40G QSFP+ ER4 40 km
Ascent QSFP+ ER4 is designed to operate over single-mode fiber system using 4 × 10 CWDM channels in 1310 band and links up to 40 km. The module converts 4 inputs channel of 10 Gb/s electrical data to 4 CWDM optical signals, and multiplexes them into a single channel for 40 Gb/s optical transmission. On the receiver side, the module optically de-multiplexes a 40 Gb/s input into 4 CWDM channels signals, and converts them to 4 output channels of electrical data.
• 4 CWDM lanes Mux/Demux design
• Up to 11.1 Gbps Data rate per wavelength
• Up to 10 km transmission on SMF
• Electrically hot-pluggable
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface
• Compliant with QSFP+ MSA with LC connector
• Case operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C
• Power dissipation < 3.5 W
