Fiber Optic QSFP Transceiver BlueOptics BO25K13630D 40GBASE-ER4L 30 km 1310 nm

The BlueOptics BO25K13630D is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 40GBASE-ER4L operation over single-mode fiber. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm and specified for link distances up to 30 km, this compact QSFP form-factor module enables 40 Gbit/s connectivity for routers, switches and other optical networking equipment. It is intended for long-reach uplinks and data center interconnects where consistent high-speed transmission and single-mode fiber compatibility are required.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver supports 40 Gbit/s aggregated data rates using ER4L wavelength allocation, providing long-reach performance on single-mode fiber up to 30 km. The module’s QSFP form factor allows for high-density port deployment in switches and routers while maintaining low power consumption and straightforward hot-pluggable operation. Compatibility with standard QSFP interfaces ensures integration into common optical network platforms without requiring custom cabling or additional conversion hardware.

Suitable for

• Long-reach data center interconnects over single-mode fiber
• 40 Gbit/s uplinks between optical switches and routers
• Campus or metro links requiring up to 30 km reach
• High-density network equipment with QSFP ports

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on the network device following the device manufacturer’s instructions for hot-pluggable modules. Connect the single-mode fiber patch cables to the module’s optical interface, ensuring proper polarity and clean connector end faces. Configure the network device to recognize and enable the 40GBASE-ER4L interface as required by your switch or router operating system. Monitor link status and optical parameters through the host device management interface to verify proper operation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-reach performance, use ITU-T-compliant single-mode fiber, maintain clean connectors, and verify end-to-end loss budget for distances approaching 30 km. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s QSFP ports and firmware; consult the device documentation for any required transceiver settings or supported optical modules.
