Price List for Bestselling Optical Transmitters for Data Center Interconnection

Fiber and communications infrastructure knowledge brief Published 24 Aug 2020

Prepared for preliminary research by the ALFA PRO knowledge desk. Confirm optical interfaces, port or core capacity, electrical input and output, enclosure protection, thermal design and installation limits against current standards and product documentation.

Bestselling optical transmitters for data centers range from 10G SFP+ modules to 800G QSFP-DD and OSFP modules, with pricing typically varying by speed, reach, and vendor. Popular Optical Transceiver TypesSFP+ (10GBASE-SR/LR) – Common for top-of-rack (TOR) switches and short- to medium-range connections. Ideal for 10G Ethernet links in enterprise and cloud data centers.

SFP28 (25GBASE-SR/LR) – Supports 25G Ethernet, often used in server uplinks and aggregation layers. QSFP+ (40GBASE-SR4/LR4) – High-density 40G modules for aggregation and spine-leaf architectures. QSFP28 (100GBASE-SR4/LR4/CWDM4) – Widely used for 100G Ethernet, supporting both short-range (SR4) and long-range (LR4) deployments.

QSFP-DD & OSFP (200G/400G/800G) – Cutting-edge modules for hyperscale data centers, AI workloads, and 5G infrastructure, offering high bandwidth and energy efficiency.

DWD

M SFP+ and BiDi SFP – Specialized modules for dense wavelength division multiplexing and single-fiber bidirectional links.

Key Vendors and Market Leaders

Coherent Corp., Lumentum, Huawei, HUBER+SUHNER, Cube Optics AG – Leading manufacturers focusing on high-speed, energy-efficient, and compact transceivers for data center and telecom applications. FS.com – Offers a wide range of transceivers from 1G to 800G, tested for interoperability with 200+ switches, and provides global supply and support.

Inno

Light, Eoptolink, Link-Pp – Known for high-performance 400G/800G modules, optimized for AI and hyperscale data center networks.

Pricing Considerations

While exact prices fluctuate based on vendor, volume, and region, general trends include: 10G SFP+ modules: Typically range from $50–$150 per unit for standard SR/LR modules. 25G SFP28 modules: Around $100–$250 per unit, depending on reach and brand. 40G QSFP+ modules: Approximately $200–$400 per unit.

100G QSFP28 modules: Usually $400–$1,200 per unit, with CWDM4 and LR4 variants at the higher end. 200G–800G QSFP-DD/OSFP modules: Premium pricing, often $1,500–$5,000+ per unit, reflecting high-speed performance, thermal management, and AI/data center optimization.

Additional Notes

Transmission distance: Single-mode fiber supports long distances (up to 20 km), while multi-mode fiber is suitable for shorter links (up to 2 km) in LAN or TOR deployments. Compatibility: Ensure modules are compatible with existing switches and network equipment; many vendors provide compatibility tools and lab-tested interoperability. Future-proofing: For AI-driven or hyperscale data centers, consider modular, low-power, and multi-vendor compatible transceivers to support network scaling and 400G/800G upgrades.

For exact pricing and bulk orders, it is recommended to contact vendors directly or use B2B platforms like FS.com, Alibaba, or Link-Pp, as prices vary with volume, region, and module specifications.
