Description
Fortinet FN-TRAN-QSFP+ER 40G Optical Transceiver Module
Overview
The Fortinet FN-TRAN-QSFP+ER is a 40G QSFP+ Extended Reach (ER) optical transceiver designed for long-range data transmission up to 40km over single-mode fibre (SMF). This high-performance module is ideal for enterprise networks, service provider infrastructure, and data centre interconnects, providing reliable, high-speed connectivity with low latency.
Built for Fortinet switches, routers, and security appliances, the FN-TRAN-QSFP+ER ensures seamless integration, high efficiency, and robust network performance. With its QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) interface, this transceiver enables cost-effective 40G deployments while maintaining energy efficiency.
Key Features & Benefits
High-Performance 40G Connectivity
Supports 40 Gbps data transmission over single-mode fibre (SMF).
Uses QSFP+ interface, ensuring high-speed data transfer with minimal power consumption.
Provides low-latency, high-bandwidth communication, essential for enterprise and cloud networks.
Extended Reach for Long-Distance Networking
Supports long-range connectivity up to 40km.
Ideal for data centre interconnects, metro networks, and large-scale enterprise environments.
Uses LWDM (LAN Wavelength Division Multiplexing) to optimise spectral efficiency and maximise bandwidth.
Cost-Effective & Energy Efficient
Low power consumption (<3.5W) compared to legacy networking solutions.
Reduces the need for additional repeaters or signal boosters, lowering operational costs.
Helps enterprises scale their networks without excessive infrastructure investments.
Fortinet Compatibility & Reliability
Fully compatible with Fortinet networking hardware.
Rigorously tested to meet Fortinet's reliability, security, and performance standards.
Ensures seamless integration into existing network environments without complex reconfiguration.
Use Case Scenario: Data Centre Interconnection
A large multinational corporation operates multiple data centres in different cities and requires high-speed, long-distance connectivity to synchronise mission-critical applications and databases. Their existing 10G links no longer provide the required bandwidth, leading to performance bottlenecks.
By deploying Fortinet FN-TRAN-QSFP+ER modules, the company establishes 40G connections over existing single-mode fibre infrastructure, improving data replication speeds, reducing latency, and enhancing disaster recovery capabilities. This solution enables the firm to future-proof its network while minimising upgrade costs.
