The active optical cables (AOC) offer significant cost advantages compared to conventional optical modules. The cables are electrically compliant with InfiniBand FDR / QDR / DDR, Ethernet (10, 40, 56, 100 Gbit / s), and other protocol applications.

Available modules:

DAC cables are Twinax cables with a maximum length of 10m. In contrast to normal copper cables, a Twinax cable uses a different signal method that transmits the signals faster (with lower latency) and therefore requires much less current than an electrical signal via a copper cable. E.g. the latency of SFP+ DAC cables is approx. 50% less than the latency for transmission over copper cables. Also only about 50% of the wattage is required as with normal SFP + modules.
