CBO BlueOptics QSFP 40000 Mbit/s 150 m - CBO QSFP 40Gb/s multimode transceiver, 150 m

CBO BlueOptics QSFP 40000 Mbit/s 150 m is a QSFP-form-factor multimode fiber transceiver engineered for short-reach 40 Gb/s links up to 150 metres. The module supports standard QSFP ports on switches, routers and servers, enabling high-bandwidth uplinks and intra-rack connections in data centre and enterprise networks. It is designed for straightforward plug-and-play deployment and interoperability with equipment that accepts QSFP multimode optics.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 40 Gbit/s aggregate bandwidth over multimode fiber for low-latency, high-throughput connections. Its QSFP form factor provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface that simplifies upgrades and replacements without requiring system downtime. Built to operate over short-reach multimode links up to 150 m, the module reduces cabling complexity in dense rack environments and supports common data centre topologies. Compatibility with standard QSFP ports ensures broad vendor interoperability.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks between aggregation switches
• High-bandwidth intra-rack and inter-rack connections
• Server-to-switch or top-of-rack switch links
• Short-reach campus and enterprise backbone segments

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Nominal data rate: 40 Gbit/s aggregate
• Optical medium: multimode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 150 metres on multimode fiber
• Interface: QSFP multimode optical port, hot-pluggable
• Typical applications: short-reach data centre and enterprise links

How to use

Install the transceiver into an available QSFP port on a compatible switch, router or server and ensure the module is fully seated and latched. Connect multimode fiber patch cables with appropriate MPO/MTP or LC breakout connectors as required by the host equipment. After connection, verify link status and port settings in the device management interface and adjust speed, lane mapping or aggregation settings if necessary. For best performance, use multimode fiber and patch cords that meet the relevant OM-class specification for the intended reach.

Recommendations

Operate the module within the host device’s specified temperature and power ranges and use clean, undamaged multimode fiber connectors to maintain signal quality. For data centre deployments, plan fiber routing to minimize bend radius and connector stress, and verify compatibility with the switch firmware or optics policy before large-scale rollouts.
