Ortronics Infinera QSFP+ Module

The Ortronics Infinera QSFP+ Module is a high-performance transceiver designed for optical networks and data networking that demand robust, short-reach 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Built to fit into modern data centers, enterprise backbones, and high-density deployments, this QSFP+ module delivers reliable 40GBASE-SR4 operation over multi-mode fiber with a dense MPO/MTP interface. It is engineered for plug-and-play integration, offering broad interoperability across a wide range of OEM switches, routers, and servers. With in-system testing across more than 90 OEM platforms, the module provides confidence in seamless deployment in mixed-vendor environments and helps minimize network downtime. The 0.15 km maximum distance guarantee makes it ideally suited for intra-data-center connections, rack-to-rack links, and top-of-rack configurations where performance and density are paramount. By combining Ortronics’ trusted design with Infinera’s optical performance, this transceiver supports demanding workloads—from virtualization and cloud computing to real-time analytics and large-scale backups—while maintaining signal integrity and ease of management.

• High-speed 40 Gbps performance supports bandwidth-intensive workloads, including virtualization, large-scale data transfers, backups, and analytics. The SR4 signaling enables multiple parallel data lanes, delivering efficient use of the network backbone for interconnecting core and aggregation layers in modern data centers.
• MPO/MTP connector interface provides dense fiber connectivity, enabling tight patching in racks and cabinets, reducing cabling complexity, and improving airflow and cable management. The module is designed for easy hot-plug insertion and reliable long-term operation in high-density deployments.
• Multi-mode fiber support delivers cost-effective, short-reach connectivity suitable for server-to-switch and spine-to-leaf links within data centers. MMF-based deployments help lower total cost of ownership while delivering consistent performance for intra-facility networks.
• Compact QSFP+ form factor enables high port density without sacrificing performance, allowing more transceivers per rack and simplifying upgrade paths for evolving 40G deployments.
• Broad interoperability: In-system tested across more than 90 OEM switches, routers and servers, ensuring plug-and-play deployment and reliable performance across heterogeneous networks and equipment footprints.
