TYPES OF TRANSCEIVERS
1GbE is Ethernet that transmits one gigabit per second in a data center environment.
GBIC, GLC, SFP
10GbE transmits 10 gigabits per second in a data center environment—acting as an incredibly fast backbone, connecting devices, and improving network performance.
XENPAK, X2, XFP, SFP+
25GbE transmits 25 gigabits per second. Since it is an even division of 100 Gigabit Ethernet, migrating from one to another is more economical compared to, for instance, moving from 40 GbE to 100 GbE, since you can simply use four streams.
SFP-25G
40GbE transmits 40 gigabits per second in a data center environment.
QSFP
100 GbE transmits 100 gigabits per second in a data center environment.
QSFP28
400 GbE transmits 400 gigabits per second in a data center environment.
QDD
A multiplexer will combine and retransmit signals coming from transceivers.
CWDM, DWDM
Optical cables carry light signals, usually in close proximity from sender to receiver. Most often found in older systems, optical cables are used to send sound and audio signals from device to device.
SFP+, QSFP
Why Curvature?
Most data centers and enterprise networks operate with IT infrastructure from multiple OEMs. When it’s time to refresh or upgrade, having an industry-leading supplier like Curvature gives you a distinct advantage.
In addition, when an asset reaches End of Life (EOL), End of Service Life (EOSL), or End of Sale (EOS), you still need reliable equipment to keep your data center running. Curvature sources hardware long after OEMs stop manufacturing or servicing these parts.
Business Benefits
The benefits of optimizing your enterprise and data center networks with equipment from Curvature cannot be overstated:
