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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-CI-BO is a fiber optic network transceiver module designed for high-speed optical links. It supports a QSFP interface, transmits and receives at a wavelength of 1310 nm and provides a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s. The module is intended for single-mode fiber connections and has a documented mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours. It weighs approximately 40 g and follows MSA-compliant QSFP form-factor specifications to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP transceiver offers a QSFP interface compatible with standard QSFP ports and supports 1310 nm optical transmission for long-reach single-mode links. The module is built to meet MSA guidelines, enabling plug-and-play compatibility with devices that accept QSFP modules. Its stated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours indicates a design focus on long-term availability and reduced maintenance. The compact 40 g unit supports simultaneous transmit and receive optical channels via MPO/MTP style optical connectivity as used in 40GBASE-PLR4 implementations.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet aggregation and core links in data centers
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP modules
• Single-mode fiber links requiring 1310 nm optical transmission

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-CI-BO into a compatible QSFP port on the host device while the host is powered according to the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Connect the single-mode fiber patch cord with the appropriate MPO/MTP termination to the module, ensuring correct polarity and secure mating. Verify link status and diagnostics through the host device interface; if supported, use the module's digital diagnostics/DOM functions to monitor optical power, temperature and supply voltage. Follow your network equipment vendor's instructions for hot-plugging, firmware compatibility and any required port configuration for 40G operation.

Recommendations

Ensure the host hardware and software explicitly support QSFP modules at this specification and that the network uses single-mode fiber with MPO/MTP cabling compatible with 40GBASE-PLR4. Use proper ESD precautions when handling the transceiver and keep optical ports capped when not connected to avoid contamination. If diagnostic monitoring is required, confirm DOM/DDM support on the host to access real-time parameters.
