Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 474943A-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics 474943A-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed networking applications. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and is compatible with Nokia equipment that accepts the equivalent QSFP form factor. The module uses a QSFP interface and operates from a 3.3 V input supply. Its compact metal housing and silver finish have dimensions of approximately 18.3 mm width, 130.4 mm depth and 8.5 mm height, and it weighs about 0.11 kg, making it suitable for dense port deployments and constrained rack environments.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers 40 Gbit/s class throughput in a small QSFP package compliant with common MSA mechanical standards. Compatibility with major Nokia platforms ensures interoperability with existing network hardware that accepts the equivalent module. The design supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber connections via optical transmitter and receiver pairs and provides a stable 3.3 V power requirement. Built from industry-standard components, the module is intended for long operating life and reliable high-speed data transmission.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on switches, routers or other network devices while observing ESD precautions. Connect appropriate single-mode or multi-mode fiber patch cords to the module's optical interface, ensuring correct transmitter/receiver orientation. Verify that the host device recognizes the transceiver and that link LEDs or management interfaces indicate a valid connection. Ensure the host firmware or operating system supports the module and, if available, enable digital diagnostics features through the device management interface to monitor operating parameters.

Recommendations

Use high-quality fiber patch cords and maintain proper cable management to preserve signal integrity. Confirm host hardware compatibility and enable digital diagnostic monitoring where supported to track supply voltage, optical power and temperature for preventive maintenance.
