J9996A Use Case
High-Density Spine-Leaf Uplink Aggregation in Hyperscale Data Centers
In a hyperscale cloud provider environment, network architects deploy the J9996A-2P 40GbE QSFP+ V3 ZL2 MOD PL=35 on leaf switches to aggregate four 10GbE host uplinks into a single 40GbE spine link across 35 km of single-mode fiber. This module reduces cable bulk, cuts port count by 75 %, and delivers sub-2 µs latency for east-west traffic. Benefit: Maximizes rack density, lowers operational costs by 30 %, and future-proofs the fabric for burst-intensive workloads.
Low-Latency AI/ML GPU Cluster Interconnect
In an AI research lab, IT teams integrate the J9996A-2P QSFP+ V3 ZL2 MOD PL=35 into NVIDIA GPU compute nodes to form a 40 GbE cluster interconnect spanning campus-scale labs. The link supports deterministic latency under 1 µs and 40 Gbps throughput over 10 km of single-mode fiber, accelerating distributed training jobs. Benefit: Cuts model convergence time by up to 25 %, boosts GPU utilization to 98 %, and scales performance without rack redesign.
Converged Ethernet & SAN Fabric Extension for Enterprise Storage
A financial services firm implements the J9996A-2P 40GbE QSFP+ V3 ZL2 MOD PL=35 to extend its converged Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) SAN fabric across two data centers. Over a 35 km single-mode link, the module delivers low-jitter, lossless transport and supports multiprotocol QoS. Benefit: Consolidates storage and LAN traffic, reduces fiber infrastructure by 60 %, and ensures zero-packet-loss SLAs for critical transaction processing.
