Astro Gaming 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ Optical Transceiver Module 2 in 1 Accessory

SKU CH-H283-QNRS5

A 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ transceiver supports 150m on OM3 multimode or 2km on single-mode fiber with digital diagnostics and 3.5W max power

  • Prolonged service life from 3.5W max power consumption
  • Operates reliably across 32 to 158F commercial temperature range
  • Strong diagnostic capabilities with real-time digital optical monitoring
  • Upgrade 10G to 40G without replacing existing multimode fiber cabling
  • Hot-pluggable QSFP+ form factor compliant with SFF-8436 and IEEE 802.3 standards

Network upgrade module

This 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ transceiver upgrades existing 10G links to 40G without replacing multimode fibre cabling. It targets network engineers who need a hot-pluggable module for Brocade-compatible switches and mixed single-mode or multimode runs.

Thermals and power

Maximum power draw is 3.5W and the commercial temperature range spans 0 to 70C (32 to 158F). Digital diagnostic monitoring provides real-time optical data for link health checks.

Reach and fibre type

Supports up to 150m on OM3 multimode fibre or 2km on single-mode fibre at 1310nm using duplex LC connectors. Not suitable for links that exceed those distances or require a different wavelength.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ module, and which step is most often missed?

Insert the hot-pluggable QSFP+ module into a compliant port while the switch is powered on, then connect duplex LC cables; the step most often missed is verifying the switch EEPROM coding matches the module so the link initialises correctly.

What maintenance or replacement will the 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ module need later?

The module has no user-serviceable parts; maintenance is limited to keeping the duplex LC connectors clean and monitoring the built-in digital optical monitoring (DDM) data for power or temperature drift that would indicate end-of-life.

What limit appears first when the 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ module runs under sustained load?

The commercial temperature ceiling of 70 °C (158 °F) is the first hard limit; the module draws up to 3.5 W, so sustained operation in a poorly ventilated chassis can reach that threshold before optical power degrades.
