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.
It is fully compatible with HPE Aruba M-Series switches such as the 8400, 8320, 8325 and other QSFP28-enabled M-Series platforms.
The transceiver requires single-mode fiber (SMF) with an MPO-12 connector for PSM4 parallel optics applications.
It supports optical transmission distances of up to 2 kilometers over single-mode fiber.
Yes, the Q2F20A-C complies with the QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3bm PSM4 specifications and ensures full interoperability.
It supports 100 Gbps line rate via four 25 Gbps electrical lanes in a compact QSFP28 form factor.
It uses a standard MPO-12 fiber connector on the optical side and a QSFP28 cage on the host side.
The operating range is 0 °C to 70 °C (32 °F to 158 °F), suitable for data-center environments.
The transceiver consumes less than 3.5 W under standard operating conditions.
Simply slide the QSFP28 module into the switch port until it clicks and connect the MPO cable to the module’s receptacle.
Yes, the Q2F20A-C is multi-vendor compatible with any QSFP28 MSA-compliant switch or router.
It comes with a standard one-year limited warranty backed by technical support and replacement service.
Use an optical power meter and a 100 Gbps test system to verify loss, power budget and bit-error-rate compliance.
PSM4 delivers cost-effective, high-density 100 Gbps over single-mode fiber with low power and proven MSA interoperability.
PSM4 uses parallel single-mode fiber for up to 2 km reach, while SR4 uses parallel multimode fiber for shorter distances (up to 100 m).
Use an MPO-12 single-mode trunk cable with LC fan-out or direct MPO-to-MPO patch cables rated for 2 km SMF PSM4.
Yes, the QSFP28 PSM4 module is hot-pluggable, allowing insertion and removal without powering down the switch.
