Accortec QSFP Module
Engineered for modern data centers and high-performance optical networks, the Accortec QSFP Module delivers versatile, high-density connectivity that scales with your infrastructure. Designed to support multi-mode fiber with LC duplex connectors, this transceiver module consolidates 100 Gigabit Ethernet capabilities with 40 Gigabit Ethernet compatibility within a single QSFP form factor. The result is a compact, hot-swappable solution that enables rapid upgrades, simplified cable management, and improved total cost of ownership for enterprise, cloud, and colocation environments. Whether you are building a brand-new 100G fabric or refreshing legacy 40G deployments, the Accortec QSFP Module provides reliable performance, robust interoperability, and flexible deployment options to maximize network efficiency and throughput. Its emphasis on low latency, consistent BER, and compatibility with industry-standard interfaces makes it an ideal choice for spine-leaf architectures, data center interconnects, and optical backbone links. In short, this QSFP module is built to deliver scalable bandwidth without sacrificing simplicity or reliability, helping IT teams accelerate digital transformation and support demanding workloads such as virtualization, AI, storage networks, and large-scale clustering.
- High-speed versatility and performance: The Accortec QSFP Module supports 100GBase-SR for short-reach, multi-mode fiber, as well as 100GBase-X and 40GBase-X capabilities within the same QSFP footprint. This enables flexible upgrade paths from 40G to 100G without needing a full port replacement, reducing network downtime and preserving investment in existing fiber infrastructure. With quad-lane architecture and optimized modulation, this module delivers aggregate data rates up to 100 Gbps while maintaining signal integrity across typical data-center distances. This combination of speed and adaptability is ideal for dense data center deployments, high-bandwidth storage networks, and latency-sensitive applications that demand reliable, scalable throughput.
- Flexible fiber and connector configuration: The module uses LC duplex connectors paired with multi-mode optical fiber, allowing seamless integration with standard fiber trunks and management practices already in place in many data centers. The LC duplex interface is widely adopted, enabling straightforward, low-risk deployment into existing switch ports and patch panels. The multi-mode fiber compatibility gives predictable performance in short-reach links across racks or rows, reducing link budgets and power consumption while preserving signal quality. This flexibility makes it easier to design scalable topologies that accommodate future growth, migrations, and reconfigurations without changing fiber infrastructure.
- Dense, modular design for data centers: QSFP form factor delivers high port density in spine-leaf architectures, top-of-rabricle deployments, and other environments where space is at a premium. The hot-swappable nature of the module minimizes maintenance windows and downtime, allowing IT teams to upgrade or replace transceivers without powering down entire chassis. The compact package also reduces cabling complexity by consolidating multiple 25G or 10G lanes into a single port, enabling better cable management and airflow in crowded racks. This density, combined with the module’s interoperability, supports scalable network growth and simplified lifecycle management for large-scale deployments.
- Reliability features and interoperability: The Accortec QSFP Module is designed to work across a range of switch platforms and vendor ecosystems, following industry-standard QSFP interfaces. Its robust optical design emphasizes low insertion loss, high launch efficiency, and stable performance under typical data-center operating conditions. With strict quality control and compatibility considerations, the module helps minimize compatibility issues during upgrades and migrations, ensuring predictable performance when integrated into multi-vendor environments. This interoperability is critical for deployment flexibility, vendor diversification, and maintaining consistent service levels across complex networks.
- Energy efficiency and manageability: In addition to performance, the module emphasizes efficient operation and thermal stability, helping to reduce overall power draw in dense deployments. The design supports conventional cooling practices and maintains reliable operation across standard data-center temperature ranges. Management interfaces and monitoring capabilities enable operators to track link status, signal quality, and temperature metrics, supporting proactive maintenance and capacity planning. This focus on efficiency and visibility contributes to lower operational costs and improved uptime for mission-critical workloads.

How to Install Accortec QSFP Module
To install the Accortec QSFP Module, follow these practical steps to ensure a secure and reliable deployment. First, power down the equipment and discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded metal surface or using an anti-static wrist strap. Remove any existing transceiver from the target port if you are upgrading an older module. Carefully align the new QSFP module with the port’s connector and slide it straight into the slot until it seats firmly; the module should click into place, indicating a secure electrical and mechanical connection. If a retention latch is present on the chassis, engage it to lock the module in position. Next, connect the LC duplex fiber optic cables, ensuring careful handling of the fiber to avoid excessive bending or tension. After cables are secured, power on the device and verify the status indicators on the chassis or switch management interface. Confirm that the port detects the link and negotiates the correct speed (100G or 40G, as configured). If necessary, perform a basic speed and link test and ensure proper BER performance through the switch’s diagnostic tools. Finally, configure the switch or router interfaces to reflect the desired speed, VLANs, and routing policies, and monitor the link for stability during initial traffic experiments. With proper installation, the Accortec QSFP Module delivers reliable, high-bandwidth connections suitable for dense, latency-sensitive applications.
