WHITE PAPER
As data rates increase from 40G to 100G and beyond to 400G, there is a strong desire for data
centers to move to single-mode fiber for cost effectiveness. Due to the limitations of multimode
transceivers to support existing distances with ever increasing data rates, migrating to 100G and
400G in the future will be simpler with single-mode fiber. However, the single-mode transceivers
typically cost up to 4 times more compared to multimode transceivers. As SMF&MMF QSFP+
interoperates with 10km QSFP-LR4 optics, it s a cost effective solution for SM fiber infrastructure for
distances up to 500 m.
Simplify the Data Centers with a Mix of MMF and SMF Deployments
The SMF&MMF 40G QSFP+ transceiver offers the unique advantage of operating on both
multimode and single-mode fiber without any requirement for additional hardware or software.
Customers can consolidate their optics and use SMF&MMF QSFP +in their network irrespective of
the fiber type, which makes full use of the existing cabling systems, reduces the cost of deployment
and of support, and simplify purchasing and deployments.
Conclusion
The SMF&MMF 40G QSFP+ transceiver enables data centers running at 10G today to seamlessly
upgrade to 40G without having to re-design or modify the cable infrastructure, which allows
organizations to migrate their existing 10G infrastructure to 40G at zero cost of fiber and to expand
the infrastructure with low capital investment. It also offers a transition path for customer planning
migrations to single-mode fiber in data centers with a single transceiver that bridges the gap
between multi-mode and single-mode optics. With high-density 40G switches on hand, Fiberstore
SMF&MMF 40G QSFP+ transceiver provides a cost-effective solution for migrating to
next-generation 40G data center deployments.
