Description
Product Overview
The 40G-QSFP-LM4 Brocade 40Gbps 40GBase-LM410km 1310nm LC QSFP+ Transceiver Module is a networking device that enables high-speed data transfer between different network devices. This module is commonly used in data centers, telecommunications, and other industries that require high-speed network connectivity. In this article, we will explore the features and specifications of this module in detail.
Features and Specifications
The 40G-QSFP-LM4 Brocade 40Gbps 40GBase-LM410km 1310nm LC QSFP+ Transceiver Module is designed to provide high-speed data transfer up to 40Gbps. This module uses a QSFP+ form factor, which stands for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable. This form factor enables the module to be hot-swappable, meaning it can be replaced or removed without powering down the network device.
The 40G-QSFP-LM4 Brocade module supports a 40GBase-LM4 Ethernet standard. The LM4 in the name stands for Long Reach Multimode 4, which means this module can transmit data over a distance of up to 10km. This makes it ideal for use in large data centers or other environments that require long-distance connectivity.
The module operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, which is a standard wavelength used in networking. This wavelength is used because it is not affected by attenuation, which is a loss of signal strength that can occur when data is transmitted over long distances. Additionally, the module uses an LC connector, which is a standard connector used in fiber optic networks.
The 40G-QSFP-LM4 Brocade module also supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM), which provides real-time monitoring of the module’s performance. This feature allows network administrators to detect and troubleshoot issues before they can cause network downtime.
Applications & Maintenance
The 40G-QSFP-LM4 Brocade 40Gbps 40GBase-LM410km 1310nm LC QSFP+ Transceiver Module has a wide range of applications in different industries. Some of the common applications include:
- Data Centers: This module is commonly used in data centers to provide high-speed connectivity between servers, switches, and other network devices.
- Telecommunications: Telecommunications companies use this module to connect different parts of their network, including cell towers and data centers.
- High-Performance Computing: This module is also used in high-performance computing environments, such as scientific research centers and universities, where high-speed data transfer is essential.
- Military and Aerospace: The 40G-QSFP-LM4 Brocade module is also used in military and aerospace applications, where high-speed data transfer is required for mission-critical operations.
Installing and maintaining the 40G-QSFP-LM4 Brocade module is relatively straightforward. To install the module, you simply need to insert it into the QSFP+ port on the network device. Once inserted, the module should be recognized by the network device, and you can begin using it to transfer data.
To maintain the module, it is essential to keep it clean and free from dust and debris. You can clean the module using a soft, lint-free cloth and a cleaning solution designed for fiber optic components. Additionally, it is recommended to monitor the module’s performance regularly using DDM and replace it if it shows signs of failure.
