Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-79EBPZ-BC-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics AFBR-79EBPZ-BC-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-density, high-speed networking environments. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s, this compact silver module provides a QSFP form factor that fits compatible switches, routers and host adapters. With a lightweight construction of approximately 40 g and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, the module is intended to deliver reliable optical connectivity for data center and enterprise links.

Advantages

The module's QSFP form factor enables high port density and straightforward hot-pluggable installation in compatible equipment. Its 40 Gbit/s capability supports aggregation, server uplinks and switch-to-switch connections where increased bandwidth is required. The specified MTBF indicates long operational life under normal conditions, and the small, lightweight design simplifies handling and installation in crowded rack environments.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbps uplinks between switches and core network equipment
• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Aggregation links and spine-leaf architectures
• Environments requiring QSFP hot-pluggable optical modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40000 Mbit/s
• Colour: silver
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Before installation, verify compatibility with the host device's QSFP cage and support for 40 Gbit/s transceivers. Power down or follow the host equipment's hot-swap procedures if supported. Insert the module into the QSFP port until it engages, connect appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber patch cords as required by the network design, and ensure optical connectors are clean to prevent signal loss. After insertion, check link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful negotiation and establish the link at the expected data rate.

Recommendations

Use industry-standard cleaning tools for fiber connectors and maintain proper ESD precautions when handling the module. Match fiber type and transceiver specifications across the link, and consult the host equipment documentation for supported transceiver lists and configuration steps to ensure optimal performance.
