Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics MMA1T00-VS-BO 20000 Mbit/s QSFP56

The BlueOptics MMA1T00-VS-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-density, short-reach data communication. With a QSFP56 interface and a maximum data transfer rate of 20000 Mbit/s, this module supports multimode fiber transmission using an MTP/MPO connector. The transceiver implements 200GBASE-SR4 functionality with 850 nm transmit and receive wavelengths and is intended for integration in common network hardware platforms that accept QSFP56 modules. The unit is compact and lightweight (approximately 40 g) and is finished in a silver housing for standard rack and chassis compatibility.

Advantages

The BlueOptics MMA1T00-VS-BO offers a standardized QSFP56 form factor that simplifies installation in compatible switches, routers and storage systems. Its MTP/MPO multimode connection enables parallel optical lanes for high aggregate throughput while keeping cabling compact. The specified maximum transfer distance of 100 m on multimode fiber and a long mean time between failures (MTBF) contribute to predictable performance and reduced service interruptions. The module is compatible with MSA-backed QSFP56 interfaces, making it a practical choice for dense data center and enterprise network environments.

Suitable for

• High-density data center switch uplinks and spine connections
• Aggregation links between switches and routers in campus networks
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects that require short-reach multimode optics
• Server or network interface modules in systems that accept QSFP56 transceivers

How to use

Install the BlueOptics MMA1T00-VS-BO by inserting the QSFP56 module into a compatible QSFP56 port on the switch, router or host adapter until it clicks into place. Use an MTP/MPO multimode fiber cable routed according to your rack plan and connect the cable to the module’s MTP/MPO receptacle, ensuring correct alignment of the fiber keying. Confirm that the host device recognizes the transceiver and that interface settings match the intended 200GBASE-SR4 configuration. Monitor link status LEDs and device diagnostics to verify proper signal presence and optical power levels.

Recommendations

Use quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for runs up to the specified 100 m to ensure expected performance. Keep connector endfaces clean and protected before mating to avoid signal loss. Observe manufacturer and platform compatibility lists when deploying modules in vendor-specific hardware to ensure firmware and link negotiation support.
