Intel representative if you require sample units (where available).
2.5.1 E810-CQDA2T Support for PSM4 Modules Including Breakout
Cables
To install the Intel 100G PSM4 Optical Transceiver:
1. Locate the QSFP28 cage slot on the host or switch equipment.
2. With the optical module oriented with the pull-tab on top, firmly push the optical transceiver into
the QSFP28 cage slot on the host or switch equipment.
3. For QSFP28 modules with an optical receptacle-type connector, plug the optical connector of the
fiber optic cable into the optical connector receptacle of the QSFP28 module. For pigtailed products,
plug the fiber connector on the end of the pigtail into the mating connector of the patch panel or
fiber jumper of the data center fiber plant.
To remove the Intel 100G PSM4 Optical Transceiver:
1. Disconnect the optical fiber from the module's optical receptacle connector (for receptacle modules)
or the optical fiber pigtail from the mating connector (for pigtailed modules).
2. Using the pull tab, pull the module perpendicular to the equipment faceplate until the transceiver is
free of the QSFP28 cage slot.

Notes about PSM4 transceivers:
• Parallel Single Mode 4-Channel (PSM4) is a type of single-mode transceiver using parallel fiber designs consisting of four
channels.
• The E810-CQDA2T adapter can connect two PSM4 transceivers and provide a total of eight 10 GbE signals via an MPO breakout
cable. The Intel PSM4 transceiver has gone through extensive Intel qualification and is certified for use with the E810-CQDA2T.
