Intel E40GQSFPSR QSFP+ SR Optics 40GbE Switch Module

SKU CH-RJXX-1JXES

Hot-swappable 40GbE QSFP+ SR module with MPO connector for multi-mode fibre links

  • Plug typeQSFP+
  • 40 Gigabit Ethernet throughput via 40GBase-SR4 optics
  • Hot-swappable QSFP+ form factor enables live module replacement
  • Multi-mode fiber support through MPO connector for short-range links
  • RoHS-6 compliant design meets environmental standards
  • Validated compatibility with Intel X520, XL710 converged network adapters

40GbE QSFP+ SR Optics Module

The Intel E40GQSFPSR is a hot-swappable QSFP+ transceiver designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet links over multi-mode fibre. It targets data-centre operators and network engineers who need short-range optical connectivity inside a rack or across adjacent racks.

MPO Connector and Adapter Compatibility

The module presents a single MPO receptacle for a 40GBase-SR4 parallel optic cable. It is qualified for use with Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapters X520-QDA1, XL710-QDA1 and XL710-QDA2, freeing a PCIe slot that would otherwise require a fixed-port card.

40 Gb/s Throughput Over Multi-mode Fibre

Rated for 40 Gb/s, the optics suit typical intra-data-centre distances supported by the SR4 standard. The link will not reach campus or metro spans that demand single-mode optics or longer-wavelength transceivers.

Questions about this item

How far can the 40GBase-SR4 link reach over multi-mode fiber before signal loss becomes the limiting factor?

The module supports 40GBase-SR4 over multi-mode fiber, with reach defined by the SR4 standard for the fiber grade you install.

What is the typical power draw and thermal output when the module runs continuously in a switch chassis?

Power consumption and heat are determined by the host switch; the hot-swappable QSFP+ form factor draws power directly from the cage.

Which Intel converged network adapters must be present in the server for this module to operate?

Compatible adapters are the X520-QDA1, XL710-QDA1 and XL710-QDA2; the module plugs into their QSFP+ cages.
