BlueOptics© QSFP ER Transceiver from CBO

On Tuesday CBO, a manufacturer of network solutions for fiber and copper technology, published a new hot-pluggable QSFP transceivers capable of 40 Gigabit Extended Reach transmissions as part of the Blue Optics product line. The Transmission is made possible via G.652 single-mode fibers by Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) for Ethernet (40GBASE-ER) or OTN (OTU3 OC-768 or STM-256) applications. The QSFP ER4 Multirate transceiver supports data rates of 39.8 Gb/s to 41.3 Gb/s. Herewith CBO gives network administrators, system integrators and datacenter operators a pluggable solution for local area networks (whose data links exceed 10 kilometers) or also for wide area networks and metropolitan area networks with an insertion loss link budget of 18.5 dB, allowing the data transfers over a length of about 40 kilometers.

The transmission takes place via uncooled 4x10Gb/s CWDM DFB laser transmitter and APD receiver over the 1310nm band, designed for ambient temperatures of 0°C to 70°C (Commercial). The Blue Optics QSFP ER4 transceiver offers Digital Diagnostics functions with TX / RX power monitoring via an I2C interface, is considering 802.3bm the SFF-8436 MSA and IEEE 40GBASE-ER4 standards and is RoHS-6 compliant regarding 2011/65/EU. The module operates via an electric XLPPI interface requiring a 3.3V power supply with a low power consumption of less than 3.5 watts. The transceiver can be connected via LC Duplex connector.

The first modules have already been delivered to customers and were used in different hardware applications.
