BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-BIDI-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic QSFP 100m

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-BIDI-BO is a fiber optic network transceiver module designed for high-speed 40G data transmission over multimode fiber. It uses a QSFP interface with LC Duplex connectivity and supports a maximum link distance of up to 100 metres. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 0.04 kg, the module follows MSA-compatible form factors and is intended for integration into network equipment that accepts compatible QSFP transceivers.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver delivers 40G optical throughput in a compact, lightweight aluminium enclosure that supports multimode fiber links to 100 m. The module provides bidirectional transmission on a single fibre pair via LC Duplex connectors and is designed to meet common MSA mechanical and electrical specifications for QSFP interfaces. Its small size and standard interface simplify installation and replacement in data centre switches, routers and storage systems while maintaining predictable physical characteristics and connectivity behaviour.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre interconnects and switch-to-switch links
• Server and storage uplinks requiring 40G throughput over multimode fiber
• Optical upgrades where QSFP interfaces are supported

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 100 m over multimode fiber
• Connector type: LC Duplex
• Data rate: 40 Gbit/s
• Transmitter / receiver wavelength range: multimode optics supporting bidirectional operation within the specified multimode band
• Housing material and colour: aluminium / aluminium finish
• Weight: approximately 0.04 kg

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible QSFP port on network hardware while the device is powered down or following the equipment manufacturer’s hot-swap guidance. Connect LC Duplex multimode fiber patch cords between the module and the corresponding LC ports on the opposite transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct polarity for bidirectional operation. Configure the host device to recognise and enable the 40G interface according to the switch or router vendor instructions. Confirm link status and monitor optical parameters if the host supports digital diagnostics.

Recommendations

Use quality multimode LC Duplex patch cords and route fibers to avoid tight bends or physical stress on connectors. Verify that the target hardware supports MSA-compliant QSFP transceivers and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) to observe supply voltage, transmit and receive power, laser bias and temperature for ongoing link health monitoring.
