BlueOptics QSFP56-200G-SR-AR-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic QSFP56 200G 100m

The BlueOptics QSFP56-200G-SR-AR-BO is a fiber optic network transceiver module engineered for 200G data transmission over multimode fiber. It uses a QSFP56 interface and an MPO/MTP connector following MSA standards, supports short-range 200GBASE-SR4 applications up to 100 meters, and is housed in a lightweight aluminium enclosure weighing approximately 40 g. The module provides transmit and receive optical channels at 850 nm and supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of operating parameters when the host hardware exposes this feature.

Advantages

The module offers a compact QSFP56 form factor suitable for high-density installations, compatibility with equipment platforms that support 200GBASE-SR4 optics, and an MPO/MTP interface for parallel multimode connections. Built to MSA specifications, it is assembled with industry-grade optical and electronic components to provide stable optical performance and predictable lifetime behavior. Digital diagnostics capability enables remote monitoring of voltage, laser bias, optical output and received power, and temperature when supported by the host device.

Suitable for

• High-density data center uplinks and spine links
• High-performance computing clusters requiring 200G connectivity
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-aggregation multimode optical connections up to 100 m
• Environments where QSFP56 form factor and MPO/MTP connectivity are standard

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP56
• Supported standard: 200GBASE-SR4 (multimode)
• Connector: MPO/MTP (parallel multimode)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Maximum reach: up to 100 meters on suitable multimode fiber
• Housing material and colour: aluminium (lightweight metal enclosure)
• Weight: approx. 0.04 kg
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (if supported by host hardware)

How to use

Insert the QSFP56 transceiver into a compatible QSFP56 port on a switch, router or other network device that officially supports 200GBASE-SR4 optics. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode patch cord between matching MPO/MTP ports or via an appropriate patch panel. Ensure the connected fiber type and patch cord meet the multimode specifications required for 100 m reach. If the host device provides DDM/DOM access, use the device management interface to read real-time parameters for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode fiber and MPO/MTP patch cords certified for 200GBASE-SR4 operation, verify host compatibility with QSFP56 200G optics before installation, and observe ESD precautions when handling the module. For reliable optical performance, clean MPO/MTP connectors before mating and follow vendor guidelines for transceiver firmware or compatibility settings.
