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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-CO-BO is a QSFP network transceiver module for single-mode fiber links, intended for high-speed optical data transfer. It supports a maximum data rate of 40 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module is lightweight (approximately 0.04 kg) and is designed to meet MSA QSFP mechanical and electrical interoperability requirements while offering a high mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours for long-term availability.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP transceiver combines the QSFP interface form factor with single-mode optical transmission at 1310 nm to provide a compact option for 40 Mbit/s links. The module’s compliance with multi-source agreement (MSA) QSFP standards supports interoperability with compatible network equipment. With a reported MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a low weight, the transceiver is suitable for dense installations where space and reliability matter. The design includes an MPO/MTP connector option for multi-fiber MPO trunking environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed single-mode fiber connections up to 40 Mbit/s
• Integration into QSFP-compatible switches, routers and storage systems
• Environments requiring MSA-compliant pluggable optics and MPO/MTP connectivity

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-CO-BO into a compatible QSFP port on network equipment following the equipment manufacturer’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect the MPO/MTP multi-fiber patch cable to the transceiver and route the other end according to your network topology (for example to a patch panel or another MPO/MTP transceiver). Ensure the link settings on both ends match the intended protocol and data rate. Verify the optical polarity and the presence of signal using the host device diagnostics or DOM/DDM monitoring if supported by the system.

Recommendations

Use verified single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and maintain clean connector endfaces to ensure optimal signal quality. Confirm that the host hardware supports QSFP MSA form-factor modules and any digital diagnostics features before deployment. Observe recommended handling procedures for pluggable optics to avoid ESD and mechanical damage.
