Key Features

40GBASE-LR4 optical Ethernet interface
QSFP+ form factor with duplex LC connector
Up to 10 km reach on single-mode fiber
Four optical wavelength channels over two fiber strands
TAA-compliant designation
Carry 40 GbE over duplex single-mode fiber for links up to 10 km.

Extend 40 Gigabit Ethernet beyond the short reaches of direct-attach and parallel-fiber connections with a QSFP+ LR4 optic for single-mode fiber. This module converts a 40 GbE switch or adapter QSFP+ interface to duplex LC optical cabling, carrying four wavelength channels over a two-fiber path. The LR4 interface supports link distances up to 10 km, making it relevant to building-to-building, campus-core, and separated data-center zones. Axiom Memory AXG96985 is a 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ transceiver for HP environments. Insert it into a compatible QSFP+ port and connect duplex single-mode LC fiber; unlike short-reach multimode optics, LR4 keeps the fiber count at two strands while supporting long-distance 40 GbE transport. That makes it suitable where existing single-mode backbone cabling must connect aggregation switches, core layers, or high-bandwidth server networks. Within 40 GbE QSFP+ optics, LR4 identifies long-reach, single-mode operation rather than short-reach multimode or copper connectivity. The module is TAA compliant, an important selection attribute for installations that require that designation. Select it when both endpoints present compatible QSFP+ interfaces and the installed path is duplex single-mode fiber within the 10 km LR4 reach.

Ideal For

40 GbE campus backbone between buildings using existing duplex single-mode fiber.
Data-center core-to-aggregation links that exceed short-reach multimode fiber distance limits.
Long-distance switch or adapter connections with available QSFP+ ports and LC single-mode cabling.

Why This Product

1Uses LR4 optics for long-reach single-mode fiber links up to 10 km.
2Connects through duplex LC fiber rather than multi-fiber parallel-optic cabling.
3Carries 40 GbE over two fiber strands using four optical wavelengths.
4Adds a TAA-compliant designation for deployments requiring that attribute.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with AXG96985?▾

AXG96985 supplies one 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ optical transceiver module. It installs in a compatible QSFP+ port and connects to duplex LC single-mode fiber. Fiber patch cables, endpoint hardware, and other network components are separate items.

What fiber type does the AXG96985 transceiver require?▾

This LR4 transceiver operates over duplex single-mode fiber with LC connectors. The two-fiber design supports long-distance 40 GbE transport, unlike parallel-optic connections that require multiple fiber pairs or short-reach multimode infrastructure.

How far can a 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ link reach?▾

A 40GBASE-LR4 connection supports distances up to 10 km on suitable duplex single-mode fiber. Actual link operation also depends on compatible QSFP+ endpoints, correctly terminated LC cabling, optical loss across the path, and clean connectors.

What does TAA compliant mean for this transceiver?▾

TAA compliant identifies the module as meeting the Trade Agreements Act designation stated for this product. Organizations with acquisition requirements tied to TAA eligibility can use that designation when evaluating optical connectivity components for their network infrastructure.
