Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ transceiver used for?
A 40GBASE-DWDM QSFP+ transceiver is used for high-speed, long-distance data transmission in enterprise networks. It enables 40 Gbps connectivity over single-mode fiber up to 80km, making it ideal for data center interconnects, campus networks, and metropolitan area network (MAN) deployments where extended reach and high bandwidth are required.
How far can this QSFP+ transceiver transmit data?
This Axiom transceiver supports transmission distances up to 80km over single-mode fiber, significantly extending network reach compared to shorter-distance transceivers. This extended range makes it suitable for connecting geographically dispersed facilities while maintaining 40 Gbps throughput.
Is the Axiom QSFP+ transceiver compatible with my network equipment?
Yes, this transceiver features full MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compatibility, ensuring it works with a wide range of OEM networking platforms and switches from major vendors. MSA compliance eliminates vendor lock-in and provides flexibility in network architecture design.
What does the 1547.72nm wavelength mean?
The 1547.72nm wavelength is a specific DWDM channel within the C-band spectrum. This wavelength allows multiple transceivers to operate simultaneously on the same fiber using dense wavelength division multiplexing, maximizing fiber utilization and network capacity without requiring additional physical fiber infrastructure.
