Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 57-1000327-01-BO QSFP 40000 m

The BlueOptics 57-1000327-01-BO QSFP 40000 m is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode optical links. Compatible with QSFP interfaces, this module supports 40G data transfer over long distances up to 40,000 metres and is built in an aluminium housing with a lightweight construction of approximately 40 g. It uses LC duplex connections and operates with optical transmit and receive wavelengths suitable for long-reach single-mode applications, following MSA-compliant QSFP form-factor conventions.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP module provides long-reach connectivity for network equipment that supports QSFP transceivers. The aluminium enclosure offers mechanical robustness while keeping the module lightweight. The design follows MSA guidelines for physical compatibility and supports common high-speed protocols for 40G links over single-mode fiber. Built with digital diagnostics monitoring support in mind, the module enables remote monitoring of optical parameters when the host hardware supports DDM/DOM.

Suitable for

• Long-distance 40G single-mode fiber links in enterprise and carrier networks
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP modules
• High-bandwidth backbone and aggregation links requiring low electromagnetic interference
• Environments where lightweight, durable transceivers are preferred for dense server or rack installations

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum reach: up to 40,000 m over single-mode fiber
• Form factor: QSFP transceiver, MSA-compliant mechanical dimensions
• Connector: LC duplex optical connector
• Housing material and colour: aluminium (aluminium-coloured)
• Weight: approximately 0.04 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP module into a compatible QSFP slot on supported network hardware following the device vendor's hot-plug and handling procedures. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module’s connectors, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. Verify link parameters and enable any required interface settings on the host device. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), use the management interface to read real-time optical parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias and received power for troubleshooting and monitoring.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility by confirming that the target switch, router or storage system supports third-party QSFP modules and DDM/DOM features if you intend to use diagnostics. Use single-mode LC duplex patch cords and appropriate fiber patch panels or transceivers at the far end to achieve the specified reach. Handle the module following ESD precautions and avoid contaminating optical endfaces to maintain link quality and expected service life.
