F5 Networks compatible F5-UPG-QSFP+LR4 Description
EdgeOptic's F5-UPG-QSFP+LR4 compatible is an F5 Networks-coded version of the EdgeOptic 40G-QSFP-10 multi-vendor 40GBASE-LR4 transceiver. F5 lists F5-UPG-QSFP+LR4 as a field-upgrade QSFP+ optic kit for BIG-IP appliances, and EdgeOptic's module ships with EEPROM that BIG-IP recognizes so the optic comes up as a matched 40G-LR4 port rather than an unrecognized part.
The optic carries 40GBASE-LR4 across four CWDM channels at 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm, multiplexed onto a single duplex LC/UPC connection over single-mode fiber to 10 km. A DFB laser drives each lane at −6 to +3 dBm, and a PIN photodiode receiver holds −12.6 dBm sensitivity per lane with a +3 dBm overload limit, giving an average link budget of 6.6 dB. The module runs NRZ signaling per IEEE 802.3ba Clause 87, follows the QSFP+ MSA, INF-8438i and SFF-8436, and supports DOM across the 0 to 70 °C range.
F5-UPG-QSFP+LR4 is the broader BIG-IP field-upgrade ordering code, covering the older 2000, 4000, 5000, 7000, 8900 and 8950 chassis alongside the 10000, 11000, 12000, i-series, r-series and VIPRION blade platforms. It shares the OPT-0030-xx hardware part number with the VELOS-specific F5-UPG-VEL-QSFP+LR4 ordering code, so match the SKU to the platform your chassis documentation calls out and verify against the F5 transceiver guide for your BIG-IP or VELOS version before deploying.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the F5-UPG-QSFP+LR4 compatible optic trigger an unsupported-optic event on BIG-IP?
EdgeOptic codes the module with F5-recognized EEPROM so BIG-IP reads it as a standard F5-UPG-QSFP+LR4 40G-LR4 optic. F5 scopes TAC support to F5-branded transceivers under KB K8153, so if a fault is traced to the optic, confirm support coverage against your F5 service terms and verify the transceiver against the F5 hardware guide for your platform and TMOS version.
Should I order F5-UPG-QSFP+LR4 or F5-UPG-VEL-QSFP+LR4 for my chassis?
Both share the OPT-0030-xx hardware and are optically identical 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ optics. F5-UPG-QSFP+LR4 is the broader BIG-IP field-upgrade code spanning the legacy 2000 through 12000 chassis plus the i-series, r-series and VIPRION blades. F5-UPG-VEL-QSFP+LR4 is the VELOS-specific field-upgrade code. Match the ordering code F5 lists for your exact chassis in its transceiver table; for VELOS deployments, order the VEL variant.
