Tripp Lite Cisco-Compatible QSFP+ Transceiver, 40GBase-PLR4, Singlemode MPO/MTP, 1310 nm, 10 km (6.2 mi.)

The Tripp Lite N286-40G-PLR4 is a Cisco compatible QSFP+ transceiver that moves data at 40 Gbps over singlemode fiber links as long as 10 kilometers. It plugs straight into an open QSFP+ slot on a switch, server, or router and mates with an MPO or MTP cable, giving network teams a fast way to add high-capacity connections in data centers, enterprise cores, and campus backbones.

The module is fully hot swappable, so you can install or replace it without taking equipment offline. It operates in the 1260 to 1360 nm window, centered on 1310 nm, which pairs well with standard singlemode fiber. A zinc housing helps shield the optics from electromagnetic interference, keeping signals stable even in dense rack environments.

Compliance with the Multi-Source Agreement means the N286-40G-PLR4 works on any MSA-compliant platform. It is functionally equivalent to the Cisco QSFP-4X10G-LR-S, so Cisco users can drop it in with confidence while still enjoying an option that fits multivendor networks. Whether you need to extend a 40 Gbps uplink across a campus, aggregate breakout links, or keep spare optics on hand for quick swaps, this transceiver offers a reliable, standards-based solution.
