BlueOptics QSFP fiber optic transceiver module R9F97A-BO 40 Gbit/s MTP/MPO, 150 m, silver

BlueOptics R9F97A-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module compatible with HPE Aruba R9F97A, supporting 40GBASE-SR4 data transmission over multimode fiber via an MTP/MPO connector. Designed for short-reach links up to 150 m, the module supports high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications and fits standard QSFP ports in switches, routers and storage systems that accept the original HPE Aruba R9F97A transceiver.

Advantages

The BlueOptics R9F97A-BO uses industry-standard MSA-compliant design and components chosen from established manufacturers to ensure compatibility and extended lifetime. It includes 850 nm transmitter and receiver channels and offers real-time digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature. The module is CE, RoHS and FCC certified and intended as a drop-in compatible alternative to the original HPE Aruba R9F97A 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics R9F97A-BO QSFP module into a compatible QSFP port on your switch, router or storage device while the equipment is powered according to the host vendor's instructions. Connect an appropriate MTP/MPO multimode fiber patch cord to the module and to the corresponding patch panel or remote transceiver. Verify link status and, if required, enable or check DDM/DOM support in the host device firmware to monitor module parameters remotely.

Recommendations

For optimal performance use multimode fiber and MTP/MPO patch cords rated for 40GBASE-SR4. Ensure the host hardware officially supports HPE Aruba R9F97A-compatible transceivers and that DDM/DOM monitoring is enabled if remote diagnostics are required. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and store it in its original packing when not in use.
