Cisco Part Number: QSFP-40G-SR4= is a Cisco 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP Module for MMF (Spare)
Cisco's 40GBASE QSFP (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable) selection offers a diverse array of options catering to the needs of customers seeking high-density and energy-efficient 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity solutions. These modules are ideally suited for a range of environments including data centers, high-performance computing networks, enterprise core and distribution layers, as well as service provider applications.
Key Features and Advantages of Cisco QSFP Modules:
Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4
The Cisco 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP Modules support link lengths of 100 meters and 150 meters, respectively, on laser-optimized OM3, and OM4/OM5 multimode fibers. It primarily enables high-bandwidth 40G optical links over 12-fiber parallel fiber terminated with MPO/MTP multifiber female connectors. It can also be used in a 4x10G breakout mode for interoperability with 10GBASE-SR and SFP-10/25G-CSR-S (in 10G mode) interfaces up to 100 and 150 meters on OM3, and OM4/OM5 fibers, respectively. The worry-free 4x10G mode operation is enabled by the optimization of the transmit and receive optical characteristics of the Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4 to prevent receiver overload or unnecessary triggering of alarm thresholds on the 10GBASE-SR and SFP-10/25G-CSR-S (in 10G mode) receiver, and at the same time is completely interoperable with all standard 40GBASE-SR4 interfaces.
The 4x10G connectivity is achieved using an external 12-fiber parallel to 2-fiber duplex breakout cable, which connects the 40GBASE-SR4 module to four 10GBASE-SR optical interfaces. Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4 is optimized to guarantee interoperability with any IEEE 40GBASE-SR4 and in 4x10G mode with the 10GBASE-SR and SFP-10/25G-CSR (in10G mode).
