Product Description
This Brocade 40G-QSFP-IR4 transceiver module provides high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber for distances up to 1 kilometer. It utilizes the QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) form factor, which is designed for high-density Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. The 'IR4' designation typically indicates 'Intermediate Reach' and implies the use of four optical lanes, often combined using CWDM technology. The transceiver operates at a specific wavelength of 1360nm and adheres to the 40GBase-CWDM standard. CWDM allows multiple wavelengths to be transmitted over a single fiber strand, increasing bandwidth capacity. This specific module is designed for a 1km reach, making it suitable for connecting data centers, aggregation points, or campus buildings where high bandwidth is required over relatively short to intermediate distances. The physical connector type for 40G CWDM modules can vary, but commonly includes duplex LC connectors for each lane or a single MPO connector for parallel optics. The pluggable QSFP+ design allows for hot-swapping, simplifying installation and maintenance. This transceiver is a critical component for modern network infrastructures demanding high throughput and efficient fiber utilization.
