Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4-S= QSFP+ Transceiver 40GBASE-SR4 S-Class 850 nm MPO-12 Multimode up to 150 m on OM4
Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4-S= — 40G SR4 QSFP+, S-Class
The Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4-S= is the S-class version of Cisco’s 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver: the same 850 nm MPO-12 multimode optics, reaching 100 m on OM3 and 150 m on OM4/OM5, for plain 40G Ethernet links between Cisco switches. It drops the features most data rooms do not use — breakout, FCoE and OM2 support. In practice, multimode optics are the cheaper choice for links inside one building: most server rooms and floor risers already carry OM3 or OM4 fibre, and the module plus a short LC patch cord is all a port needs. Before you order, check the fibre grade printed on the cable jacket and the real length of the run, including patch panels.
