• IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4 compliance ensures full interoperability with all standards-compliant 40G short-reach interfaces, eliminating compatibility risk with vendor equipment or third-party optics in the same link.
• Four independent parallel lanes, each operating at 10.3125 Gbps using 850nm VCSEL laser technology, aggregate to 40Gbps throughput without requiring lane bonding or FEC configuration at the host.
• S-Class designation indicates this module is optimized for native 40G applications only and does not support 4x10G breakout connectivity or FCoE encapsulation, simplifying deployment in pure 40GbE environments.
• Hot-swappable QSFP+ form factor allows installation or removal during live operation without host reboot, and digital diagnostics provide per-lane monitoring of optical transmit/receive power, temperature, voltage, and bias current.
• 12-fibre MPO/MTP parallel ribbon interface delivers reach up to 150m on OM4 or OM5 fibre with lower loss budget requirements than duplex-based solutions, supporting high-density spine-leaf or intra-rack topologies.
• Low power dissipation under 1.5W typical enables high port-density deployment in chassis with limited thermal headroom, and commercial-grade 0-70°C operation suits enterprise data centre and campus core environments.
