In the field of optical communications, the compatibility of optical modules is one of the core considerations for users to choose third-party products. As a leading domestic optical module manufacturer, ETU-LINK has adapted its optical module products to mainstream global network equipment brands by virtue of strict quality control and extensive compatibility testing. The following analyzes the compatibility advantages of ETU-LINK optical modules from three aspects: brand coverage, testing process, and typical cases.

1. Comprehensive Coverage of Mainstream Brands and Adaptation to Diverse Scenarios

ETU-LINK optical modules are compatible with major brands such as Huawei, H3C, Ruijie, Cisco, Juniper, ZTE, HP, Arista, Aruba, Alcatel-Lucent, VOLKTEK, etc., covering multiple application scenarios including data centers, enterprise networks, 5G base stations, and metropolitan area networks.

Huawei: Supports S6720S series switches (such as 10G SFP+, 40G QSFP+ modules) and 25G DWDM SFP28 modules for 5G fronthaul scenarios.

Cisco: Adapts to 2900, 4000, 5000, and 9000 series switches, and is compatible with 10G to 400G full-rate optical modules.

Juniper: Such as EX4200 series switches, supporting 1G / 10G; QFX5200 40G/100G modules for flexible networking.

Aruba and Alcatel-Lucent: Provide a full range of compatible solutions from 1G to 10G for models such as Aruba 2930F and Alcatel-Lucent OS6860E-48.

2. Strict Testing Process to Ensure 100% Compatibility

To ensure seamless connection between optical modules and devices, ETU-Link has invested a lot of resources to build a multi-brand switch verification laboratory. The testing process includes:

Equipment coverage: Purchase switches from brands such as Huawei, Cisco, H3C, and Aruba to simulate real deployment environments.

Protocol adaptation: Support Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, OTN and other protocols to meet the needs of different network architectures.

Full-link test: Through optical interface matching, signal stability, temperature and pressure testing, etc., the module is ensured to operate stably in extreme environments such as high temperature and high humidity.

Certification Qualifications: The product has passed ISO9001; ISO14001 ; ISO45001 three-system certification and CE, ROHS, FCC and other international standards to ensure compliance.

3. Typical Case: Compatibility Solution Demonstration

Huawei S6720S Series Switches

Recommended modules: 10G SFP+ LR, 40G QSFP+ SR4/LR4 (supporting 10km single-mode transmission).

Advantages: Supports PoE power supply and cluster switching, suitable for high-density data center deployment.

Aruba 2930F Switch

Matching modules: 1G multi-mode, 10G single-mode, etc., with transmission distances ranging from 550 meters to 80 kilometers.

5G fronthaul scenario

25G BIDI ZR module: single-fiber bidirectional transmission, saving optical fiber resources, compatible with Huawei and ZTE base station equipment, and supports 80km ultra-long-distance networking.

4. Technical Advantages Behind Compatibility

1). Flexible Packaging Design: supports mainstream packaging such as SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, etc., to adapt to different port density requirements.

2). Wavelength Division Multiplexing Technology: such as BIDI single-fiber module (1490/1550nm wavelength pairing), DWDM/CWDM color optical module, to optimize optical fiber utilization.

3). Low Power Consumption and High Performance: 100G BIDI ZR4 module power consumption < 5.5 W, 100G O - Band DWDM module power consumption < 3.5 W, meeting the needs of green data centers.

Conclusion

High cost-effectiveness, full brand compatibility, and strict quality control as its core competitiveness, ETU-LINK provides global users with full-scenario optical module solutions from 1G to 400G. Whether it is enterprise-level network upgrades or ultra-large-scale data center construction, ETU-LINK products can achieve "plug and play" and reduce users' total cost of ownership (TCO).
