The Cisco® 40GBASE QSFP (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver offers customers a wide variety of high-density, low-power 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data centers, high-performance IT networks, distribution layers , enterprise core, services, and vendor applications.
The features of Cisco 40GBASE QSFP modules are:
Hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Cisco QSFP 40 Gigabit Ethernet port.
Interoperable with other IEEE-compliant 40GBASE interfaces where applicable.
Certification and verification in High performance, superior quality and reliability Cisco QSFP 40G ports.
High-speed interface compliant with IEEE 802.3ba standard.
QSFP form factor, 2-wire I2C communication interface and other low-speed interface compliant with SFF 8436 and QSFP Multisource Agreement (MSA).
The Cisco QSFP 40-Gbps BiDirectional (BiDi) transceiver is a pluggable optical transceiver with a duplex LC connector interface for short-reach data communication and interconnect applications using MultiMode Fiber (MMF). The Cisco QSFP 40-Gbps BiDi transceiver offers customers a compelling solution that enables reuse of their existing 10 Gigabit duplex MMF infrastructure for migration to 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
The Cisco QSFP 40-Gbps BiDi transceiver supports link lengths of 100 and 150 meters on laser-optimized OM3, and OM4/OM5 multimode fibers, respectively.
The Cisco BiDi transceiver complies with the QSFP MSA specification, enabling customers to use it on all QSFP 40-Gbps platforms to achieve high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Each Cisco QSFP 40-Gbps BiDi transceiver consists of two 20-Gbps transmit and receive channels in the 832-918 nanometer wavelength range, enabling an aggregated 40-Gbps link over a two-strand multimode fiber connection.
