There are many medias to be used for interconnects among network equipment, copper and fiber, copper with its limitation of transmit distance, normally used for intra racks, and optics with longer transmission distance and used for inter-racks or inter-DCs. As for the copper media, there is DACs and ACCs. DACs, it is short for Direct […]

There are lots of QSFP-DD variants in the market, they are able to be classified by the suffixes, the following text briefly introduces those suffixes. SR8: SR is an abbreviation of Short Range, it refers to transmitting over multimode fiber up to 100m, while 8 means 8x optical channel pairs (8x Tx and 8x Rx), […]
Introduction 100G Single Lambda transceivers were defined by 100G Lambda MSA (100G Lambda Multi-Source Agreement). The MSA 100G MSA uses 100G PAM4 optical signaling and encoding it is able to use 100Gb/s per channel to transmit from 2m up to 40KM via single-mode fiber. Advantages The traditional 100Gb/s optical standards such as 100GBASE LR4, 100GBASE […]
The recommended location and numbering of the optical ports for 3 Media Dependent Interfaces (MDI) are shown as follows. The transmit and receive optical lanes shall occupy the positions depicted in the following when looking into the MDI receptacle with the connector keyway feature on top. QSFP112 optical MDI examples are shown for a male […]
HUAWEI transceivers can be classified according to different standards. Depending on transmission rates, the transceivers are classified into 400G, 100GE, 40GE,25GE, 10GE, GE, and FE transceivers. Depending on modes, the transceivers are classified into single-mode and multimode transceivers. Depending on encapsulation types, the transceivers are classified into: SFP/eSFP, SFP+, XFP, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28, CFP/CFP2, CXP […]
The QSFP-DD MSA is a multi-company industry group. The QSFP-DD MSA has defined a high-density 8-channel (8x) module, cage, and connector system. QSFP-DD supports up to 400 Gb/s in aggregate over an 8 x 50 Gb/s electrical interface. QSFP-DD MSA recommended three duplex connectors, MDC connector, CS connector and SN connector. The following paragraph are […]
1. What is a QSFP-DD Optical Modules? A QSFP-DD Optical Transceiver with double density features, it refers doubling the number of high speed transmitter and receiver for the optical signal transmitting. The QSFP-DD transceivers is ready for the new PAM4 function for supporting 50Gbps per channel, which could support bandwidth over 400Gbps via MPO/MTP fiber […]
Currently, 400G QSFP-DD transceivers use 8 pairs of MMF to transmit signal in short distance, while bidirectional (BiDi) technology enables users to save the fibers for new data center deployment or maximize their usage of the existing fiber cabling infrastructure. the following article briefly explains the latest connector for QSFP-DD BIDI transceivers. 1. MPO Optical […]
