Description

This is a hot-swappable 40GBASE-PLR4 transceiver in the QSFP+ form factor. It runs four parallel 10G lanes over single-mode fibre and reaches up to 10km, making it suited to 10G-to-40G migration, 4x10G breakout links and data centre runs over parallel single-mode cabling.

Optics are 1310nm with an MPO-12 APC connector on SMF G.652 fibre. Transmit power is -8.2 to +0.5 dBm per lane and receive power is -14.4 to +0.5 dBm per lane. Maximum power consumption is 3.5 W, drawn from the host switch QSFP+ port. Compared with the PLRL4 variant, which reaches 1km, this PLR4 module extends the parallel single-mode reach to 10km.

It fits QSFP+ ports on Arista switches and interoperates with 4x10G LR optics (up to 10km) and LRL optics (up to 1km). It can break out to four 10GBASE-LR links over MPO-12 parallel single-mode fibre. Confirm platform support in the Arista Transceiver Compatibility Matrix.

FAQs

Q: What fibre and connector does this transceiver need?
A: It needs parallel single-mode fibre (SMF G.652) terminated with an MPO-12 APC connector. It is not designed for multimode cabling.

Q: How does it differ from the QSFP-40G-PLRL4?
A: Both are parallel single-mode 40G QSFP+ optics with MPO-12 APC connectors. This PLR4 module reaches up to 10km, while the PLRL4 reaches up to 1km.

Q: Can it connect to 10G optics at the far end?
A: Yes. It interoperates with 4x10G LR optics up to 10km and LRL optics up to 1km, and can break out to four 10GBASE-LR links over MPO-12 parallel single-mode fibre.

Q: How much power does it draw?
A: Maximum power consumption is 3.5 W, supplied by the host switch QSFP+ port. No separate power connection is required.

Q: Which switches does it work in?
A: It fits QSFP+ ports on Arista switches. Check the Arista Transceiver Compatibility Matrix for support on your specific platform.
