Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ transceiver used for?
A 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ transceiver is used to transmit 40 Gbps data signals over long-distance single-mode fiber connections. The DWDM capability allows multiple wavelengths to travel simultaneously on the same fiber, maximizing bandwidth efficiency in enterprise networks, data centers, and carrier environments.
How far can this transceiver transmit data?
This Axiom module supports an 80 km transmission reach over single-mode fiber, making it ideal for campus networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and long-distance data center interconnections without requiring signal regeneration.
Is the Axiom 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ compatible with my network equipment?
Yes, this transceiver is MSA-compatible, meaning it meets industry standards for QSFP+ modules and works with most major networking equipment manufacturers including Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and others that support standard 40G QSFP+ interfaces.
What does the 1554.13nm wavelength mean?
The 1554.13nm wavelength is a specific DWDM channel in the C-band spectrum. This wavelength allows the transceiver to operate alongside other DWDM channels on the same fiber, enabling efficient multi-wavelength transmission for high-capacity network links.
