BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-AT-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 40 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-AT-BO is a fiber optic network transceiver module designed for QSFP interfaces with a rated maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1310 nm. The module is intended for single-mode fiber links, features an MPO/MTP-style multi-fiber connector according to MSA conventions and is offered as an individual unit with a product weight of approximately 40 g and package weight of 50 g. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, it targets long operational availability in compatible network hardware.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compatible QSFP mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with systems that accept QSFP transceivers. It integrates optical transmit and receive functions at 1310 nm for bidirectional optical links and includes design elements that support long operational life and reliability. The compact QSFP form factor allows high-density port deployment and straightforward hot-pluggable replacement in supported switches, routers and storage interfaces.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbit/s single-mode fiber uplinks and interconnects in data center and enterprise networks
• Integration into QSFP-compatible switches, routers and storage systems that accept MSA QSFP modules
• Applications requiring long MTBF and stable optical transmission over fiber runs

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector type: MPO/MTP-style multi-fiber connector (MSA-compatible)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Module weight: approx. 0.04 kg
• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-AT-BO by inserting the QSFP transceiver into a QSFP-enabled port on compatible network equipment while the system is powered according to the host manufacturer’s guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Connect an appropriate MPO/MTP single-mode fiber patch cable between transceivers or to a patch panel, ensuring fiber polarity and connector alignment are correct. Confirm the host device recognizes the module and that link lamps or management interfaces indicate an active connection at the expected data rate. Follow standard procedures for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and handle the fiber ends and connectors to avoid contamination.

Recommendations

Verify that the target switch, router or storage system supports MSA-compliant QSFP transceivers and the specific optical parameters (single-mode, 1310 nm) before deployment. Use quality single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and maintain clean connectors to preserve signal integrity. Where available, enable digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) on the host to monitor supply voltage, optical power and temperature for preventive maintenance.
