What is QSFP?

QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for data communications applications. It supports data rates from 40 Gbps to 400 Gbps and beyond, by aggregating multiple high-speed channels. QSFP transceivers are commonly used in switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs) to connect high-bandwidth devices in data centers and telecommunications networks.

QSFP Competitor Technologies

SFP

SFP is a similar form factor transceiver module, but generally supports lower data rates than QSFP. Therefore, it competes with QSFP in applications where the higher bandwidth of QSFP is not required.

QSFP Complementary Technologies

I2C

I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a communication protocol often used for low-speed communication between components within a system. QSFP modules often use I2C for management and control functions, making it a complementary technology.
