Purpose and fit

The Brocade ICX7400-1X40GQ is a wired expansion module that adds a single 40 Gigabit QSFP+ uplink port to a compatible switch chassis. It is intended for network engineers who need one high-speed aggregation link rather than multiple lower-speed connections.

Build and daily use

The module slots into the switch front panel and presents one QSFP+ cage for a direct-attach copper cable or a transceiver. Wired connectivity and the 40 Gigabit LAN protocol mean the link is established as soon as a supported module is inserted and the far end is configured.

Deciding specification

The only port provided is a 40 Gbps QSFP+ uplink, so the part suits deployments that require exactly one 40 Gigabit aggregation path and cannot use a module with additional ports or a different speed.
