QSFP ER4 Optical Transceiver 40G 40KM
Short Description:
QSFP ER4 Optical Transceiver is a transceiver module designed for 40km optical communication applications. The design is compliant to 40GBASE-ER4 of the IEEE P802.3ba standard. The module converts 4 inputs channels (ch) of 10Gb/s electrical data to 4 CWDM optical signals, and multiplexes them into a single channel for 40Gb/s optical transmission. Reversely, on the receiver side, the module optically de-multiplexes a 40Gb/s input into 4 CWDM channels signals, and converts them to 4 channel output electrical data. The central wavelengths of the 4 CWDM channels are 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm as members of the CWDM wavelength grid…Description

Description
QSFP ER4 Optical Transceiver is a transceiver module designed for 40km optical communication applications. The design is compliant to 40GBASE-ER4 of the IEEE P802.3ba standard. The module converts 4 inputs channels (ch) of 10Gb/s electrical data to 4 CWDM optical signals, and multiplexes them into a single channel for 40Gb/s optical transmission. Reversely, on the receiver side, the module optically de-multiplexes a 40Gb/s input into 4 CWDM channels signals, and converts them to 4 channel output electrical data.
The central wavelengths of the 4 CWDM channels are 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm as members of the CWDM wavelength grid defined in ITU-T G694.2. It contains a duplex LC connector for the optical interface and a 148-pin connector for the electrical interface. To minimize the optical dispersion in the long-haul system, single-mode fiber (SMF) has to be applied in this module.
The product is designed with form factor, optical/electrical connection and digital diagnostic interface according to the QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). It has been designed to meet the harshest external operating conditions including temperature, humidity and EMI interference.

2.. Average launch power, each lane (min) is informative for 40GBase-ER4, not the principal indicator of signal strength.
3.The receiver shall be able to tolerate , without damage, continuous exposure to anoptical input signal having this average power level
- 4. The average receive power , each lane (max) for 40GBASE-ER4 is larger than the40GBASE-LR4 transmitter value to allow compatibility with 40GBASE-LR4 units at shortdistances
- 5. Average receive power, each lane (min) is informative and not the principal indicatorof signal strength. A received power below this value cannot be compliant; however, a valueabove this does not ensure compliance
- 6. Receiver sensitivity (OMA), each lane (max) is informative
- 7. Measured with conformance test signal at TP3 for BER=10-12
- 8. conditions of stressed receiver sensitivity test: vertical eye closure penalty for eachlane is 1.8dB;stressed eye J2 jitter for each lane is 0.3UI; stressed eye J9 jitter for each laneis 0.47UI.
