Comprehensive analysis of 40G QSFP+ SR4 and 100G QSFP28 SR4 parallel optical modules
In the process of digitization, data processing, storage and transmission have developed rapidly. The rapid growth of a large number of data search services and video services has led to the development of data centers based on supercomputers and storage. As the main product for short-distance data center interconnection applications, high-speed parallel transmission optical modules have broad market application prospects. In this article, ETU-LINK will introduce the 40G QSFP+ and 100G QSFP28 parallel optical modules applied in data centers. Parallel optical modules are arranged to drive arrays, lasers, detectors, and MCU chips. Signal transmission and reception can be completed through multiple channels, which enables parallel optical communication to support higher rates. Because of this, parallel optical communication needs to use multiple optical fibers to support higher rate transmission, so multi-core connector MPO is needed to support higher data transmis...
