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

Data centers and enterprise networks often need to connect switches and routers over both short multimode and longer single-mode fiber, but mixing different transceivers for each distance adds cost and complexity. The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LM4 compatible QSFP transceiver solves this by supporting both OM4 multimode up to 160 meters and single-mode fiber up to 2 kilometers in a single module.

Who is it for

Network engineers and IT managers who need a reliable 40 Gigabit Ethernet link for Palo Alto Networks equipment, especially when the fiber type or distance may vary between links. It is ideal for data center interconnects, campus backbones, and enterprise core networks.
