Cisco CVR-QSFP-SFP10G QSFP to SFP/SFP+ Adapter Module

The Cisco CVR-QSFP-SFP10G is a QSFP to SFP or SFP+ Adapter (QSA) Module – a hot-swappable converter that plugs into a 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ port and presents a single SFP/SFP+ cage, letting that port run at 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 1 Gigabit Ethernet instead of 40G. Per Cisco's data sheet, it supports the full range of SFP+ optics and cables – including SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, SFP-10G-ER, SFP-10G-ZR, DWDM-SFP10G, FET-10G, and 10G SFP+ copper & active-optical cables from 1–10 m – plus select 1GbE SFP modules such as GLC-T and the GLC-SX/LH/EX/ZX family (1GbE optics run over the QSA without autonegotiation). The module measures 13.5 × 18.4 × 78 mm, weighs under 100 g, and is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation with –40°C to 85°C storage – suited to populating an empty 40G QSFP+ uplink port with a lower-speed SFP+ or SFP link, as documented for Cisco Catalyst 9500/9600 Series switches and other QSFP-capable platforms.

The part number encodes the function directly: CVR designates a converter, QSFP identifies the 40G host port it plugs into, and SFP10G identifies the SFP/SFP+ client port it exposes, capped at 10 Gbps. CVR-QSFP-SFP10G is Cisco's standard, non-suffixed ordering code for the module itself; the CVR-QSFP-SFP10G= variant is the equivalent spare/RMA SKU. This listing is for the bare QSA adapter module only – no SFP or SFP+ transceiver is included.
