Comprehensive analysis of 40G QSFP+ SR4 and 100G QSFP28 SR4 parallel optical modules

图片
  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...

Comprehensively analyze the application scenario of optical module

  Optical module is mainly used in the field of data communication. Its function is to realize the mutual conversion of photoelectric signals. Due to the rise of big data, blockchain, cloud computing, Internet of things, artificial intelligence and 5G, data traffic has increased rapidly.The optical interconnection of data center and mobile communication has become a research hotspot in the optical communication industry. Next, ETU-LINK will introduce in detail what fields the next optical module can be applied to. 1.Data C enter A large number of network switches and server clusters are placed in the host room of the data center. They are the core of generic cabling and information network equipment and the data aggregation center of information network system. For the connection between servers, switches and between servers and switches, the optical module (direct copper cable, active optical cable), optical fiber patch cord and other transmission carriers of ...

Alcatel-Lucent OS6860E-48 Switch optical module collocation solution

图片
  The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6860 Virtual Chassis Full Layer 3 Ethernet Switch is a compact, high-density Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet platform designed for converged networks. There are four models of this series: OS6860-P24, OS6860E-48, OS6860E-P24Z8, and OS6860E-U28. The following ETU-LINK will introduce the OS6860E-48 switch and optical module solutions separatel y . The OS6860-48 switch is equipped with 48 10/100/1000 Base-T ports and 4 1G/10G SFP+ ports. The configurable optical modules are shown in the table below. If the transmission distance between devices is short, you can also use 10G SFP+ direct attach cables . The above is ETU-Link's recommended Alcatel-Lucent OS6860E-48 switch optical module matching solution. For more optical module matching solutions, please refer to previous blog s.

What Can we do if no response when an optical module plugged into a switch NIC

  According to the customer's feedback, how should we analyze and solve the issue that the switch and optical module are incompatible or cannot be used? In this article, ETU-LINK proposes the following solutions to this issue. Optical fiber patch cord collocation problem If the optical module does not respond to being inserted into the network cord of the switch, check whether the optical fiber patch cord is compatible with the optical module. Single-mode optical modules need to be used with single-mode patch cord, while multi-mode optical modules need to be used with multi-mode patch cord. Single-mode optical fibers patch cord are yellow, and multi-mode optical fibers patch cord are orange, aqua, or violet. Compatibility issue If the fiber patch cord collocation is correct can not be used, it is necessary to consider whether the optical module is written into the compatibility code of the brand equipment, we can consult the manufacturer, if the device has been ...
