Description The D-Link 40G QSFP+ Module Series are hot-swappable transceivers that plug into QSFP+ ports on switches to provide 40 Gb/s Ethernet networks. These transceivers offer users extensive connectivity to 40-Gigabit Ethernet networks and are designed for data centers, switch rooms, and telecom service providers.
Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) format The transceivers use the Quad Small Form-Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) form factor, which integrates four transmit channels and four receive channels. The QSFP+ form factor supports speeds up to 10.5 Gbps per channel for 40G Ethernet networks.
Hot plug All D-Link transceivers are hot pluggable. Connecting the transceiver to a powered device will not cause any problems, and replacing the transceiver will not require the Switch to be rebooted. This allows transceivers to be connected or disconnected without disrupting the rest of the network, facilitating maintenance and greatly reducing downtime.
Speed 40 Gbps The transceivers are designed to operate on 40-gigabit Ethernet networks, which allows for very fast data transfer. A 40x increase over 1 Gbps allows the switch to process data streams faster and in greater volume, thus meeting the requirements of business-class networks.
