Palo Alto PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-SR4 40G QSFP+ SR4 Transceiver switch module

40G QSFP+ SR4 Transceiver

This Palo Alto Networks module provides 40 Gbps connectivity over multimode fibre using the 40GBASE-SR4 standard. It uses an MPO/MTP connector and operates at an 850 nm wavelength in the QSFP+ form factor. The part number is PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-SR4.

Suits 40G multimode links with MPO cabling

Network teams needing 40 Gbps short-reach uplinks or interconnects between switches and routers will use this transceiver. It does not suit single-mode fibre runs, longer-reach requirements or different port speeds. Buyers needing other form factors or connector types must look elsewhere.

Ethernet Standard 40GBASE-SR4 decides fit

The 40GBASE-SR4 designation defines the reach, fibre type and lane configuration this module supports. Match this exact standard against the port specification on the host device before purchase. The 850 nm wavelength and MPO connector are fixed by this standard.
