40GBASE-SR BiDi QSFP+ transceiver

This Axiom QSFP+ module delivers 40 Gigabit Ethernet over multi-mode fibre using bidirectional wavelengths of 832-918 nm. It is built for network operators who need a single LC connection up to 492 ft in Cisco ASR 9001 and other MSA compliant platforms. The module arrives pre-coded for immediate OEM recognition.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The transceiver operates from a 5 Volt supply and draws minimal power typical for QSFP+ SR optics. No active cooling fan is present so the module runs silently in a standard switch chassis. Heat dissipation is handled by the host system's airflow across the cage.

Build integration

The compact 0.53 x 2.85 x 0.72 inch form factor fits any QSFP+ cage without blocking adjacent ports. One LC duplex patch cord completes the link and the MSA compliant label ensures interoperability across supported switches and routers. No extra licensing or configuration steps are required beyond physical insertion.

Questions about this item

How do I install the MA-QSFP-40G-SR-BD-AX into a Cisco ASR 9001 and what step is often missed?

Slide the module into the QSFP+ port until it clicks, then insert the LC duplex patch cable; the step often missed is removing the dust caps from both the transceiver and the cable ends before connecting.

What maintenance or replacement will the MA-QSFP-40G-SR-BD-AX need over time?

The module itself has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the LC multi-mode patch cables if the end faces become scratched or contaminated, and re-seat the transceiver if link errors appear after vibration or temperature cycling.

What is the distance limit that appears first when running 40GBASE-SR BiDi on multi-mode fibre?

The link is rated for 492 ft on multi-mode fibre using the 832-918 nm wavelength pair; beyond that distance signal attenuation becomes the limiting factor.
