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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-MR-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 40 Mbit/s optical links at a wavelength of 1310 nm. It supports single-mode fiber with an MPO/MTP connector and is designed to comply with QSFP MSA standards. The module is lightweight (approximately 40 g) and rated with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours. Each package contains one unit and is intended for integration into network equipment that accepts QSFP pluggable transceivers.

Advantages

The module offers compatibility with QSFP MSA-compliant interfaces and is tested for interoperability with major hardware platforms that support the corresponding QSFP form factor. It provides simultaneous optical transmit and receive capability over single-mode fiber using 1310 nm lasers and supports standard high-speed protocols up to the stated data rate. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) are available when supported by host hardware, enabling remote monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, temperature, laser bias current and optical power. The construction and component selection target long operational lifetime and stable availability.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point single-mode fiber links using QSFP ports
• High-density switch or router uplinks that accept QSFP transceivers
• Environments requiring digital diagnostics for link monitoring

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector type: MPO/MTP (per MSA)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Typical weight: 0.04 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on network equipment while the host device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap guidelines. Connect single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords between transceivers or to appropriate patch panels. Ensure that the host device and the remote end support the same transmission protocol and data rate. If available, enable and read Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) through the host system to verify supply voltage, temperature and optical power levels during commissioning and operation.

Recommendations

Verify host compatibility with QSFP MSA transceivers and confirm support for DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required. Use quality single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and proper fiber management (patch panels, strain relief) to maximize link performance and lifetime. Follow ESD precautions and manufacturer guidance during installation and avoid bending fiber beyond recommended radii.
