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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-MA-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Mbit/s optical links using 1310 nm wavelength. With a compact form factor and a weight of approximately 40 g, this module supports single-mode fiber connections via MPO/MTP connector and follows established QSFP MSA specifications for electrical, mechanical and functional interoperability. The transceiver integrates transmitter and receiver elements optimized for use in switches, routers and storage systems and provides a mean time between failures (MTBF) around 1,000,000 hours.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP module provides a standards-based QSFP interface and MPO/MTP connectivity for multi-fiber single-mode links, enabling simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The module implements optical transmission at 1310 nm and supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time information on supply voltage, laser bias current, output and received power levels, and temperature when the host hardware supports it. Components are selected to meet industrial quality and safety standards, delivering long operational lifetime and high availability for critical network links.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet up to 40G aggregated throughput
• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation points over single-mode fiber
• Interconnects in carrier and enterprise networks requiring MPO/MTP termination
• Storage area networks and backbone links in campus and hyperscale environments

How to use

Install the QSFP-40G-PLR4-MA-BO module into a compatible QSFP port on the target hardware following the equipment manufacturer's hot-plug or insertion instructions. Use an MPO/MTP-terminated single-mode fiber patch cord or an appropriate breakout cable to connect to other transceivers or patch panels. Verify that the host device supports the module's DDM/DOM functions if you intend to monitor optical parameters. Observe standard ESD precautions during handling and ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid signal degradation.

Recommendations for use

To achieve reliable links, use certified single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and maintain connector cleanliness. Confirm compatibility with the target switch, router or storage platform and enable digital diagnostics on supported systems for proactive monitoring. Follow ambient temperature and installation guidelines from your hardware vendor to preserve service life and performance.
