Overview
The 40-Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver module is a hot-swappable, parallel fiber-optical module with four independent optical transmit and receive channels. These channels can terminate in another 40-Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver, or the channels can be broken out to four separate 10-Gigabit SFP+ transceivers. (See Figure 1.) The QSFP+ transceiver module connects the electrical circuitry of the system with either a copper or an optical external network. (See Figure 2 for a view of the optical QSFP+ transceiver.) The transceiver is used primarily in short reach applications in switches, routers, and data center equipment where it provides higher density than SFP+ modules.

Step 8 For optical QSFP+ modules, reinstall the dust plug into the QSFP+ transceivers optical bore until you are ready to attach the network interface cable. Do not remove the dust plug until you are ready to attach the network interface cable.
Attaching the Optical Network Cable
Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, follow these guidelines:
–Keep the protective dust plugs installed in the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and in the transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
–Inspect and clean the MPO connector or the duplex LC connector end faces just before you make any connections. See the Tip following step 2 in the next procedure for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
–Grasp the MPO or the duplex LC connector only by the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
Note The MPO connectors on the 40-Gigabit SR4 and CSR4 QSFP+ transceiver modules are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Note The multiple-fiber push-on (MPO) connectors and the duplex LC connectors on the optical QSFP+ transceivers support network interface cables with either physical contact (PC) or ultra-physical contact (UPC) flat polished face types. The MPO and duplex LC connectors on the optical QSFP+ transceivers do not support network interface cables with an angle-polished contact (APC) face type.
Step 1 Remove the dust plugs from the optical network interface cable MPO connectors. Save the dust plugs for future use.
Step 2 Inspect and clean the MPO or duplex LC connector's fiber-optic end faces. See the Tip below for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
Tip For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, see this URL:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.
