Arista QSFP-40G-UNIV Transceiver: Q&A
The Arista QSFP-40G-UNIV is a QSFP 40GbE transceiver with a duplex LC connector that can be used with both multi-mode (MM) and single-mode (SM) fiber. It has 4 channels of 10G multiplexed inside the module to transmit and receive an aggregate 40G signal over 2 strands of fiber. It is called Universal because of its ability to operate with both MM and SM fiber without the need for any software/hardware changes to the module or any additional hardware in the network.
