FAQ About 40G QSFP+ ER4

How can I buy 40G QSFP ER4 transceiver online?

You can purchase a 40G QSFP-ER4 transceiver online directly from reputable optics vendors such as Fibrecross, We deliver high-quality, high-speed modules backed by strong R&D, global certifications, and tailored OEM/ODM support—built for performance, built for trust.

What is the 40G QSFP ER4 1310nm single mode 40km wavelength and reach?

The 40G QSFP-ER4 operates at a center wavelength of 1310 nm over single-mode fiber (G.652) and supports link distances up to 40 km without intermediate amplification . This makes it ideal for core data center interconnects and metro applications requiring long-haul optical transmission . This makes it ideal for core data center interconnects and metro applications requiring long-haul optical transmission.

How do I ensure low power 40G QSFP ER4 module operation in thermal-sensitive environments?

The standard QSFP-ER4 module typically dissipates up to 3.5 W, but it supports an LPMode pin to further limit power consumption when enabled, reducing thermal load on the host system . Always verify vendor data sheets for “typical power dissipation” and engage LPMode in your switch or router configuration to guarantee lower-power operation . 

How can I access the 40G QSFP ER4 digital diagnostics monitoring interface?

QSFP-ER4 modules implement a standardized I²C-based Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) interface defined by the QSFP+ MSA, exposing real-time parameters such as Tx/Rx power, temperature, supply voltage, and bias current . Use your host’s optics-management command set to query these DDM registers programmatically .
