CBO compatible QSFP 40G multimode transceiver QSFP-40GE-M150-BO, 40 Gbps, 850 nm, QSFP+

The CBO compatible QSFP 40G multimode transceiver QSFP-40GE-M150-BO is a hot-pluggable QSFP+ module engineered for short-reach 40 Gigabit Ethernet links in data center and campus environments. Using 850 nm VCSEL optics, this multimode transceiver supports an aggregate data rate of 40 Gbps over multimode fiber and fits standard QSFP ports to provide high-density 40G connectivity and interoperability with compatible switches and routers.

Advantages

This QSFP+ transceiver offers a compact QSFP form factor that enables high port density in network equipment while supporting hot-pluggable installation for maintenance without powering down systems. Designed for multimode fiber and 850 nm VCSEL optics, it delivers low-latency, short-reach connectivity suitable for server interconnects and spine-leaf topologies. The module is compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP form-factor modules and follows standard electrical and optical characteristics for reliable operation.

How to use

Install the QSFP+ module into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or server transceiver cage until it seats firmly and the retention latch engages. Connect the multimode fiber cable with the appropriate MPO/MTP or LC breakout (depending on the cabling topology) following the equipment vendor’s optical connection guidelines. Monitor link status via the host device management interface and verify signal integrity and error counters after installation. To remove the module, disengage the latch and pull the transceiver straight out to avoid damaging the port or module.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber compliant with the required OM grade for the intended reach, maintain clean optical connectors, and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. Verify compatibility with the host device and firmware to ensure proper link negotiation and performance.
