BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP+BD-BO network transceiver module 40000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP+BD-BO network transceiver module provides high-speed fiber optic connectivity with a rated maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s. Designed for use with F5 Networks equipment and systems that accept QSFP modules, this transceiver offers a compact QSFP interface in a stainless steel housing for mechanical durability and compatibility with standard QSFP ports.

Advantages

The module supports up to 40 Gbit/s throughput over fiber, enabling aggregation and high-bandwidth connections in data center or carrier environments. The QSFP interface ensures hot-pluggable installation and broad interoperability with switches and routers that support QSFP form factors. The stainless steel enclosure provides resistance to mechanical wear and helps maintain connector alignment and thermal stability during operation.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth uplinks and server-to-switch connections
• Data center aggregation and spine-leaf fabrics
• Carrier and enterprise fiber links
• Upgrading F5 Networks equipment to QSFP-based 40 Gbit/s ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data rate: 40000 Mbit/s (40 Gbit/s)
• Housing material/colour: stainless steel
• Form factor: QSFP pluggable module

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP module into a compatible QSFP port on supported networking equipment while the device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations for hot-pluggable transceivers. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the module's optical interface, ensuring correct connector type and polarity. Verify link status via the host device management interface and monitor for proper signal levels and error rates after installation.

Recommendations

Match the module to the host device's QSFP compatibility list and use fiber cabling that meets the required specifications for 40 Gbit/s links. Handle the module by its edges, keep optical connectors clean with appropriate cleaning tools, and store unused transceivers with protective caps to prevent contamination.
