Optimized, Certified Optical Transceivers for the Highest-Performance Data Center Fabrics Today''s enterprise data centers are undergoing an infrastructure transformation, requiring higher speeds, greater scalability, and higher levels of performance and reliability to better meet the demands of business. As speed and performance needs increase, optical transceivers-once considered a generic component of Fibre Channel switching technologies-have become an integral part of overall system design. However, optical transceiver design margins and parameters vary widely, and can be the difference between an optimized, highly reliable fabric and incompatibility issues that drive up support costs.The Brocade® 4×32 GFC (2 Km) Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP28), part of the Brocade family of optical transceivers, are optimized to fully leverage Brocade Gen 6 backbone and switch products. Together, these optical transceivers provide state-of-the-art performance, helping IT organizations achieve new levels of infrastructure consolidation while expanding the capabilities of their applications and services.End-to-End Compatibility and Reliability The Brocade 4×32 GFC (2 Km) QSFP28 modules support highly reliable operations in data center fabrics and are optimized for Brocade 128 GFC switching platforms. They undergo rigorous qualification and certification testing that results in an endto-end solution that is easier to maintain- helping to improve the availability of data center fabrics supporting mission-critical applications.Key Features The Brocade 4×32 GFC (2 Km) QSFP28 modules are hot-swappable, lowvoltage (3.3 V) digital diagnostic optical transceivers that support high-speed serial links over single mode optical fiber at signaling rates up to 4×28.05 Gbps. They comply with the 128 GFC Fibre Channel standard (FC-PI-6P) and QSFP MSA mechanical specification (SFF-8661).The Brocade 4×32 GFC (2 Km) QSFP28 modules are multi-rated CWDM4 QSFP28s that comply with 28.025 Gbps Fibre Channel specifications.Product highlights include: 4 CWDM wavelengths (1271 nm, 1291 nm, 1311 nm, 1331 nm) driven by an EML laser Diagnostic features per SFF-8472 "Diagnostic Monitoring Interface for Optical Transceivers," providing real-time monitoring of: Transmitted optical power Received optical power Laser bias current Temperature Supply voltage Industry-standard duplex LC connector 2 km link length on duplex singlemode fiber IEC 60825-1 Class 1/CDRH Class 1 laser, eye-safe Compliance with Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive Family of Optical TransceiversBrocade offers a comprehensive family of reliable optical transceivers to provide highly compatible, high-performance connectivity to Brocade backbone, director, and switch products.
