BlueOptics VX_00017 -BO network transceiver module Fiber optic 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics VX_00017 -BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed data transfer up to 40000 Mbit/s. Compact and lightweight at approximately 20 g, this silver-coloured module supports 40GBASE-LR4 optical transmission over single-mode fiber and uses an LC duplex connector. The transceiver complies with RoHS standards and follows MSA interface conventions for compatibility with equipment that supports 40G QSFP modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics VX_00017 -BO provides multi-protocol support for high-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications up to 40 Gbit/s and is engineered to meet MSA standards for form factor and electrical/optical signalling. Its design incorporates CWDM-enabled transmitter and receiver elements for long-reach single-mode operation and supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature. Built from quality optical and electronic components, the module is intended for extended service life and reliable operation in data centre and carrier environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics VX_00017 -BO by plugging the QSFP module into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or storage system that supports 40GBASE-LR4 modules. Connect the LC duplex fiber patch cord to the module and to the corresponding patch panel or remote transceiver. Ensure the host device supports DDM/DOM if you intend to monitor diagnostic parameters. Follow standard hot-plug procedures as defined by the host vendor and verify link status through the equipment's management interface. If necessary, adapt transceiver settings according to the network equipment firmware and configuration guidelines.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber patch cords and LC duplex connectors rated for 40GBASE-LR4 to achieve optimal range and signal quality. Verify compatibility with your specific vendor hardware and enable DDM/DOM monitoring where supported to track module health parameters. Store transceivers in anti-static packaging and maintain clean optical endfaces to avoid signal degradation.
