Brocade E7Y33A 40Gb/s QSFP+ 850nm MPO Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Product Description

The Brocade E7Y33A is a high-performance optical transceiver module designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) and other high-speed networking applications. It employs the QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) form factor, which allows for higher port density and greater bandwidth compared to earlier transceiver types. This module is specifically engineered for use with multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cables, making it suitable for data center interconnects, high-performance computing clusters, and other environments where short to medium-reach, high-bandwidth connectivity is required. Operating at a wavelength of 850nm, the E7Y33A utilizes vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) for efficient and reliable signal transmission over multi-mode fiber. The MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connector is a key feature, as it accommodates multiple fiber strands within a single connector housing. This is essential for achieving the high aggregate bandwidth of 40Gb/s, which is typically achieved by aggregating four parallel optical lanes, each operating at 10Gb/s. This transceiver is designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers and enterprise networks. Its ability to deliver 40Gb/s speeds over multi-mode fiber makes it a cost-effective solution for upgrading network infrastructure to support increasing data demands from applications like big data analytics, cloud computing, and high-performance storage. Compatibility is typically with Brocade switches and other network equipment that supports the QSFP+ form factor and 40GbE standards.
