Questions & Answers

What is the Q2F20A-C 100GbE QSFP28 PSM4 2 km transceiver?

The Q2F20A-C is a HPE M-Series–compatible 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 PSM4 optical transceiver designed for single-mode fiber links up to 2 km.

Which HPE M-Series switches support the Q2F20A-C transceiver?

It is fully compatible with HPE Aruba M-Series switches such as the 8400, 8320, 8325 and other QSFP28-enabled M-Series platforms.

What type of fiber does the Q2F20A-C require?

The transceiver requires single-mode fiber (SMF) with an MPO-12 connector for PSM4 parallel optics applications.

What is the maximum reach of the Q2F20A-C transceiver?

It supports optical transmission distances of up to 2 kilometers over single-mode fiber.

Is the Q2F20A-C QSFP28 PSM4 transceiver MSA compliant?

Yes, the Q2F20A-C complies with the QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3bm PSM4 specifications and ensures full interoperability.

What data rate does the Q2F20A-C transceiver support?

It supports 100 Gbps line rate via four 25 Gbps electrical lanes in a compact QSFP28 form factor.

Which connector type is used by the Q2F20A-C?

It uses a standard MPO-12 fiber connector on the optical side and a QSFP28 cage on the host side.

What is the operating temperature range of the Q2F20A-C?

The operating range is 0 °C to 70 °C (32 °F to 158 °F), suitable for data-center environments.

What is the typical power consumption of the Q2F20A-C?

The transceiver consumes less than 3.5 W under standard operating conditions.

How do I install the Q2F20A-C transceiver?

Simply slide the QSFP28 module into the switch port until it clicks and connect the MPO cable to the module’s receptacle.

Can I use the Q2F20A-C in non-HPE switches?

Yes, the Q2F20A-C is multi-vendor compatible with any QSFP28 MSA-compliant switch or router.
