PLANET QSFP-40G-SR4 QSFP+ Transceiver 40GBASE-SR4 850 nm MPO Multimode 100 m OM3 and 150 m OM4 with DDM
PLANET QSFP-40G-SR4 — 40G SR4 QSFP+ on MPO
The PLANET QSFP-40G-SR4 is a 40 Gbit QSFP+ transceiver for multimode fibre: four parallel lanes at 850 nm over an MPO/MTP trunk, reaching 100 m on OM3 and 150 m on OM4, with digital diagnostics. It is the short-reach 40G optic for PLANET switches with QSFP+ ports and for other MSA-compliant 40G ports, used for uplinks and stacking links inside one data room. 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 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.
