Detailed Specifications
HPE Q1H70A 40 Gb QSFP+ Bi-Directional Transceiver Module
Overview
The HPE Q1H70A is a hot-pluggable QSFP+ optical transceiver designed for high-density data-centre uplinks where maximizing fibre utilization is critical. It supports 40 Gbps full-duplex using a bidirectional (BiDi) optical link through an LC-duplex connector, enabling reuse of existing duplex multimode fibre cabling and lowering deployment costs. This module is suitable for switching or router uplinks, server-to-switch links, or spine-leaf fabrics in enterprise or cloud environments. It fits into standard QSFP+ slots on HPE networking hardware and integrates with the management plane to provide monitoring of optical diagnostics.
Key Features
Up to 40 Gbps full-duplex data rate in QSFP+ form-factor
Bi-directional (BiDi) operation over duplex fibre using LC-duplex connector
Supports standard multimode fibre cabling for cost-efficient upgrade
Digital optical monitoring (DOM) for real-time diagnostics of the transceiver
Hot-pluggable module simplifies upgrades and minimizes downtime
