QSFP+ 40GE DWDM PAM4 100GHz LC
A QSFP+ form-factor DWDM transceiver for 40Gbps Ethernet applications.
Product information
The SO-QSFP-Dxx is a pluggable QSFP+ DWDM transceiver designed for high capacity 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) Data Center Interconnect (DCI) optical communication applications up to 80km1) over a single mode fiber.
The transceiver utilizes one PAM4-modulated 20Gbd wavelength within a 100GHz channel, enabling up to 40 channels over a 100GHz DWDM grid system as specified in the ITU-T 694.1 standard. Integrated, high-gain FEC (Forward Error Correction) and advanced ADC/DSP technology enable optical reaches up to 80km over an amplified DWDM line system.
The electrical signals are transmitted and received from the host via a standard 38 pin connector described in the QSFP MSA (SFF-8679). The electrical 40Gbps signal consists of four parallel 10Gbps NRZ streams.
