Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ transceiver used for?
The 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ transceiver is used for high-speed, long-distance Ethernet connectivity in data center interconnects, metropolitan area networks, and carrier networks. It enables 40 Gbps transmission over single-mode fiber up to 80 km, making it ideal for connecting remote facilities and scaling network capacity.
Is the Axiom QSFP+ transceiver compatible with other vendors?
Yes, the Axiom 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ is MSA compatible, ensuring interoperability with standards-based networking equipment from multiple vendors. This compatibility simplifies network design and reduces vendor lock-in concerns.
What does the 1535.82nm wavelength mean?
The 1535.82 nm wavelength is the specific light frequency used for DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transmission. This wavelength allows multiple 40GBASE-DWDM channels to operate simultaneously on the same fiber, maximizing bandwidth utilization in long-distance networks.
Can this transceiver work with multimode fiber?
No, the Axiom 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ is designed exclusively for single-mode fiber (SMF) with LC connectors. Single-mode fiber is required to achieve the 80 km transmission distance and maintain signal integrity at 40 Gbps over extended distances.
