The Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP+) is a compact, hot-pluggable, protocol-independent transceiver used for data communications applications. It interfaces a network device (switch, router, media converter or similar device) to a fiber optic cable. It is a industry format jointly developed and supported by many network component vendors. QSFP+ transceivers are designed to support Serial Attached SCSI, 40G Ethernet, 20G/40G Infiniband, and other communications standards. 850nm (short reach - SR) and 1310 nm (long reach - LR) QSFP+ transceiver modules are supported.
