Identifying Huawei Original Optical Modules

Specialty cable knowledge brief Published 18 Sep 2024

Prepared for preliminary research by the ZITHA SPECIALTY knowledge desk. Confirm fire performance, mechanical protection, loss budgets and installation requirements against current standards and product documentation.

Huawei optical modules can be identified by checking certification, module type, interface information, and operational parameters using Huawei switch commands and visual inspection.Huawei-Certified Module Verification

Huawei-certified optical modules are tested for quality, compatibility, and performance. They undergo checks for installation/removal, transmit/receive power, signal quality, fault tolerance, EMC, and environmental performance. Using non-certified modules can cause installation failures, interface conflicts, data bus errors, or damage to electronic components . To determine certification, you can visually inspect the module for Huawei branding or use switch commands to verify its status.

Reading Module Information on Huawei Switches

To check module details on Huawei switches, use the following commands:

  • Display interface information: display interface shows interface rate, module type, link status, and traffic statistics .
  • Display transceiver information: display transceiver [ interface interface-type interface-number | slot slot-id ] [ verbose ] provides detailed module data including optical power, wavelength, transmission distance, temperature, voltage, and current .
  • Interface overview: display interface brief lists all interfaces and their numbers for easier identification .
Common Huawei Optical Module Types

Huawei manufactures a range of optical modules for different speeds and applications:

  • Gigabit SFP Optical Module
  • 10 Gigabit SFP+ Optical Module
  • 40G QSFP+ Optical Module
  • 100G SFP Optical Module
  • 100G QSFP28 Optical Module QSFP DD modules typically consume 12–14 watts, but exact specifications should be checked in the datasheet .
Key Operational Parameters

When identifying and evaluating modules, consider:

  • Transmit power: Average optical power output, measured in W, mW, or dBm .
  • Extinction ratio: Ratio of optical power for signal 1 versus signal 0, indicating laser efficiency; typical minimum is 8.2–10 dB .
  • Wavelength and transmission distance: Critical for matching fiber type and network design .
  • Temperature, voltage, and current: Ensure module operates within safe limits .
Practical Tips
  • Always use certified modules to avoid network instability or hardware damage.
  • Verify module type and interface compatibility before installation.
  • Use switch commands to monitor real-time status and troubleshoot link issues.
  • Consult datasheets for exact specifications, especially for high-speed modules like QSFP28 or QSFP DD. By combining visual inspection, certification verification, and switch-based commands, you can accurately identify Huawei optical modules and ensure reliable network performance.
