Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the maximum transmission distance for a 40G LR4 module?
A1: The 40G LR4 transceiver is designed for long-reach applications and can support transmission distances up to 10km over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF).
Q2: What type of fiber cable and connector are required?
A2: It requires Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) and uses standard duplex LC connectors for connectivity.
Q3: How does CWDM technology work in this QSFP+ module?
A3: It uses Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) to combine four 10G channels onto four different wavelengths (1271, 1291, 1311, and 1331 nm) to travel over a single pair of fibers.
Q4: Does this module support real-time monitoring?
A4: Yes, it features Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM), allowing administrators to monitor parameters like temperature, voltage, and optical power.
Q5: Is the 40G QSFP+ LR4 module hot-pluggable?
A5: Yes, the module is electrically hot-pluggable, meaning it can be inserted or removed without powering down the network device.
