Network transceiver for 40 GbE links

This QSFP+ module delivers 40 Gigabit Ethernet over multi-mode fibre using an LC duplex connector. It is built for data-centre and enterprise switches that need hot-swappable optics for short-reach connections. The transceiver is TAA compliant for government and regulated procurements.

Capacity and headroom at 40 Gbps

The module supports a 40GBASE-SR signal and also runs at 10 Gbps where a 10GBASE-SR link is required. Multi-mode fibre limits the practical reach to the distances defined by the SR standard, so longer campus or metro runs will need a different optic.

Fits a QSFP+ cage with LC patching

Installation requires a free QSFP+ port and standard LC multi-mode patch cables. The hot-swappable design allows insertion or removal without powering down the switch, freeing a slot for other speeds or media types when the link is decommissioned.

Questions about this item

Will the PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-BID work in a 10GBase-SR port I already have?

The module supports 10GBase-SR operation, so it can link with existing 10G multi-mode gear when the switch port is configured for that speed.

How do I confirm the transceiver is operating correctly once installed?

Check the switch port status for a 40 Gigabit Ethernet link light and verify the module reports a valid temperature and voltage range in the management interface.

Does the box include the LC patch cables I need for multi-mode fiber?

The package contains the hot-swappable QSFP+ module only; multi-mode LC cables must be purchased separately.
