🚀 Long-Range 40G Connectivity for Data Center Interconnect | Cisco QSFP-40G-LR4-S=
Reliable 40G Transmission Over Single-Mode Fiber Up to 10km
The Cisco QSFP-40G-LR4-S= is an original 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ optical transceiver designed for long-distance transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF).
Using CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, it transmits 4 independent wavelengths over a duplex LC fiber, enabling distances of up to 10 kilometers, making it ideal for data center interconnect (DCI), metro networks, and enterprise backbone links.
Engineered by Cisco Systems, this module ensures stable, high-performance connectivity across long-distance infrastructure.
🔥 Why This Product Drives High-Value Orders
✔ Need 40G over long distances?
✔ Connecting multiple data centers?
✔ Building metro or backbone networks?
👉 LR4 = the standard choice for long-distance 40G deployment
⚡ SR vs LR vs ER (Buyer Decision Section)
👉 If distance > 150m → LR4 is the right choice
