40GbE QSFP+ SR Optics Module
The Intel E40GQSFPSR is a hot-swappable QSFP+ transceiver designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet links over multi-mode fibre. It targets data-centre operators and network engineers who need short-range optical connectivity inside a rack or across adjacent racks.
MPO Connector and Adapter Compatibility
The module presents a single MPO receptacle for a 40GBase-SR4 parallel optic cable. It is qualified for use with Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapters X520-QDA1, XL710-QDA1 and XL710-QDA2, freeing a PCIe slot that would otherwise require a fixed-port card.
40 Gb/s Throughput Over Multi-mode Fibre
Rated for 40 Gb/s, the optics suit typical intra-data-centre distances supported by the SR4 standard. The link will not reach campus or metro spans that demand single-mode optics or longer-wavelength transceivers.

Questions about this item
How far can the 40GBase-SR4 link reach over multi-mode fiber before signal loss becomes the limiting factor?
The module supports 40GBase-SR4 over multi-mode fiber, with reach defined by the SR4 standard for the fiber grade you install.
What is the typical power draw and thermal output when the module runs continuously in a switch chassis?
Power consumption and heat are determined by the host switch; the hot-swappable QSFP+ form factor draws power directly from the cage.
Which Intel converged network adapters must be present in the server for this module to operate?
Compatible adapters are the X520-QDA1, XL710-QDA1 and XL710-QDA2; the module plugs into their QSFP+ cages.
