Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 720187-B21-BO QSFP MTP/MPO

The BlueOptics 720187-B21-BO QSFP MTP/MPO is a compact fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40G multimode optical links. Built in an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 0.02 kg, this QSFP module uses an MTP/MPO multi-fibre connector and conforms to industry MSA physical interface conventions for QSFP form-factor interoperability. The module supports high-speed optical transmission over multimode fiber and is intended for integration into network equipment that accepts QSFP optics.

Advantages

This BlueOptics module offers a standardized QSFP interface in a lightweight aluminium enclosure which facilitates simple handling and installation. Its MTP/MPO connector supports parallel multimode transmission for compact cabling and high aggregate throughput. The module is manufactured to MSA-aligned requirements and is tested for compatibility with common hardware platforms that accept the corresponding 40G QSFP optics, helping to ensure predictable behavior in supported devices.

Suitable for

• 40G Ethernet links over multimode fiber in data centers
• High-bandwidth short-reach interconnects between switches, routers and servers
• Parallel multimode applications using MTP/MPO cabling systems

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Connector type: MTP/MPO multi-fibre interface
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Designed for multimode fiber parallel transmission at 40G aggregate rate

How to use

Install the module into a compatible QSFP slot on the network device following the device manufacturer’s hot-plug instructions. Connect an MTP/MPO multimode fiber patch cord to the module’s connector, ensuring correct orientation and secure latching of the MTP/MPO interface. After insertion and cable connection, verify link status in the host device management system and confirm that the device firmware supports the module type. If the host device supports digital diagnostics, enable and read diagnostic parameters to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use short-reach multimode OM3/OM4 fibre and a high-quality MTP/MPO patch cord matched to the intended parallel lane mapping. Confirm interoperability with the target switch or router and keep firmware up to date to ensure full functionality of diagnostic features.
