Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics 407-BBPH-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics 407-BBPH-BO QSFP fiber optic transceiver provides 40 Gbit/s optical connectivity in a compact QSFP form factor. Designed for multimode fiber links, it operates at an 850 nm wavelength and uses an MPO/MTP style optical interface for parallel optical lanes. The module is intended for integration into network equipment that supports QSFP 40G modules and offers a lightweight, silver-coloured housing for easy handling and installation.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver supports 40000 Mbit/s data rates and a multimode 850 nm optical link, enabling high-throughput short-reach connections. Its standardized QSFP form factor and MPO/MTP-compatible optical interface simplify integration into switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP modules. The module is lightweight and compact, which facilitates dense port deployments and straightforward insertion and removal.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 40G multimode uplinks
• High-density data center aggregation and spine connections
• Storage and backup network links requiring 40 Gbit/s bandwidth
• Environments using MPO/MTP multimode cabling infrastructure

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on your network device following the host vendor’s insertion procedure. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode patch cable between the transceiver and the corresponding remote MPO/MTP port or patch panel. Ensure the device firmware and hardware support the QSFP module type and that link settings (speed and duplex) match the network configuration. Handle the optical interfaces with dust caps until connection to avoid contamination and follow standard ESD precautions during insertion and removal.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target hardware platform and enable any required module support in the device software before deployment. Use multimode fiber and MPO/MTP cabling rated for 40G applications and perform link testing after installation to confirm expected throughput and signal quality.
