Alcatel-Lucent QSFP+ 40GBASE-SR transceivermodule 40 Gigabit Ethernet 150m

The Alcatel-Lucent QSFP-40G-SR is a high-performance QSFP+ transceiver module designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It enables reliable, high-speed data transmission over multi-mode fiber (MMF) with distances up to 150 meters on OM4 fiber. This hot-swappable module is ideal for data center and enterprise networking applications, offering low power consumption and full digital optical monitoring (DOM) capabilities.

Advantages

This transceiver module delivers exceptional performance and reliability for 40G network links. It supports 40GBASE-SR standard with 4 independent transmit and receive lanes, each operating at 10 Gbps. The module is MSA compliant and IEEE 802.3ba compliant, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment. Its compact QSFP+ form factor allows for high-density port configurations, maximizing switch and router port utilization. With a typical power consumption of less than 1.5W, it helps reduce overall energy costs in the network.
