Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 1F2KW-BO QSFP 40 Gigabit Ethernet

The BlueOptics 1F2KW-BO QSFP 40 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module is a fiber optic QSFP interface designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet networks. The module comes in an aluminium-coloured housing, weighs approximately 0.11 kg, and is supplied as a single unit. It follows MSA QSFP mechanical form-factor conventions and is intended for high-speed optical data links in switches, routers and storage equipment that support QSFP 40GbE connectivity.

Advantages

The BlueOptics module provides a compact QSFP form factor that supports aggregated 40 Gigabit Ethernet throughput while maintaining compatibility with standard QSFP interfaces. Its aluminium-coloured housing offers a robust physical enclosure, and the lightweight construction simplifies handling and installation. The transceiver is suitable for multimode and single-mode fiber environments when used with appropriate patch cords and follows industry MSA guidelines for mechanical and electrical interoperability.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in data center switches
• High-speed interconnects between routers, switches and storage systems
• Aggregation and spine-leaf network architectures
• Optical links requiring QSFP modules for short and longer reach when paired with the correct fiber type

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Supported protocol: 40 Gigabit Ethernet
• Housing material/finish: aluminium-coloured metal housing
• Weight: approximately 0.11 kg
• Connector type: QSFP electrical/mechanical interface (MSA compliant)
• Optical medium: supports multimode and single-mode fiber when used with appropriate fiber patch cords
• Diagnostics: supports Digital Diagnostics/DOM when host hardware provides support

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 1F2KW-BO QSFP module into a compatible QSFP slot on your switch, router or storage device following the host vendor’s insertion and removal procedures. Connect appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber patch cords to the module and the corresponding port or transceiver on the remote device. Verify link negotiation and speed settings on the host device and confirm that any required DOM/DDM support is enabled in the host system to access diagnostic parameters. Handle the transceiver by its housing and protect fiber ends with dust caps until installation to avoid contamination.

Recommendations

Use manufacturer-recommended fiber patch cords and, where available, validate interoperability with the target hardware platform. Ensure the host device firmware supports QSFP modules and DDM/DOM functions to monitor optical parameters. Keep spare dust caps and perform connector cleaning before installation to maintain link quality and reduce insertion loss.
