AddOn QSFP+ 40GBase-SR4 Transceiver

The AddOn QSFP-40G-SR4-S-AO is a Cisco-compatible QSFP+ transceiver built for 40GBase-SR4 links over multi-mode fibre. It suits network engineers upgrading or repairing Cisco equipment where a TAA-compliant module is required. The unit operates at a commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 Celsius and includes digital optical monitoring.

Installation and common issues

The module is hot-pluggable and uses an MPO connector, so it can be inserted or removed without powering down the switch. Most installation problems come from mismatched fibre polarity or using single-mode cable instead of the specified multi-mode fibre. Dirty or damaged MPO end-faces also cause immediate link failures.

Distance and interface limits

The 850 nm optics are rated for 150 metres on OM3 multi-mode fibre and 100 metres on OM4, so longer runs need a different transceiver. The QSFP+ form factor follows SFF-8436 compliance, limiting use to ports that accept QSFP+ modules. Copper direct-attach cables cannot be used in this optical module.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the transceiver is operating correctly after installation?

Check the switch port status for a 40G link light and confirm the DOM read-outs show an 850 nm signal within the 0 to 70 °C temperature range.

What ships with the module and what must I supply?

The transceiver itself is included; you must provide a multi-mode MPO patch cable and a Cisco switch port that accepts QSFP+ form-factor modules.

Which version should I choose for a 150-metre run over OM3 fibre?

This 40GBase-SR4 module is rated for 150 m on multi-mode fibre at 850 nm, matching that distance requirement.
