QSFP+ Fibre Optic Transceiver Technology Overview

QSFP+ 40G

A QSFP is a Quad (4-channel) small form factor hot pluggable fibre optic transceiver used for 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) data communications applications.

The QSFP significantly increases the port-density by 4x compared to SFP+ form factor. 40G QSFP+ transceivers include SR4, eSR4, LX4, LR4 Lite, IR4 PSM, LR4 PSM, LR4, ER4 and BiDi series.
