Huawei Optical Module Connector

Huawei optical modules primarily use LC (Lucent Connector) and MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connectors, depending on the module type. Connector Types by ModuleSFP, SFP+, eSFP, XFP, SFP28: These small form-factor modules typically use LC connectors, which are single-fiber connectors suitable for both single-mode and multi-mode fibers. QSFP+ and QSFP28: These quad small form-factor modules generally use MPO connectors, which support multiple fibers in a single connector for high-density, high-speed applications.

CF

P modules: Larger form-factor modules like CFP can also use MPO connectors for high-speed data transmission, particularly in 100GE applications.

Key Notes

Huawei S series switches and CE series devices support these connector types, but it is recommended to use Huawei-certified optical modules to ensure compatibility and reliable operation.

L

C connectors are widely used for 10G, 25G, and 40G links, while MPO connectors are preferred for 40G and 100G high-density links. Optical modules are hot-swappable, and the connector type determines the fiber cabling and patch panel requirements. In summary, when selecting a Huawei optical module, the connector type (LC or MPO) is determined by the module standard and intended data rate, with LC for smaller form factors and MPO for high-density, multi-fiber applications.
