Brocade UP-57-1000128-01 40Gb/s QSFP+ 150m 850nm MPO MMF Transceiver

Description

This Brocade QSFP+ transceiver, identified by SKU UP-57-1000128-01, is a high-performance optical module designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) connectivity over short distances using multimode fiber (MMF). The QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) form factor enables high port density, making it suitable for demanding data center environments. This specific transceiver operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is typical for short-reach MMF applications. The UP-57-1000128-01 supports data transmission up to 150 meters. This distance limitation is characteristic of multimode fiber, especially at higher speeds like 40Gbps, and is sufficient for connections within a data center rack, between adjacent racks, or across short rows. The transceiver utilizes an MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connector, which is standard for high-density fiber optic applications, as it consolidates multiple fiber strands into a single connector. This transceiver is ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as server-to-switch uplinks, switch-to-switch interconnects, and storage area networks (SANs) within a data center. Compliance with the QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) ensures interoperability with compatible networking hardware. It typically includes Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) capabilities, providing real-time insights into the transceiver's operational status, which is crucial for performance management and troubleshooting in high-density environments.
