Fiber optic splice closure knowledge brief Published 19 Mar 2022

Prepared for preliminary research by the RIVO OPTICAL knowledge desk. Confirm cable count, splice capacity, sealing class, tray layout, protection sleeves and installation requirements against current standards and product documentation.

Huawei supports a wide range of optical modules, including SFP, SFP+, SFP28, XFP, QSFP+, QSFP28, and CFP, compatible with its switches, routers, and data center devices.Supported Module Types and Form Factors

Huawei optical modules are designed for electrical-to-optical conversion in fiber optic networks and come in various form factors to meet different transmission requirements :

  • SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable): Supports Gigabit Ethernet with LC fiber connectors.
  • eSFP (Enhanced SFP): Monitors voltage, temperature, bias current, and optical power.
  • SFP+: High-speed 10G transmission.
  • SFP28: Supports 25G transmission, same interface size as SFP+.
  • XFP: 10G transmission, wider and longer than SFP+.
  • QSFP+ (Quad SFP): Supports 40G transmission with MPO fiber connectors.
  • QSFP28: Supports 100G transmission or 40G QSFP+ modules.
  • CFP (Centum Form-Factor Pluggable): Used for high-speed data communication, larger dimensions for 100G+ applications. All Huawei optical modules are hot-swappable, allowing easy installation and replacement without powering down devices .
Transmission Rates and Applications

Huawei modules cover a wide range of transmission rates from Gigabit Ethernet (GE) to 800GE, suitable for:

  • Data centers
  • Enterprise networks
  • 5G fronthaul scenarios
  • Metropolitan area networks High-end modules, such as QSFP DD and 800GE modules, provide ultra-long transmission, high reliability, and secure operation, ensuring stable and resilient network performance .
Device Compatibility

Huawei optical modules are compatible with Huawei S series switches, including:

  • S6720S series: Supports 10G SFP+, 40G QSFP+, and 25G DWDM SFP28 modules for 5G fronthaul .
  • Other Huawei switches and routers: Support CFP, QSFP+, QSFP28, XFP, SFP, eSFP, and SFP+ modules depending on the interface and transmission rate . Additionally, Huawei modules are often compatible with third-party optical modules from brands like ETU-LINK, Cisco, Juniper, and H3C, provided they meet the required specifications and pass compatibility testing .
Key Features
  • Plug-and-play flexibility for various interfaces.
  • Monitoring capabilities in eSFP modules for voltage, temperature, and optical power.
  • High reliability and security for data center interconnectivity.
  • Wide coverage from 1G to 800G transmission rates . Huawei optical modules provide a comprehensive solution for modern networking needs, ensuring compatibility across multiple devices and high-performance network environments.
