We are currently using standard OS2 single-mode fiber with duplex LC patch cords. Is any special physical adaptation required for the CWDM4 wavelengths?

No special adapters are needed! The module features an internal CWDM multiplexer that routes the four wavelengths (1271nm, 1291nm, 1311nm, 1331nm) through a standard Duplex LC interface. It perfectly matches your existing OS2 SMF cabling for instant, plug-and-play 40km transmission.

Will this 40GBASE-ER4 module interoperate seamlessly with our existing Cisco Nexus 9000 and Juniper QFX series switches? We run a mixed environment.

Absolutely. Our LQ-CW40-ER4C is strictly MSA compliant and undergoes rigorous OEM compatibility testing. It works flawlessly across mixed Cisco, Juniper, and Arista deployments without triggering any "unsupported transceiver" errors on your console.

Does this QSFP+ transceiver strictly adhere to the IEEE 802.3ba and OTN OTU3 standards for our carrier-grade infrastructure?

Yes, it is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-ER4 and OTN OTU3 protocols. Furthermore, it meets FDA/CDRH and IEC-60825 global standards for laser safety, making it completely certified for high-demand data center and carrier network integrations.

We are planning a massive metro network upgrade. Do you offer bulk purchase discounts if we procure 500+ units of this QSFP+ Transceivers?

Yes, we provide tiered B2B pricing for large-scale enterprise and telecom deployments. For batch orders exceeding 500 units, you will receive a significantly reduced unit cost. Please contact our sales engineering team directly for a customized quote.
