Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The MTP/MPO-12 Male interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 40G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP+ housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

The multimode channel should use the fiber grade associated with the stated 150m on OM4 / 100m on OM3 reach. Keep the MTP/MPO-12 Male end faces clean and avoid tight bends. Different multimode standards are not interchangeable merely because they share a connector.

NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatibility and Factory Testing

Factory verification starts with the expected MC2210411-SR4 identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -7.6~2.4dBm; receiver sensitivity is <-5.4dBm. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Structured Fiber Pathways and Serviceability

Treat the transceiver as part of the complete channel. Follow the intended patch-panel route, maintain bend control and leave service access around the port. Confirm connector polish and fiber type at every mated pair; a documented service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 41.25Gbps, wavelength 850nm, rated reach 150m on OM4 / 100m on OM3.

Ordering Information

Use MC2210411-SR4 as the compatibility cross-reference and QSFP-SR4-40G as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
