Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics C78CR-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics C78CR-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver engineered for 40 Gbit/s class networking applications. Designed to plug into QSFP ports, the module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and is supplied in a compact silver housing with a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. Built to industry compliance requirements, the transceiver meets CE, FCC and RoHS standards and provides a high mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours for reliable optical link operation.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver offers high-bandwidth optical connectivity suitable for data center and enterprise networks. Its compact QSFP form factor enables dense port deployment and straightforward hot-pluggable replacement. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS ensures regulatory conformity, while the specified MTBF indicates long operational life under normal conditions. The silver metal housing and small weight facilitate easy handling and installation.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics C78CR-BO by inserting the module into an available QSFP port on compatible network equipment until it seats securely. Connect appropriate fiber patch cables to the transceiver’s optical interface following the host device manufacturer’s guidance for cable type and polarity. After insertion, verify link status through the switch or router management interface and confirm negotiated data rate and diagnostics if supported. Remove by following standard hot-swap procedures to avoid physical or optical damage.

Recommendations

Use multimode or single-mode fiber and patch cords as specified by your network architecture and device vendor. Ensure transceiver compatibility with the host device and verify link settings after installation. Observe ESD precautions during handling and keep protective caps on the optical ports when the transceiver is not connected.
