Description

This BladeSystem c-Class QSFP+ to SFP+ Adapter (QSA) enables a 10GbE SFP+ transceiver or DAC to be used in a 40GbE QSFP+ uplink on supported HPE BladeSystem c-Class interconnects. It is a passive, hot-pluggable mechanical adapterno external power or signal conversion required. Perfect for mixed-speed environments, it lets you downshift a QSFP+ port to 10GbE to match legacy links, reduce costs, and avoid port underutilisation. Backed by HPE warranty support when purchased through authorised channels. Upgrade your network with gear from iptrading.com.au Australia's IT hardware specialists.

Features

- Cost-effective downspeeding from QSFP+ to a single 10GbE link

FAQs

Q: What does this QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter do?
A: It allows a 10GbE SFP+ transceiver or SFP+ DAC cable to be inserted into a QSFP+ port, enabling a single 10GbE link from that port on supported HPE BladeSystem c-Class interconnects.

Q: Does this convert 40GbE to 10GbE on any QSFP+ port?
A: No. The QSFP+ port must support QSA operation/downspeed to 10GbE. When supported, the link runs at 10GbE using a single lane.

Q: Is this the same as a 4x10GbE breakout solution?
A: No. This adapter presents one SFP+ interface for a single 10GbE link. It is not a 4x10G breakout and does not provide multiple 10G links.

Q: Can I use SFP+ DAC or SR/LR optics with it?
A: Yes, use HPE-qualified SFP+ DAC or optical modules supported by your interconnect. Maximum distance depends on the specific SFP+ module or cable used.

Q: Is the adapter active or does it require power?
A: It is a passive, hot-pluggable mechanical adapter and requires no external power.

Q: Can I purchase this in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading supplies genuine HPE options in Australia and can provide tax invoices, fast shipping, and local support.
