About This Part
The Brocade Part Number 57-1000263-01 is a high-performance 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) optical transceiver, belonging to Brocade's extensive line of networking components. This module utilizes the Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) form factor, a widely adopted standard for high-density, high-speed data communication applications. Its primary function is to enable robust and reliable data transmission over single-mode fiber optic cables, facilitating critical connections within data centers and enterprise networks. Key technical specifications include a data rate of 40 Gbps, adhering to the 40GBASE-LR4 standard, which supports a reach of up to 10 kilometers. The LR4 designation indicates the use of four LAN WDM (LWDM) optical lanes, each operating at 10 Gbps over different wavelengths multiplexed onto a single-mode fiber pair, typically utilizing a duplex LC connector for optical interfacing. This design ensures efficient and high-bandwidth connectivity for demanding network environments. This Brocade 40GbE QSFP+ transceiver is engineered for deployment in high-density network environments where reliable, long-reach 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is paramount. It is typically installed in compatible network switches, routers, and server network interface cards (NICs) that feature QSFP+ ports. Supporting a broad range of network platforms, including Brocade's own switching and routing solutions, as well as other industry-standard equipment, the 57-1000263-01 is crucial for building robust data center interconnects (DCIs), campus networks, and metropolitan area networks (MANs). Telecom operators, cloud service providers, and large-scale enterprises leverage this module to overcome bandwidth bottlenecks and extend high-speed links between geographically dispersed facilities or within large data center complexes. It serves as an essential component for upgrading existing 10GbE infrastructures to 40GbE, providing the necessary capacity for modern applications, virtualization, and increased data traffic demands.
