Brocade compatible E40G-QSFP-LR4-8 Description

EdgeOptic's E40G-QSFP-LR4-8 compatible is a Ruckus and Brocade coded version of the EdgeOptic 40G-QSFP-10 multi-vendor 40GBASE-LR4 transceiver. E40G-QSFP-LR4-8 is the Ruckus and CommScope eight-pack ordering code for the E40G-QSFP-LR4 QSFP+ module; the suffix denotes a quantity of eight units, not a hardware variant. EdgeOptic sells these units individually, each one a compatible match for the E40G-QSFP-LR4 specification, so the per-unit price applies and you order only the quantity you need.

Each unit carries four CWDM lanes at 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm onto a single duplex LC pair over single-mode fiber to 10 km, to IEEE 802.3ba Clause 87 for 40GBASE-LR4 with a 6.6 dB average link budget. Per-lane optics use a DFB laser at −6 to +3 dBm launch and a PIN photodiode rated −12.6 dBm sensitivity per lane and +3 dBm overload. The module meets the QSFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 and INF-8438i, operates across 0 to 70 °C, and reports DOM/DDM diagnostics.

The E40G-QSFP-LR4-8 ordering code is used when procuring multiple units for Ruckus and Brocade Ethernet deployments. The module is designed for Ruckus and Brocade Ethernet switching platforms, including the ICX 7000 campus series and the VDX and SLX data-center fabric switches. Verify the part against the Ruckus and CommScope transceiver compatibility guide for the target chassis.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For bulk quantities or deployment questions, contact our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -8 in Ruckus E40G-QSFP-LR4-8 mean?

The -8 is the Ruckus and CommScope eight-pack ordering code: ordering E40G-QSFP-LR4-8 from the OEM ships eight E40G-QSFP-LR4 transceivers. It is a quantity designator, not a different optic. EdgeOptic sells compatible units individually for this same specification, so you can buy any quantity rather than a fixed pack of eight.
