40G networks are already common in most data centers, and optical modules are one of the essential components of data center equipment interconnection. So how much do you know about 40G QSFP+ optical modules? What kinds of interfaces dose 40G QSFP+ optical modules have? How to choose the type of patch cord that matches it? If you want to know the answer, please follow the steps of ETU-Link to find out the truth!

40G QSFP+ optical module has two main interfaces: LC and MTP/MPO, which are used in single-mode application and multi-mode application respectively.

LC interface: LC interface is connected with LC fiber optic connector, which can improve the density of fiber optic connector in the system.

MPO/MTP interface: the MPO/MTP interface is connected with the MPO/MTP fiber optic connector, which has better transmission performance, lower loss and higher fibrillation.

The 40G optical module package is divided into CFP, CFP2, CFP4, and QSFP+, which are mainly used for backbone network transmission. Among them, QSFP+ optical modules are widely used. The following table shows the types of patch cord used in 40G QSFP+ optical modules.

The above is how to choose the right patch cord for 40G QSFP+ optical module. If you want to know more about information of optical communication industry , welcome to our official website: www.etulinktechnology.com
