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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-QN-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Mbit/s data transfer over single-mode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module uses an MPO/MTP connector and conforms to QSFP MSA mechanical and electrical standards, making it suitable for systems that support compatible QSFP transceivers. With a compact weight of 40 g and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, the module is intended for integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other network hardware that require optical 40G links.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standards-based QSFP interface and supports simultaneous transmit and receive optical channels through an MPO/MTP connector. It incorporates digital diagnostics monitoring functionality for real-time readout of key operating parameters when supported by host hardware. Built to industry safety and environmental standards, the module is lightweight and designed for long service life with a high MTBF rating.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links up to 40G
• Interconnects between switches, routers, and storage systems
• Optical links over single-mode fiber for campus and data center backbones
• Environments requiring MPO/MTP connectivity and QSFP form factor

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-QN-BO into a compatible QSFP slot of your network device following the device manufacturer's hot-plug and electrostatic discharge (ESD) handling instructions. Connect an MPO/MTP single-mode fiber patch cord to the module and the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify link status and, if available, read diagnostic parameters through the host system to confirm optical power, temperature and voltage values. Ensure the host hardware supports the QSFP form factor and any DDM functions you intend to use.

Recommendations

Use single-mode MPO/MTP fiber assemblies and appropriate fiber management (patch panels or trunks) to achieve optimal optical performance. Confirm compatibility with the target hardware platform and verify that any required digital diagnostics features are supported by the host device. Follow ESD precautions during handling and observe manufacturer guidelines for insertion and removal to maintain module reliability.
