100G 40km Modules

Key Specifications:

  • Data Rate: 100 Gbps (QSFP28)
  • Wavelength Options: OWDM (O-band 1295–1311 nm), ER4L, 4W40, BiDi
  • Maximum Reach: 40 km without amplifiers or dispersion compensation
  • Power Consumption: 4.5–5.5 W depending on module type
  • Monitoring: Advanced DOM with FEC support for error correction and link stability
  • Applications: DCI, metro networks, telecom backbone, high-bandwidth multi-channel scenarios

Summary

40km optical modules are optimized for long-distance, high-speed transmission over single-mode fiber. 10G SFP+ modules are ideal for extended-reach Ethernet and storage networks, while 40G and 100G QSFP/QSFP28 modules support higher bandwidth and multi-channel applications. Key considerations include wavelength, optical link budget, connector type, monitoring capabilities, and power consumption, ensuring compatibility with network devices and deployment environments. These modules are widely used in enterprise backbones, metro networks, data center interconnects, and telecom infrastructure.
