QSFP+ transceiver for 40 Gbps links

This QSFP+ transceiver delivers 40 Gbps over multi-mode fibre at 850 nm with a reach of 150 m. It uses an MTP/MPO connector and is coded for full Cisco compatibility. The module meets MSA standards and includes digital output monitoring. Commercial temperature rating covers 0 to 70 C.

Suited for Cisco switches needing 40G SR4

Network teams extending 40 Gbps links inside data-centre racks or campus closets will find this module a direct fit. Buyers who need longer reach, single-mode fibre, or a different vendor coding should look at other modules. The 150 m limit also rules out cross-building runs.

150 m reach at 850 nm over MMF

The 150 m maximum distance on multi-mode fibre at 850 nm is the single figure that decides fit. If the planned link exceeds 150 m, this transceiver will not work and a longer-reach or single-mode alternative is required.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Brute Networks QSFP-40G-SR4-S and what step is often missed?

Insert the module into a QSFP+ slot until it clicks, then connect the MTP/MPO cable with the correct polarity so that Tx and Rx fibres match at both ends.

What maintenance or replacement will the 850 nm MMF transceiver need later?

Clean the MTP/MPO connector end-faces with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol whenever links show errors; the module itself has no user-serviceable parts.

What limit appears first on the 40 Gbps link during sustained use?

The 150 metre reach on multi-mode fibre is the primary distance constraint; the commercial temperature rating of 0 to 70 °C defines the operating envelope.
