Accortec QSFPP-4X10GE-SR Expansion Module
The Accortec QSFPP-4X10GE-SR Expansion Module is a cutting-edge solution for businesses and data centers that are eager to bolster their data networking capabilities. Engineered for high-density uplinks and optimized for performance, this QSFP+ SR expansion module delivers four parallel 10 Gigabit Ethernet lanes, empowering modern networks to scale with demand. It is designed to fit seamlessly into existing infrastructures, enabling faster data transfer, lower latency, and greater throughput without a complete rip-and-replace of your current hardware. Built for reliability in demanding environments, the QSFPP-4X10GE-SR combines rugged construction with precision optics to support mission-critical applications—from cloud services and virtualization workloads to high-performance computing and storage networking. Whether you are expanding a core fabric, connecting server farms, or elevating your storage area network, this module is crafted to meet the challenges of today’s data-centric landscape.
-
High-density, four-lane design: Maximize uplink capacity with four independent 10 Gigabit SR channels in a single QSFP+ enclosure. This architecture enables parallel data streams, improving overall throughput across core switches, aggregation layers, and data center fabrics. The result is a more responsive network with lower congestion, faster backups, and better performance for latency-sensitive applications. Operators can segment traffic by lane to optimize QoS, security policies, and service levels across virtualized environments and multi-tenant cloud deployments.
-
Broad compatibility and plug-and-play integration: The Accortec expansion module is designed to work with a wide range of QSFP+ capable switches and routers that support SR transceivers. It supports hot-swapping on platforms that offer this capability, enabling network upgrades without prolonged downtime and minimizing service interruption. Designed for straightforward lifecycle management, it reduces time-to-value in new deployments and accelerates migration paths for growing data-center ecosystems.
-
Reliability for demanding data centers: Built with a robust enclosure and high-quality optics, the QSFPP-4X10GE-SR module is engineered for steady operation in challenging environments. It features precise optical alignment, rugged connectors, and proven interoperability with industry-standard 10G SR optics to reduce the risk of link failures and misalignment. In practice, this translates to lower mean time to repair (MTTR), fewer field failures, and more predictable network performance across peak traffic periods.
-
Efficient power and thermal performance: In dense rack deployments, power and heat are critical considerations. This module is designed with energy-conscious components and optimized thermal characteristics to minimize power draw while maintaining stable performance. Its efficient operation helps data centers meet tight energy targets, reduces cooling load, and supports higher port densities without compromising reliability.
-
Future-ready scalability and cost efficiency: By adding four 10G SR lanes in a single module, organizations can extend their network capacity without replacing existing infrastructure. The QSFPP-4X10GE-SR supports progressive upgrades as traffic grows, lowering CAPEX and simplifying fleet management for long-term data center evolution. This modular approach enables phased deployments, easier capacity planning, and a smoother transition to higher-speed fabrics as business needs mature.

How to install Accortec QSFPP-4X10GE-SR Expansion Module
Prepare the host device: Verify whether the chassis or device supports hot-swapping for QSFP+ modules. If hot-swapping is supported, you may proceed with installation without powering down; otherwise, follow the manufacturer’s recommended shutdown procedure to minimize risk.
Locate an available QSFP+ expansion slot: Ensure the slot is compatible with QSFP+ SR transceivers and that the device’s backplane or fabric supports four 10G lanes. Review your device’s maintenance guide to confirm compatibility and any firmware prerequisites.
Insert the module correctly: Align the QSFPP-4X10GE-SR with the slot and slide it in firmly until you hear or feel a secure seat click. Avoid excessive force and ensure the connectors mate cleanly with the backplane to prevent misalignment or damage.
Connect fiber optics and manage cabling: Attach the appropriate multimode fiber cables to the module’s transmit/receive interfaces, observing correct polarity and cable routing. Use SR-grade fiber and comply with your organization’s cable management standards to minimize stress on connectors and preserve link integrity.
Verify operation and monitor performance: After installation, power on or resume operation and access the device’s management interface to confirm recognition of all four lanes. Check link status LEDs, transceiver diagnostics, and port counters. Run basic throughput and error-check tests to validate performance and ensure stable operation under expected traffic loads.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Accortec QSFPP-4X10GE-SR Expansion Module? It is a quad-lane QSFP+ SR transceiver expansion module that provides four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SR channels in a single, compact form factor for high-density uplinks in data centers.
- Is it hot-swappable? Compatibility with hot-swapping depends on the host device. Many QSFP+ platforms support hot-swapping; always consult your switch or router vendor’s guidelines before installation.
- What fiber type and connectors are required? The SR designation indicates short-range optics designed for multimode fiber. Connectors and interfaces vary by OEM, but SR modules typically use MPO/MTP or LC-type interfaces in parallel configurations. Confirm exact fiber type, connector, and patching requirements in the official datasheet.
- How do I verify the module is functioning after installation? Use the device’s management interface to check transceiver status, confirm four active 10G SR lanes, and inspect port diagnostics. Running throughput tests and monitoring error counters helps ensure stable operation.
- Where can I find official specifications? Consult the official datasheet or product page on the Synnex(-catalog) site or the OEM documentation for precise metrics, supported platforms, firmware requirements, and warranty terms.
