BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-AO-BO network transceiver module 40 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-AO-BO is a QSFP form-factor fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Mbit/s optical links over single‑mode fiber. It operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm, uses an MPO/MTP connector according to MSA standards and is manufactured to provide long operational life with a stated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. The module is lightweight (approximately 40 g) and intended for use in network equipment that accepts QSFP transceivers.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver implements the QSFP interface and follows MSA-defined mechanical and electrical specifications to promote interoperability with compatible switches, routers and storage platforms. It supports simultaneous send/receive optical channels through MPO/MTP connectivity and includes support for digital diagnostics monitoring when the host hardware exposes DDM/DOM functions. The module is built from selected components intended to ensure stable optical performance and extended service life.

Suitable for

• 40 Mbit/s Ethernet links over single‑mode fiber
• Interconnects between QSFP-capable switches and routers
• Optical uplinks for storage systems and aggregation devices
• Environments requiring MPO/MTP connectivity and MSA compliance

• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector type: MPO/MTP (MSA compatible)
• Fiber type: Single‑mode fiber
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the transceiver into a QSFP port on compatible network hardware following the equipment manufacturer’s hot‑swap and handling guidelines. Connect an MPO/MTP single‑mode fiber patch cord to the module’s connector, ensure the remote device is configured for the corresponding optical interface and verify link status through the host device management. If available, enable or query the digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) in the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power and module temperature.

Recommendations

Inspect fiber connectors and transceiver endfaces before mating, use compatible MPO/MTP single‑mode patch cords, and confirm that the host hardware supports the module’s QSFP interface and DDM/DOM features to achieve intended performance and monitoring capabilities.
