SKU CH-VH49-1XGJH

40 Gbps QSFP+ transceiver for Force 10 switches using SR4 optics

  • 40 Gbps throughput for high-density links
  • 10 Gbps lane speed across four channels
  • QSFP+ form factor fits standard switch ports
  • Designed for Force 10 GP-QSFP-40GE-ESR compatibility

40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ module for Force 10

This QSFP+ transceiver delivers 40 Gbps connectivity over multimode fibre for Force 10 networking equipment. It is built for data-centre links that require short-range optical transmission using the SR4 standard. The module suits administrators upgrading or expanding 40 Gigabit Ethernet fabrics. Compatibility is limited to the specified vendor platform.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The transceiver operates within standard QSFP+ power limits for 40G SR4 optics. Heat output is consistent with typical short-range modules under continuous load. No active cooling is required beyond normal chassis airflow. Acoustic contribution is negligible in a populated switch environment.

Questions about this item

How is the QSFP+ transceiver installed in a Force 10 switch, and what step is commonly missed?

Align the module with the QSFP+ port, slide it in until the latch clicks, then insert the MPO cable fully; the step often missed is removing the dust caps from both the transceiver and cable ends before insertion.

What maintenance or replacement will the 40GBASE-SR4 module need over time?

The optical interfaces require periodic cleaning with a lint-free swab and isopropyl alcohol; replace the module if link errors persist after cleaning or if the transmitter output degrades below specification.
