With VCSEL transmitter technology, QSFP-40G-SR4-S converts parallel electrical input signals into four optical transmit lanes through a laser array. A PIN receiver architecture internally converts incoming parallel optical signals into host electrical outputs across four receive lanes. TX power range spans -7.6 dBm to 2.4 dBm per lane for average transmit output across all lanes. RX sensitivity reaches -9.5 dBm per lane as the minimum average receive power specification for each lane. RX overload point reaches 2.4 dBm per lane as the maximum average receive power specification for each lane. With 64b/66b encoding, the module aligns with 40GBASE-R physical coding behavior for Ethernet signaling across the interface. IEEE 802.3ba, SFF-8436, QSFP MSA, GR-20-CORE, GR-326-CORE, and GR-1435-CORE govern module compliance requirements. With 3.3V supply voltage, the host electrical interface follows the standard module power rail for active operation. At 1.5 W power consumption, the module stays within the documented QSFP cabling specification for powered optics.
Cisco Nexus 9000, Nexus 7000, Nexus 6000, Nexus 5000, and Nexus 3000 product families support this module. Additionally, Cisco Catalyst 9500, ASR 9000, NCS 5500, and UCS 6300 product families support this module. Data center leaf-spine fabrics, enterprise core layers, high-performance computing networks, and service provider edge platforms deploy this optic. OM4 and OM5 cable grades satisfy the longest documented cabling requirement for qualified short-reach installations.

The QSFP-40G-SR4-S operates as a native 40 Gigabit link between leaf and spine switches inside a short-reach fabric. The QSFP+ module uses four 850 nm multimode lanes over a 12-fiber MPO/MTP connection, supporting 100 m on OM3 and 150 m on OM4 or OM5 laser-optimized fiber. Engineers cable QSFP+ ports directly through parallel-fiber trunks and configure the link as routed underlay or fabric port-channel between tiers. The fabric gains predictable 40G east-west capacity within the data hall while preserving the planned leaf-spine hierarchy.
QSFP-40G-SR4-S fits server access aggregation where top-of-rack switches uplink to an aggregation pair over structured multimode fiber. The 40GBASE-SR4 interface runs on MPO-12 parallel MMF, with four optical lanes carrying the aggregate 40 Gigabit connection across OM3, OM4, or OM5 cabling within the Cisco reach profile. The top-of-rack configuration sends routed underlay links, storage VLAN trunks, or MLAG peer-facing traffic toward aggregation. The access aggregation tier gains a short-reach 40G uplink without changing the installed parallel-fiber patching model or switch hierarchy.
In a data hall cross-connect, the QSFP-40G-SR4-S links two QSFP+ switch ports through MPO/MTP patch panels and parallel multimode trunks. The 850 nm SR4 optic keeps the run inside the supported 100 m OM3 or 150 m OM4/OM5 distance, and the switch configuration treats the circuit as a single 40G Ethernet link. Operations teams document lane polarity, MPO type, and optical readings during turn-up to prevent cross-connect errors. The cross-connect gains a defined short-reach 40G circuit across the structured cabling plant.

The module uses a 12-fiber MPO/MTP connector for parallel optics, enabling four 10 Gbps lanes.
The Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4-S is a 40 Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver module for short-reach connections over multimode fibre. It uses four parallel 850nm optical lanes to deliver 40G aggregate throughput over MPO-connected OM3 or OM4 multimode fibre, reaching up to 100 metres on OM3 and 150 metres on OM4. The module includes DOM support and is widely deployed in data centres for high-speed short-reach switch-to-server and switch-to-switch connections.
SR stands for Short Reach, the IEEE designation for short-distance multimode fibre operation at 850nm. The 4 indicates four parallel optical lanes, each carrying 10 Gbps, which together provide 40 Gbps aggregate throughput. The S suffix, consistent with other Cisco S-variant modules such as the SFP-10G-LR-S, indicates the module was produced by a specific Cisco-approved manufacturing source. The QSFP-40G-SR4-S is functionally identical to the QSFP-40G-SR4 on supported Cisco platforms.
Yes, the QSFP-40G-SR4-S is a genuine Cisco-branded module. The S suffix indicates a Cisco-approved manufacturing source, the same convention used for the SFP-10G-LR-S and other S-variant Cisco optics. It carries Cisco firmware encoding, operates without triggering third-party optic warnings on Cisco hardware, and is covered under Cisco's standard hardware warranty. It is not a compatible or clone module; it is an authentic Cisco product from a specific approved supply chain source
