40G Ethernet is very common in data centers nowadays. With the rise of
40GbE QSFP+ optical module market, more solutions can be applied, users also have more choices. Let’s take a deep understanding of the interconnection solutions of 40G optical networks.
In data centers,
optical modules are generally used to connect switches and servers for data exchange and transmission. For the interconnection between 40G and 40G, there are 3 options for Network communication project providers.
Solution 1: 40G QSFP+ module + patch cord + 40G QSFP+ module
The common use of DAC is passive copper, 40G QSFP+ DAC is the one. For the cheaper price and higher transmission speed of passive copper cable, it becomes the best service solution of realizing the short distance transmission.
Most customers will focus on the cost when purchase products. Which is the best solution to save money for customers?
※ If the interconnection distance between the two devices is less than 7m, proposed solutions 2. It can control the cost of the hardware well and bring you a huge profit space. One set just takes between 350RMB to 500RMB.
※ If the network space is more than 10m within 200m, proposed solutions 3. It is suitable for long distance interconnection, the price is about 1000RMB.
※ If the customer is considering the replacement of the product, can choose solutions 1, one set takes about 1300RMB.
Everything has two sides, both advantages and disadvantages. Although the solutions 2 and 3 are relatively cost-effective compared with solutions 1, there are certain risks.
If one side of 40G DAC or 40G AOC was broken, then it will be unworkable. For solutions 1, if some part was broken, replace the broken part can also continue to use.
