APPLICATIONS
40GBASE-ER4 40G Ethernet
Finisar’s FTL4E1QE1C QSFP+ transceiver modules are designed for use in 40 Gigabit
Ethernet links over single mode fiber. They are compliant with the QSFP+ MSA1 and IEEE
802.3bm 40GBASE-ER42. Digital diagnostics functions are available via an I2C interface,
as specified by the QSFP+ MSA. The optical transceiver is compliant per the RoHS
Directive 2011/65/EU5. See Finisar Application Note AN-2038 for more details4.

1. Transmitter consists of 4 lasers operating at up to 10.3 Gb/s each, ± 100ppm
2. Minimum value is informative.
3. RIN is scaled by 10*log(10/4) to maintain SNR outside of transmitter.
4. Receiver consists of 4 photodetectors operating at up to 10.3125 Gb/s each, ± 100ppm
5. Minimum value is informative, equals min TxOMA with infinite ER and max channel insertion loss.
6. Maximum value is based on a min. of 9dB loss. Additional attenuation may be required when connected
in loopback or short fiber link.
