40GBase-SR QSFP+ Module for Optical Networking
This hot-swappable QSFP+ transceiver delivers 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multi-mode fibre for data networking and optical network environments. It is built for network engineers and system integrators who need reliable short-range links between switches, routers or servers in enterprise or campus deployments.
150-Metre Reach on Multi-Mode Fibre
The single specification that determines fit is the 150 metre maximum link distance on multi-mode fibre using an LC connector and 40GBase-SR signalling. Buyers who need longer spans or single-mode compatibility must select a different module, as this unit does not support extended-range or LR optics.
Hot-Swappable LC Installation
Installation is a simple matter of inserting the module into a compatible QSFP+ port and connecting a duplex LC patch cord; no tools or system reboot are required. The most common issue is mismatched fibre type or exceeding the 150 metre limit, which causes link errors or complete signal loss.

Questions about this item
What does the 40 Gb/s rate mean when the module is installed in a switch?
The module delivers 40 Gigabit Ethernet over a single LC multi-mode fibre link, so the port runs at line-rate 40 Gb/s for optical network and data networking traffic.
How does the LC 40GBase-SR interface limit the link?
The LC duplex connector carries 40GBase-SR signalling over multi-mode fibre, capping the reach at 150 metres.
What slot and clearance does the hot-swappable module need?
It fits a standard QSFP+ cage and can be inserted or removed while the switch is powered on, requiring no extra brackets or tools.
