With the continuous upgrade and development of the network, the sales of optical modules are constantly rising, and various types of optical modules are emerging in an endless stream. Today, I will introduce the connection scheme of conventional 10G SFP+ optical modules.
10G SFP+ optical module direct connection solution
①10G SFP+ SR optical module direct connection: two modules are connected through the multi-mode optical fiber of the LC interface, which is suitable for short-distance transmission within 300m;
②10G SFP+ LR optical module direct connection: The two modules are connected through the single-mode optical fiber of the LC interface, which is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission within 300m to 10km;
③10G SFP+ ER optical module direct connection: The two modules are connected through the single-mode optical fiber of the LC interface, which is suitable for transmission from 10km to 40km;
④ 10G SFP+ ZR optical module direct connection: Two modules are connected through a single-mode optical fiber with an LC interface, which is suitable for long-distance transmission over 40km, and is currently the solution with the longest transmission distance of 10 Gigabit optical modules.
10G optical module connection scheme
10G SFP + optical module and 40G QSFP + optical module connection:
①The simplest SFP+ and QSFP+ connection scheme nowadays is to use a one-to-four jumper, one side is an MPO interface, the other four are LC interfaces, the MPO interface is connected to the QSFP+ module, and the LC interface is connected to the SFP+ module, without any equipment The transmission can be carried out, which saves equipment and space resources. The disadvantage is that the jumper has to be replaced if one part is damaged;
②There is also a combination of 4 SFP+ optical modules and 1 QSFP+ optical module using an optical fiber distribution box, and MTP-LC fiber jumpers are used between the optical fiber distribution box and the QSFP+ optical module. The optical fiber distribution box and SFP+ optical module are completed by LC duplex jumpers. This solution can be easily maintained, and once one of the jumpers is damaged, it can be replaced, saving jumper resources.
10G optical module connection scheme
The mainstream 10G SFP+ optical module connection solutions are 10G SFP+ direct connection and 10G SFP+ and 40G QSFP+ interconnection. The above content includes the classification of these two major solutions.
