40GBASE-SR QSFP+ Transceiver

This 40 Gbps QSFP+ transceiver delivers 40GBASE-SR connectivity over multi-mode fibre. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength and reaches 100 metres on OM3 or OM4 cable. The module uses an MTP/MPO connector and includes Digital Optical Monitoring. It is coded for full HPE 720187-B21 compatibility and meets MSA standards.

Network Engineers Needing 40 Gbps Short-Range Links

The part suits engineers upgrading HPE switches or servers that require a 40 Gbps multi-mode link up to 100 metres. It supports commercial temperatures from 0 to 70 °C. Buyers needing single-mode fibre, longer reach beyond 100 metres, or non-HPE coding should look at a different module.

100 Metre Reach on Multi-Mode Fibre

The 100 metre maximum distance on multi-mode fibre is the specification that decides fit. Verify your link length and fibre type before ordering. The 850 nm wavelength and MTP/MPO connector match the 40GBASE-SR standard. This module will not work on single-mode infrastructure.

Questions about this item

Does my switch need a QSFP+ cage that accepts MTP/MPO connectors for this module to fit?

Yes, the transceiver uses a QSFP+ form factor with an MTP/MPO connector, so the host port must be a QSFP+ cage wired for that connector type.

Can I run this 40 Gbps module in the same chassis as older 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers?

Yes, the module occupies a QSFP+ port and operates at 40 Gbps, while 10 Gbps SFP+ modules use separate SFP+ ports; they coexist in the same chassis without interference.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the link is up at full 40 Gbps after I insert the module?

The module provides Power, Link/Activity, Full-Duplex and Speed LEDs; a lit Speed LED together with solid Link/Activity indicates a 40 Gbps link.
