It combines robust build quality with plug-and-play usability, making it a trusted choice for organizations striving to optimize performance while controlling total cost of ownership.

• Blazing-fast 40GBASE-SR4 performance: Four parallel 10 Gbps lanes deliver a total bidirectional bandwidth of 40 Gbps over multimode fiber, enabling high-throughput applications, low-latency storage protocols, and accelerated data transfer across racks and data centers. The SR4 design is purpose-built for short-reach links, maximizing efficiency in high-density deployments without compromising signal integrity.
• Multimode fiber compatibility for flexible deployments: Optimized to operate over standard multimode fiber (OM3/OM4), the module provides a cost-effective path to scale up network capacity. Its MMF compatibility simplifies retrofits and upgrades, allowing you to repurpose existing fiber infrastructure while expanding bandwidth to meet growing traffic demands.
• MPO/MTP connector interface for streamlined cabling: The QSFP+ module uses a high-density MPO/MTP fiber connector, enabling parallel aggregation of four data lanes in a compact form factor. This arrangement reduces patching complexity, improves cabling management, and supports rapid field replacements with minimal disruption to active networks.
• Hot-swappable design for minimal downtime: Built to be hot-pluggable, the Accortec QSFP Module supports easy insertion and removal without powering down equipment, ensuring providers and operators can perform maintenance, upgrades, or swaps with maximum uptime and minimal configuration overhead.
• Reliability and long-term efficiency: Precision-engineered components, rigorous manufacturing tolerances, and energy-conscious operation translate to stable performance across diverse environmental conditions. This module is designed to minimize emission losses, optimize link budgets, and sustain high-quality signals in busy data-center ecosystems.

How to install Accortec QSFP Module

• Prepare the equipment: Power down the device only if required by your environment's change-management policy, then identify an available QSFP+ slot and verify that fiber cabling is ready for connection.
• Remove protective caps: If present, gently remove any protective dust caps from both the QSFP module and the MPO/MTP fiber receptors to prevent contamination of connectors.
• Insert the module: Align the Accortec QSFP Module with the slot, then slide it in firmly until it seats with a secure click. Avoid excessive force and ensure the module is fully seated for proper electrical and optical contact.
• Connect fiber cabling: Attach the MPO/MTP fiber assembly to the module’s connector, ensuring the ferrules are clean and free of debris. Route cables to minimize bending and maintain the recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity.
• Power up and configure: If necessary, power on the device and configure the interface as a 40GBASE-SR4 link. Verify link status, perform a basic loopback or diagnostic test if available, and monitor throughput to confirm proper operation.
