BlueOptics Compatible Alcatel-Lucent 40G-QSFP-LM4 QSFP Transceiver, LC-Duplex, 40GBASE-LX4, Multimode OM4 160m, Singlemode 2km, 4xWDM, 0°C to +70°C, DDM 40G-QSFP-LM4-AL-BO

Data centers and enterprise networks often need to bridge short multimode links and longer single-mode runs without changing optics. The BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-LM4-AL-BO solves this by delivering 40 Gigabit Ethernet over both OM4 multimode fiber up to 160 meters and single-mode fiber up to 2 kilometers in a single hot-pluggable QSFP module.

Who is it for

Network engineers and IT managers who operate Alcatel-Lucent switches and need a cost-effective, compatible alternative to the original 40G-QSFP-LM4 transceiver. It is suitable for data center interconnects, enterprise backbone links, and telecom aggregation where mixed fiber types are present.
