Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 740-056706-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics 740-056706-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s optical links. It supports the QSFP interface and is intended for single-mode fiber connections using an MPO/MTP-style multi-fiber connector. The module features a compact metal housing in silver and blue, weighs approximately 40 g, and is compatible with Juniper platforms and other hardware that follow QSFP MSA electrical and mechanical conventions.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP module offers a standardized QSFP form factor for interoperability with equipment that supports MSA-compliant QSFP transceivers. It supports a 40000 Mbit/s data rate suitable for high-throughput Ethernet and related transport protocols. The transceiver is built for optical transmission with 1310 nm wavelength components for both transmitter and receiver and is optimized for single-mode fiber links up to approximately 2 kilometers when used according to its intended application.

Suitable for

• 40 G Ethernet uplinks and aggregation in data centers
• High-speed interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• Longer single-mode fiber links in campus and metropolitan networks (up to ~2 km)

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40000 Mbit/s (40 Gbit/s)
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm transmitter and receiver
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector type: MPO/MTP multi-fiber connector (MSA-style)
• Typical reach: up to approximately 2 kilometers over single-mode fiber when used in appropriate link conditions
• Product colour: silver and blue
• Weight: 0.04 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on the host device following the device manufacturer's hot-pluggable module guidance. Connect an MPO/MTP single-mode patch cable between this transceiver and the corresponding remote transceiver or patch panel, ensuring correct fiber polarity and proper end-face cleanliness. Confirm that the host device firmware or driver supports QSFP modules and, if required, enable or verify Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support to monitor real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords of appropriate quality, keep fiber connectors clean, and verify compatibility with the target Juniper or third-party hardware before deployment. If DDM/DOM is needed for monitoring, ensure the host system supports those features. Follow industry-standard handling practices for optical modules to avoid contamination or mechanical damage.
