Axiom 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ Transceiver for NetApp X65401

Support short-reach 40 GbE links with an optical module designed for multimode fiber environments. The Axiom X65401 QSFP+ transceiver uses the 40GBASE-SR4 standard to move traffic across high-density switch fabrics, storage networks, and aggregation layers where copper is too limiting and long-haul optics are unnecessary. Operating at 850 nm, this transceiver is built for multimode deployments that prioritize cost control, port density, and straightforward interoperability in enterprise racks. QSFP+ form factor keeps the footprint compact, while the SR4 architecture is a strong fit for short-distance links between switches, storage arrays, and compute nodes. For teams standardizing on NetApp-compatible optics, this module offers a practical path to 40 GbE connectivity without overbuying reach or complexity. It is the right choice when the network design calls for short, stable optical transport and the economics of a purpose-built transceiver matter more than generic alternatives.
