For enterprises with high demand for network bandwidth, such as finance and high-frequency trading, as the business expands, the surge in concurrent network traffic will inevitably lead to network congestion and have a great impact on the business, so bandwidth upgrades are inevitable. Whether it is upgrading from 10G to 25G, or upgrading directly to 100G in one step, it can solve the current network bottleneck. However, traditional single-rate optical modules (such as only supporting 10G or only supporting 25G) often find it difficult to balance the contradictions between cost, compatibility and future upgrade needs. In this context, 10G/25G dual-rate optical modules have become a key component for smooth 10G-25G upgrades of enterprise networks by supporting two rates.
The package of dual-rate optical module is SFP28, the same as 25G optical module, but the difference from conventional 25G optical module is that it can support both 10Gbps and 25Gbps transmission rates, and can automatically switch the rate mode according to the configuration of network equipment. It has a wide range of applications, and its core features include:
Hardware compatibility: The same module can adapt to 10G and 25G switch ports, transmit 10G rate on 10G port, and transmit 25G rate on 25G port.
Wide applicability: 10G/25G dual-rate optical module can be connected with conventional 10G module to transmit 10G rate, and can also be connected with 25G conventional module to transmit 25G rate. No configuration is required in the middle, and automatic lossless adaptation is achieved.
Flexible deployment: No need to replace optical module, the rate can be automatically switched through software configuration or port replacement, reducing the complexity of operation and maintenance.
When enterprises transition from 10G to 25G, in order to save hardware costs, most will choose to upgrade and replace gradually, and some old links will be retained, so the network will transmit both 10G and 25G rates. If a single rate module is used, when the old link is upgraded, the optical module and switch port need to be replaced at the same time, resulting in a waste of resources and a surge in costs. The backward compatibility of the 10G/25G dual-rate module allows enterprises to upgrade in stages:
Initial stage: deploy dual-rate modules on existing 10G switches and old network links, and continue to use 10G links to transmit services
Later stage: gradually upgrade the switch to 25G, the dual-rate module can be seamlessly switched on the 25G switch, and transmit 25G rate. Only the switch needs to be replaced, and no optical module needs to be replaced.
For network operation and maintenance, sufficient spare parts are necessary, which can be replaced as soon as a network failure occurs to reduce the losses caused by business interruption, but spare parts will occupy funds. The more modules with different rates, the more spare parts there will be. At the same time, modules with different rates need to be independently prepared and classified, which is easy to cause confusion in operation and maintenance. 10G/25G dual-rate optical modules support both rates, so only one type of module is needed to meet the spare parts requirements of 10G and 25G, reducing financial pressure and facilitating operation and maintenance management.
After the network upgrade, many companies' 10G switches are still in their service life and have not reached the scrap standard. Direct elimination and scrapping will cause a waste of resources. Dual-rate modules allow old equipment to coexist with new 25G equipment, extending the service life of old equipment and saving costs.
Each brand of switch may have its own compatibility requirements. When selecting, ensure that the module is compatible with the target switch and can be used normally. You can verify it by checking the manufacturer's certification list or test samples.
When using multi-mode, the 25G rate attenuation is higher than that of 10G rate, resulting in a shorter transmission distance of only 100 meters when the multi-mode 10G/25G dual-rate module runs at 25G rate. It should be noted that the single-mode module has low attenuation and the transmission distance will not be shortened when running at 25G rate.
The power consumption of the 25G module is higher than that of the 10G module. Similarly, the power consumption of the 10G/25G dual-rate module will also be higher. The original 10G rate heat dissipation layout may not meet the heat dissipation requirements of the dual-rate module, affecting the normal operation of the module. This needs to be considered when planning network upgrades.
