About This Part
The Finisar FTL4E1QM1C is a high-performance QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) optical transceiver module, specifically engineered for 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) and Optical Transport Unit 3 (OTU3) applications. This multirate transceiver supports both 40GBASE-ER4 and OTU3 protocols, providing robust data transmission over extended distances up to 40 kilometers (25 miles) using single-mode fiber (SMF). It integrates four lanes of 10Gbps optical signals, which are multiplexed and demultiplexed for 40Gbps aggregate data rates. Operating over a CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) grid, typically utilizing wavelengths such as 1271nm, 1291nm, 1311nm, and 1331nm, the FTL4E1QM1C ensures efficient and reliable long-reach connectivity. Its QSFP+ form factor allows for high-density deployments in network equipment, making it a critical component for interconnecting switches, routers, and other data center or telecom infrastructure elements requiring substantial bandwidth over considerable spans. The Finisar FTL4E1QM1C transceiver is primarily deployed in demanding network environments where high-speed, long-distance connectivity is paramount. This includes large-scale data centers, enterprise networks, and metropolitan area networks (MANs) requiring 40GbE links between core switches, routers, and data storage arrays. Telecommunications service providers and internet exchange points (IXPs) leverage this module for inter-data center connectivity, backbone aggregation, and extending network reach within their infrastructure. It is compatible with a wide array of networking platforms that feature QSFP+ ports, offering a standardized solution for upgrading existing 10GbE infrastructure to 40GbE without extensive overhauls, or for establishing new high-bandwidth links. By enabling reliable 40km transmission, the Part Number FTL4E1QM1C effectively addresses the challenge of connecting geographically dispersed network nodes, eliminating the need for costly signal regeneration or intermediate amplification in many scenarios, thereby streamlining network architecture and reducing operational complexity. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing B2B clients with high-quality used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment, including the Finisar FTL4E1QM1C transceiver.
