Features of 40 Gigabit QSFP+ Module

QSFP+ Module (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) is a transceiver interfaces a network device motherboard (for a switch, router, media converter or similar device) to a fiber optic cable, widely used for data communications applications. It is a industry format jointly developed and supported by many network component vendors. QSFP+ can also be the IEEE standard connector for the emerging 40GbE standard. Like SFP, QSFP+ supports both copper and optical cabling solutions.

Benefits and features:

• Support for 40GBASE Ethernet;
• Hot-swappable input/output device that connects to a 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ Cisco switch port;
• Flexibility of interface choice;
• Interoperable along with other IEEE-compliant 40GBASE interfaces available in various form factors;
• Support for "pay-as-you-populate" model;
• Support for the Cisco quality identification (ID) feature which helps a Cisco switch to identify if the module is certified and tested by Cisco.

The QSFP+ transceiver link length for either 40 Gigabit Ethernet or high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet application can be 100 m using OM3 fiber or 150 m using OM4 fiber. These modules are designed to operate over multimode fiber systems utilizing a nominal wavelength of 850nm. The electrical interface uses a 38 contact edge type connector. The optical interface uses an 8 or 12 fiber MTP (MPO) connector.

The 40G QSFP+ transceiver module is a hot-swappable, integrates 4 independent 10 gigabit per second data lanes in every direction to supply 40Gbps aggregate bandwidth. 40GBASE QSFP+ modules offer customers a multitude of high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity choices for data center, high-performance computing networks, enterprise core and distribution layers, and service provider transport applications. The QSFP+ transceiver module connects the electrical circuitry of the system with whether copper or perhaps an optical external network. The transceiver is used primarily in a nutshell reach applications in switches, routers, and data center equipment where it provides higher density than SFP+ modules.

The QSFP+ specification supports Ethernet, Fiber Channel, InfiniBand and SONET/SDH standards with various data rate options. QSFP+ transceivers are made to support Serial Attached SCSI, 40G Ethernet, 20G/40G Infiniband, and other communications standards. QSFP+ modules boost the port-density by nearly 3x when compared to SFP module. The QSFP+ transceiver includes 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ and 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ for various applications.

QSFP-40G-SR4 Module supports link lengths of 100m and 150m respectively on laser-optimized OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber cables. It primarily enables high-bandwidth 40G optical links over ribbon fiber cables terminated with multi-fiber connectors, and could also be employed along with ribbon to duplex fiber breakout cables for connectivity to four 10GBASE-SR optical interfaces.
