Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 40G QSFP+ DWDM transceiver used for?
A 40G QSFP+ DWDM transceiver enables high-speed, long-distance data transmission over single-mode fiber networks. DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) allows multiple wavelengths to travel on the same fiber, maximizing bandwidth efficiency. This module is commonly deployed in data center interconnects, campus networks, and metropolitan area networks requiring 40 Gbps throughput with extended reach.
How far can the Axiom QSFP40G-D80-C45-AX transmit?
This 40GBASE-DWDM transceiver supports transmission distances up to 80 km over single-mode fiber, making it suitable for long-distance enterprise and carrier-class deployments. The extended reach is achieved through optimized optical design and the 1541.35 nm wavelength allocation.
Is this QSFP+ transceiver compatible with my network equipment?
Yes, the Axiom QSFP40G-D80-C45-AX features MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliance, ensuring compatibility with standard QSFP+ ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards from major manufacturers. The LC connector and 40GBASE-DWDM protocol support provide broad interoperability across enterprise and data center platforms.
What wavelength does this 40G QSFP+ module operate on?
This transceiver operates at 1541.35 nm, a standard DWDM channel wavelength. This wavelength allocation enables seamless integration into existing DWDM systems and allows multiple transceivers to coexist on the same fiber infrastructure without interference.
