• The Accortec QSFP+ Module delivers up to 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth across four parallel 10 Gbps lanes, enabling high-density, scalable uplinks for data centers and enterprise networks. This drive toward multi-lane, high-speed transmission helps maximize throughput while reducing the number of ports required for large-scale deployments, ultimately simplifying cabling, reducing rack footprint, and lowering total cost of ownership. With optimized signal integrity and robust electrical characteristics, this transceiver is designed to sustain peak data rates under varied traffic patterns, making it an excellent choice for busy interconnects and storage-area networks.
• MSA-compliant form factor and hot-pluggable design ensure broad interoperability with QSFP+ ports across a wide range of switch, router, and server platforms. The module adheres to the Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable standard, enabling plug-and-play interoperability with compatible hardware. Operators can mix and match devices from different vendors within the same QSFP+ ecosystem, supporting multi-vendor deployments and simplifying network refresh cycles without forcing a complete equipment upgrade.
• SKU-dependent fiber configurations provide flexibility to match your fiber infrastructure. Whether your network relies on multi-mode fiber for short-reach, high-density deployments or single-mode fiber for longer-haul connections, Accortec QSFP+ Modules are available in variants that align with your fiber choice. This versatility helps customers optimize link budgets and choose the right transceiver for each link, from data-center intra-building connections to campus backbones.
• Energy efficiency and thermal stability are core design tenets. The module is engineered to minimize power consumption per port while maintaining strong signal integrity, even in dense racks where multiple transceivers operate in close proximity. Efficient heat management reduces thermal throttling and helps extend the life of both the transceiver and the host equipment. By balancing performance with power usage, the Accortec QSFP+ Module contributes to lower operating costs and cooler data-center environments.
• Simple deployment with broad compatibility and straightforward maintenance. The QSFP+ Module supports standard installation procedures, quick verification of link status, and easy replacement or upgrade during scheduled maintenance windows. The transceiver is designed for minimal driver and firmware dependencies, enabling faster deployment and less time spent in troubleshooting or compatibility testing—key advantages for busy IT teams managing large-scale networks.

How to Install Accortec QSFP+ Module

Installing the Accortec QSFP+ Module is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and facilitate a quick upgrade to higher network throughput. Before you begin, ensure that your host device (switch, router, or server) has an available QSFP+ port that supports 40G Ethernet and that you have the appropriate fiber patch cables selected for your SKU (multi-mode or single-mode). It is also a good practice to follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during installation to protect sensitive components.

• Power down the device or place the port into a maintenance mode as required by your organization’s change management procedures to avoid unexpected link changes during installation.
• Remove the dust cap from the QSFP+ port and inspect the connector to ensure there is no debris. Keep the dust cap in a safe place for future removal and reattachment when the module is unplugged.
• Align the Accortec QSFP+ Module with the host port, ensuring the top and bottom alignment keys are properly engaged. Gently insert the module straight into the port until it sits securely in place and the side latches engage. Do not apply excessive force.
• Attach the corresponding fiber cables to the external connectors, taking care to use the correct fiber type and connector polarity as specified by the SKU. Use clean, properly terminated connectors and verify that the fiber paths are not bent beyond the recommended bend radius.
• Power up the device or exit maintenance mode and verify that the link indication on the host port stabilizes. If necessary, perform a quick link negotiation test and, where applicable, run basic throughput checks to confirm that the module is delivering the expected performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a QSFP+ Module? A QSFP+ module is a high-density transceiver designed to provide high-bandwidth Ethernet connectivity in data centers. It supports four lanes of data transfer, enabling up to 40 Gbps total bandwidth when used for 40G Ethernet, and it is designed to be hot-pluggable and MSA-compliant for broad interoperability.
• What is the difference between SR4 and LR4? SR4 uses multimode fiber for short-reach applications, typically within data centers, while LR4 uses single-mode fiber for longer-distance connections. The choice depends on your fiber infrastructure and distance requirements; SKU options for the Accortec QSFP+ Module cover multiple configurations to match these needs.
