Brocade 40G-QSFP-SR4-INT 40Gb/s QSFP+ 150m 850nm MPO MMF Transceiver

Description

The Brocade 40G-QSFP-SR4-INT is a high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module designed for short-reach applications within data centers. This module utilizes four lanes of 10Gb/s transmission, aggregating to a total bandwidth of 40Gb/s, making it ideal for high-performance network uplinks and server connections. The 'SR4' designation indicates its suitability for short reach over parallel optics using multimode fiber. This transceiver operates at a wavelength of 850nm, employing VCSEL technology for efficient data transmission. It is designed to achieve distances of up to 150 meters over OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber optic cables. The key feature for this type of transceiver is its MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connector, which houses multiple fiber strands (typically 12) in a single connector, enabling the parallel transmission required for 40Gb/s speeds. This allows for higher port density and simplified cabling compared to using multiple individual fiber connections. The 40G-QSFP-SR4-INT is a crucial component for modern data center network architectures, supporting high-bandwidth demands for cloud computing, big data analytics, and high-performance computing environments. Its 'INT' designation may suggest specific interoperability or internal use characteristics, but fundamentally it provides a robust 40Gb/s connectivity solution over multimode fiber for demanding network infrastructure.
