Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 3HE06485AA-BO QSFP LC

The BlueOptics 3HE06485AA-BO QSFP LC is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single‑mode connections. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing 20 g, this QSFP module implements 40GBASE‑LR4 functionality with an LC duplex interface according to MSA specifications. It supports optical transmission over single‑mode fiber for distances up to 10 km and is suitable for use in a wide range of networking hardware that accepts compatible 40G QSFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides 40 Gbit/s optical data transmission with CWDM‑based transmitter and receiver channels, enabling simultaneous send and receive over LC duplex fiber. Its aluminium housing offers mechanical protection and thermal dissipation in rack environments. The product is manufactured to MSA standards and undergoes hardware compatibility testing to ensure functional interoperability with devices that support compatible 40G QSFP transceivers. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) allow monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when supported by host hardware.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbps Ethernet uplinks and aggregation ports
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and high‑speed storage interconnects
• Long‑reach optical links in campus and data center networks (up to 10 km)
• Switches, routers, storage systems and transmission equipment that accept QSFP 40G LR4 compatible modules

• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (if host hardware supports the feature)

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on a switch, router or other network device while the host is powered according to the device vendor’s installation procedures. Connect LC duplex single‑mode fiber patch cords to the transceiver’s LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify that the host system recognizes the module and, if applicable, enable or check digital diagnostic readings via the device management interface. Follow the network equipment manufacturer’s instructions for hot‑swap operations, link configuration and firmware compatibility checks.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality single‑mode LC patch cords and, where possible, route fibers through patch panels to protect connectors. Confirm that the target hardware supports third‑party QSFP 40G LR4 compatible modules and that DDM/DOM features are supported if remote monitoring is required. Maintain clean connectors and observe ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. For repeatable performance, test new modules in a non‑production environment before full deployment.
