Description

HPE X140 40G QSFP+ LC LR4L 2KM SM Transceiver

The HPE X140 40G QSFP+ LC LR4L 2KM SM Transceiver is engineered to deliver dependable, scalable 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for data centers, campus backbones, and enterprise networks. Built around the LR4L multi-laser technology, it enables four parallel 10G channels over a single-mode fiber link, consolidating uplinks and inter-switch connections with exceptional reach up to 2 kilometers. This module is designed for seamless integration with HPE networking gear and other LR4L-enabled devices, offering a robust upgrade path for modernizing data paths while preserving existing fiber infrastructure. Whether you’re consolidating uplinks, extending campus connectivity, or scaling your data center fabric, the X140 LR4L transceiver provides the reliability, efficiency, and compatibility you require.

  • 40GBASE-LR4L performance delivers aggregated 40 Gbps across four parallel 10G channels, enabling high-density uplinks and scalable data paths without sacrificing efficiency or simplicity.
  • Long reach on single-mode fiber supports distances up to 2 kilometers, making it ideal for data-center interconnects, campus backbones, and link extensions between buildings or campuses.
  • QSFP+ form factor with LC duplex interface provides a compact, hot-swappable module that fits into standard QSFP+ ports while using a single LC fiber connection for each link, simplifying cabling and rack deployment.
  • Energy-efficient design and reliability leverages optimized optics and forward error correction to minimize power usage and maximize link stability, even in densely populated data centers with high traffic.
  • Cross-vendor compatibility engineered to work with HPE switches, routers, and 40G LR4L-enabled devices, enabling flexible upgrades and interoperable networks across vendors while maintaining performance guarantees.

How to install HPE X140 40G QSFP+ LC LR4L 2KM SM Transceiver

  • Power down the device and any connected equipment before removing or installing the transceiver to prevent damage and ensure safe handling.
  • Verify that your network switch or router port supports 40GBASE-LR4L and that firmware is up to date for LR4L compatibility.
  • Remove the existing module from the QSFP+ port if replacing an old transceiver, handling the module by its edges to avoid damage.
  • Insert the HPE X140 LR4L transceiver into the QSFP+ port until it seats firmly with a satisfying click of the latching mechanism.
  • Connect the LC duplex fiber patch cables to the LC connectors on the transceiver, ensuring proper polarity and alignment, then power on the equipment and verify link status and data throughput via the device’s management interface.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is LR4L and why choose it for 40G?
  • A: LR4L refers to Long Reach 4-lane (LR4) operation with enhanced link performance. It enables 40G Ethernet over single-mode fiber with four parallel 10G channels, offering long-distance connectivity suitable for data centers and interconnects while maintaining compatibility with standard LR4L deployments.
  • Q: Is this transceiver compatible with non-HPE devices?
  • A: Compatibility depends on the device supporting 40GBASE-LR4L and the QSFP+ form factor. Many vendors recognize LR4L-based modules, but it’s best to verify vendor interoperability and firmware requirements for your specific equipment.
  • Q: What kind of fiber do I need?
  • A: The X140 LR4L uses single-mode fiber (SMF). Use appropriate SMF cables with LC duplex connectors to connect to other LR4L-compatible devices.
  • Q: What distance can I expect with this transceiver?
  • A: The transceiver is rated for up to 2 kilometers on SMF, making it suitable for data-center interconnects and campus backbones that require moderate-to-long reach without fiber amplification.
  • Q: How many lanes and what data rate does it support?
  • A: It aggregates four 10G lanes, delivering a total data rate of 40 Gbps (40GBASE-LR4L) through a single QSFP+ module.
