BlueOptics BO25KIC602D-BO QSFP 40GBASE-LX4 Transceiver, LC-Duplex, 160m OM4 / 2km SMF, 4xWDM, 0-70°C, DDM

High-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet links over existing multimode fiber often stop at 150 meters—until now. The BlueOptics BO25KIC602D-BO QSFP transceiver extends 40GBASE-LX4 connectivity to 160 meters on OM4 multimode fiber, and up to 2 kilometers on single-mode fiber, using a single LC-Duplex connector. Its 4-channel WDM design multiplexes four 10G wavelengths onto one fiber pair, eliminating the need for MPO/MTP cabling and enabling smooth upgrades from 10G to 40G in enterprise and data center networks.

Who is it for

Network engineers and data center operators who need cost-effective 40G links over existing duplex fiber infrastructure. Ideal for campus backbones, server-to-switch connections, and short-reach interconnects where MPO cabling is impractical or too expensive.
