Description
Overview of QSFP+ Transceiver Module
The 40G-QSFP-SR4 transceiver module is designed to provide high-speed data connectivity over multimode fiber optic cabling. It uses a QSFP+ form factor and supports data rates of up to 40 Gbps. The module uses four parallel 10 Gbps channels to achieve its 40 Gbps speed, and it supports distances of up to 150 meters over OM4 multimode fiber.
The transceiver module also supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) functionality, which allows for real-time monitoring of important parameters such as transmit and receive power, temperature, and voltage. This helps network administrators to quickly identify and troubleshoot problems in the network.
