BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LR4-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic QSFP LC Aluminium 40g

The BlueOptics PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LR4-BO is a fiber optic QSFP transceiver module engineered for long-range 40G data transmission. It uses an LC duplex connector and conforms to MSA signalling for plug-and-play installation in compatible QSFP ports. The module is housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighs approximately 0.04 kg, providing a compact, lightweight solution for data centers and enterprise network equipment that require 40GBASE-LR4 links over single-mode fiber.

Advantages

This QSFP 40GBASE-LR4 transceiver supports long-reach single-mode fiber links and is designed to work with equipment that accepts MSA-compliant QSFP modules. The LC duplex interface allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels on separate fibers. The aluminium housing delivers a durable, lightweight form factor while maintaining thermal stability. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatibility facilitates remote measurement of key operating parameters when supported by the host hardware.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Long-distance single-mode fiber links in data centers and campus networks
• High-speed interconnects for storage and compute clusters
• Replacement or expansion modules for MSA-compliant QSFP ports

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 40 Gbps (40GBASE-LR4 applications)
• Connector type: LC duplex optical connector
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: ~0.04 kg
• Supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) when enabled by host

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port according to the host equipment manufacturer’s guidance. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC connector, ensuring transmit and receive channels match the remote endpoint. Verify link parameters on the host device and confirm that digital diagnostic monitoring is enabled in the system software if real-time status reporting is required. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and keep protective caps on unused connectors until cabling is complete.

Recommendations

For best long-range performance, use quality single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, observe proper polarity and connector cleanliness, and ensure the host device supports 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP modules. Check compatibility with your network hardware and enable DDM/DOM in supported systems for ongoing monitoring of operating parameters.
