Applications
Network architects choose the 100G QSFP28 BX40 4x 25G NRZ 1304.58nm-TX/1309.14nm-RX 40km Simplex LC/UPC Module, Cisco for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks: it runs 106.25Gbps over SMF and reaches 40km@OS2. The Simplex LC/UPC interface and 1304.58nm-TX/1309.14nm-RX optics match the standard cabling plant used in modern data halls, so existing trunks can be reused. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs 4x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3bs, 100G Lambda MSA. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP28 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
Our part number for this module is QSFP-BX40-100G. When ordering, just let us know the quantity and whether you need the compatibility coding for a particular switch brand; labeling and packaging can also follow your channel requirements.
Packaging Options
Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.
OEM and Custom Orders
We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight forwarder.
Quality and Testing
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
