Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics 747698-B21-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics 747698-B21-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 40 Gbit/s class high-speed networking. Designed for use in switches, routers and optical aggregation equipment, this compact silver module provides a proven physical interface and complies with CE, FCC and RoHS standards. With a low weight of 40 g and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, it is intended for reliable, long-term data transmission in data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and offers a standard form factor for straightforward installation and interoperability with compliant ports. The module’s certifications (CE, FCC, RoHS) indicate compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements. Its compact silver design and light weight reduce mechanical strain on equipment ports, while the high MTBF provides predictable operational lifetime for planning maintenance windows.

How to use

Before installation, verify that the host device supports QSFP modules and the intended 40 Gbit/s link configuration. Handle the module by its housing and avoid touching optical interfaces. Insert the transceiver into the QSFP port until it seats firmly and engage any retention mechanism specified by the equipment vendor. Configure host interfaces and link settings according to the network design and monitor link status through the host device management interface. When removing, follow hot-plug safety procedures where applicable and replace protective caps to keep optical ports free of contamination.

Recommendations

Store and install the module in a clean, dry environment and use appropriate ESD protection during handling. Use compatible optical cables and ensure connectors are clean before mating. For optimal reliability, follow vendor guidance for firmware, port configurations and temperature limits, and plan maintenance based on the MTBF for long-term deployment.
