40GBase-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver

The AddOn QSFP-8LC-AOC5M-AO is a Cisco-compatible QSFP+ transceiver that delivers 40GBase-SR4 throughput up to 5 metres over multi-mode fibre. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength using a 4xLC breakout connector. Network engineers and data-centre technicians needing a drop-in replacement for the Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4-S will find it suited to short-reach 40 GbE links.

Hot-swappable installation with DOM

The module is hot-swappable, so it can be inserted or removed without powering down the host switch or router. Each unit is programmed, uniquely serialised and data-traffic tested to initialise identically to the OEM part. Digital optical monitoring provides real-time access to operating parameters such as temperature, voltage and optical power, simplifying troubleshooting after deployment.

5-metre reach over OM3/OM4 fibre

The transceiver is rated for 40 GbE connections up to 5 metres on multi-mode fibre, making it appropriate for intra-rack or adjacent-rack links. Beyond that distance the signal budget for 40GBase-SR4 is exhausted, so longer runs require a different optic or single-mode infrastructure. It is TAA compliant for projects that mandate compliant sourcing.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 40GBase-SR4 link is operating correctly after installing the transceiver?

Check the switch port status for a 40 Gb/s link and use the DOM interface to verify real-time optical power and temperature readings are within normal range.

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The package contains the AddOn QSFP-8LC-AOC5M-AO transceiver with integrated 5 m multi-mode fiber breakout to four LC connectors; compatible patch cables or additional fiber are not included.

Which version should I choose for a Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4-S replacement at 5 metres?

Select this QSFP-8LC-AOC5M-AO model; it is programmed and tested for 100 % compatibility with the Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4-S and provides 40GBase-SR4 over 5 m of 850 nm multi-mode fiber.
