Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics RT3WM-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP 850 nm

The BlueOptics RT3WM-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 40 Gbit/s class links. The module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength, making it suitable for short-reach multimode fiber connections. Housed in a metal enclosure with a compact QSFP form factor and a 3.3 V operating interface, the transceiver is designed for straightforward integration into compatible network equipment while remaining lightweight at approximately 20 g.

Advantages

The metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal stability during continuous operation. Compliance with the QSFP interface ensures broad compatibility with switches, routers and servers that accept QSFP modules. The 850 nm wavelength and the 40 Gbit/s data rate support high-throughput, low-latency links commonly required in data center and campus networks. Low weight and compact dimensions simplify installation and replacement in rack-mounted systems.

How to use

Before installation, verify that the target device supports QSFP transceivers and that the device firmware or hardware compatibility list includes equivalent 40 Gbit/s modules. Handle the module by its edges and keep protective caps on the optical ports until ready to connect fiber. Insert the module into a compatible QSFP port until it clicks into place and ensure the host device recognizes the transceiver. Connect multimode fiber patch cords terminated for 850 nm operation, then remove protective caps and secure connectors. Monitor link status indicators on the host equipment to confirm successful link establishment.

Recommendations

Use the transceiver with multimode fiber rated for 850 nm to achieve optimal reach and performance. Maintain clean fiber connectors and follow ESD-safe handling procedures. Replace protective caps when the module is not in use and consult equipment vendor documentation for supported fiber types, maximum link distances and firmware interoperability notes.
