Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 60174-BO QSFP 10000 m

The BlueOptics 60174-BO QSFP 10000 m is a fiber optic QSFP transceiver module engineered for high-speed optical communication over single-mode fiber up to 10,000 meters. The module implements 40GBASE-LR4 functionality with LC duplex connectivity and supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels using wavelength division (CWDM). Its lightweight aluminium housing (approx. 20 g) and MSA-compliant QSFP form factor make it suitable for integration into switches, routers, storage systems and other network hardware that accept standard 40G QSFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver provides 40 Gbit/s data throughput over long-reach single-mode links while maintaining electrical and optical compatibility with MSA QSFP interfaces. Built and tested to match the performance of established 40GBASE-LR4 modules, it includes CWDM-based transmit and receive assemblies and supports digital diagnostic monitoring for remote parameter readout. The compact aluminium enclosure combines low weight with robust mechanical fit and facilitates straightforward installation in network equipment.

Suitable for

• Long-reach 40 Gbit/s Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• High-speed interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Data center uplinks and aggregation ports
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET high-speed applications

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP (MSA-compliant form factor)
• Optical standard: 40GBASE-LR4 over single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC duplex
• Maximum reach: up to 10,000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Transmission: CWDM-based transmit and receive
• Housing: aluminium, lightweight (approx. 0.02 kg)
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (MSA SFF-8472 compatible)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP module into an available QSFP port on compatible network hardware, observing correct orientation and handling procedures for optical modules. Use LC duplex single-mode patch cords or an appropriate patch panel to connect to the remote transceiver. Ensure the host device firmware and port configuration support 40GBASE-LR4 operation and that any required link settings (speed, protocols) are correctly configured. If DDM/DOM is required, verify that the host hardware exposes diagnostic registers and read real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature through the management interface.

Recommendations

To achieve optimal performance, pair the module with single-mode LC duplex fiber and keep connector endfaces clean. Confirm hardware compatibility with your equipment vendor and update device firmware if necessary to enable full functionality and digital diagnostics. For long-term reliability, follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and install the module in environments that comply with the operating temperature and humidity ranges specified by your system vendor.
