Features and Benefits


Introducing 400G OpenZR+ QSFP-DD Pluggable Optical Module

Supporting the OpenZR+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), the new 400G OpenZR+ QSFP-DD Optical Module from Molex provides a high level of performance and scalability for next-gen data centers while reducing power and helping to mitigate cost, all within a small form factor.

This innovative solution enables more simplified and reliable edge and data center networks aligned with a standards-based ecosystem and can help eliminate separate full-function optical transceiver boxes, reducing costs and complexity in data architecture and design.

With an unprecedented need for bandwidth driven by the major adoption of streaming video, social networking and related applications leveraging cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI), the 400G QSFP-DD Optical Module provides a highly effective solution and enables a seamless path to future data center expansion.
