40G / 25G / 1.25G Transceivers

40G, 25G and 1.25G transceivers

Three rate families share this page, because no representative model page is evidenced for them in the sampled material: 40G QSFP+ with 67 sitemap locations, 25G SFP28 with 118, and 1.25G SFP with 14. Each family is described below in general terms, and no model page is published for them, because a model page without an evidenced description would invent a product page rather than present one.

40G QSFP+ transceivers

40G QSFP+ transceivers carry 40 gigabits per second over fiber, for data centres and enterprise networks where 10G is no longer enough but 100G is not yet needed. They sit between the 10G and 100G families, and they suit links that must carry four 10G streams in one module. A buyer who needs 40G should ask for the model, the reach, the fiber type, and the connector in the inquiry, naming the exact model, because this page states no model and no specification for this family.

25G SFP28 transceivers

25G SFP28 transceivers carry 25 gigabits per second over fiber, for data centres where 25G is the server-connection rate, and where a 100G switch can fan out to four 25G server links. They suit server and storage connections, where the rate matches the server's network port, and where a higher rate would waste capacity. A buyer who needs 25G should ask for the model, the reach, the fiber type, and the connector in the inquiry, naming the exact model.

1.25G SFP transceiver modules

1.25G SFP transceiver modules carry gigabit-class traffic over fiber, for access networks, industrial networks, and campus links where gigabit speed is enough and where cost and simplicity matter more than speed. They suit links where the equipment is gigabit-class, and where a faster module would not improve the link, because the equipment itself limits the rate. A buyer who needs 1.25G should ask for the model, the reach, the fiber type, and the connector in the inquiry, naming the exact model.

What to confirm before ordering

Name the family, the rate, the equipment it must serve, the quantity you have in mind, and the market you sell into. Ask for the model, the specification for the exact model, the minimum order quantity, the lead time with its meaning, the warranty terms, the payment and shipping terms, and the certificates that apply to your market, by name, with documents attached. No model page for these families is published, so the inquiry is the route to a model: it must name the family and the rate, or the reply cannot be specific.

Before payment, confirm the minimum order quantity, lead time, payment, shipping and warranty terms for your order. Certificates are available upon request.
