Bipra 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ Optical Transceiver 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-J8M2-SQH5W

A 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ transceiver delivering 40 Gbps over duplex LC fiber with 150 m multimode or 2 km single-mode reach, digital diagnostics and 3.5 W max power

  • 40 Gbps connectivity over existing OM3 multimode fibre up to 150 m
  • 2 km reach on single-mode fibre at 1310 nm wavelength
  • Low 3.5 W power draw extends module service life
  • Digital optical monitoring gives real-time link diagnostics
  • Hot-pluggable QSFP+ form factor compliant with SFF-8436 and IEEE 802.3ba

Universal 40G QSFP+ Transceiver

This Bipra 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ optical transceiver serves networks that need a single module for both single-mode and multimode links. It suits administrators upgrading 10G infrastructure to 40G without replacing existing OM3 cabling. The hot-pluggable design fits standard QSFP+ ports in compatible switches and routers.

Verify port coding and fiber type

Confirm the target switch accepts third-party modules with custom EEPROM coding before ordering. Ensure the patch cables match the intended reach: OM3 multimode for 150m links or single-mode fiber for 2km links. Check that the operating environment stays within the 0 to 70C commercial temperature range.

DDM simplifies link diagnostics

Built-in digital diagnostic monitoring reports real-time optical power, temperature and voltage data to the host system. This visibility lets engineers detect degradation early and maintain link reliability without external test gear. Compliance with SFF-8436 and IEEE 802.3ba ensures electrical interoperability across qualified platforms.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Bipra 40GBASE-UNIV QSFP+ transceiver and do I need to buy cables separately?

The module ships alone. You must purchase duplex LC patch cords — OM3 multimode for runs up to 150 m or single-mode for runs up to 2 km — because no cables are included.

How do I decide between using OM3 multimode fibre or single-mode fibre with this 40GBASE-UNIV module?

Choose OM3 multimode when the link is 150 m or less and you want to reuse existing cabling; choose single-mode when the link reaches 2 km. Both use the same 1310 nm transceiver.

What does the 3.5 W maximum power draw mean for my switch deployment?

Each occupied QSFP+ port can draw up to 3.5 W, so plan the switch power budget accordingly and ensure airflow keeps the module within the 0 to 70 °C operating range.
