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
