DELL QSA-QSFP28-SFP28 Module Sample Report

DELL has model QSA-QSFP28-SFP28 module products, you can convert QSFP ports to SFP ports to use, Moduletek Limited Labs tested the product samples, to facilitate further understanding of the product's actual machine use effect.

1. Product Description

DELL QSA-QSFP28-SFP28 is a QSFP to SFP converter that supports 40G to 10G and 100G to 25G. The official key parameters and physical appearance of the module are as follows:

2. Module identification

Taking DELL S5224F-ON switch as an example, we tested 10G LR module accessing QSA-QSFP28-SFP28 product to convert QSFP+ 40G to SFP+ 10G rate, and 25G SR accessing QSA-QSFP28-SFP28 product to convert QSFP28 100G to SFP28 25G rate.

First of all, you need to configure the QSFP interface to one-part-four mode, i.e., 4x10G or 4x25G. connect the QSA-QSFP28-SFP28 product with the SFP optical module to the configured QSFP interface.

The SFP module can LINK normally, and the port indicator lights up; the module information can be recognized normally by the switch, such as the module type, model number, serial number, and so on; the DOM data are all within the threshold range, and there is no alarm phenomenon.
