40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver for Brocade switches

This 40 Gbps transceiver module operates at 850 nm wavelength over multi-mode fibre with an MTP/MPO connector. It is built to MSA standards and coded for full Brocade compatibility, allowing it to initialise and perform identically to original equipment modules in routers, switches or servers. The unit supports Digital Optical Monitoring and carries a commercial temperature rating of 0 to 70 °C.

Replaces or upgrades legacy 10 Gbps

When existing 10 Gbps connections saturate uplinks between core switches or between a top-of-rack switch and the aggregation layer, this four-lane SR4 module quadruples bandwidth on a single QSFP+ port. The jump is worth it when the link distance stays within 150 m on OM3 or OM4 multi-mode fibre and the switch firmware accepts third-party coded optics.

Sustained 40 Gbps throughput under continuous load

The transceiver maintains line-rate performance across all four lanes during prolonged traffic bursts thanks to its commercial-grade laser drivers and MSA-compliant thermal design. Digital Optical Monitoring lets administrators track real-time temperature, voltage and optical power to detect degradation before a link fails. Operation remains stable throughout the full 0 to 70 °C range without throttling.

Questions about this item

What connector does the 40GBASE-SR4 module use for the fiber link?

The transceiver uses an MTP/MPO connector for multi-mode fiber.

How is the module inserted into the switch, and what step is often missed?

Slide the QSFP+ module into the port until the latch clicks; the step often missed is removing the dust caps from both the module and the patch cable before insertion.

When should the transceiver be replaced due to operating conditions?

Replace the module if the ambient temperature exceeds 70 °C or if digital monitoring shows degraded optical power.
