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

The BlueOptics AFBR-79EEPZ-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s applications. It features a metal housing in white and silver, a compact lightweight design (approx. 20 g) and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. The module supports MPO/MTP connectivity and 40GBASE-SR4 operation over multimode fiber with 850 nm transmitter and receiver channels, offering a standardized QSFP form factor for high-density network equipment.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver provides high data throughput up to 40,000 Mbit/s while remaining compatible with MSA-defined QSFP interfaces. The metal housing ensures mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation. Built and tested to meet interoperability requirements, the module supports digital diagnostics for real-time monitoring of operating parameters. With a long rated MTBF, it is intended for continuous operation in high-availability network environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to 40 Gbit/s (40GBASE-SR4)
• Data center spine and leaf switch interconnects
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-range multimode fiber connections (up to typical multimode distances)
• Applications requiring MPO/MTP connectivity and QSFP form factor

• Compliant with QSFP MSA mechanical and electrical specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR-79EEPZ-BO into any compatible QSFP port following the host equipment vendor’s hot-plug procedures. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber patch cord to the module and ensure correct fiber polarity and end-face cleanliness. Verify link negotiation and monitor the module’s digital diagnostics through supported management interfaces to confirm proper optical power, temperature and voltage levels. If the host device requires specific firmware or software settings for third-party transceivers, consult the equipment documentation before deployment.

Recommendations

Use this transceiver with multimode fiber rated for 40GBASE-SR4 applications and MPO/MTP trunking or breakout assemblies. Maintain proper ESD handling, keep fiber connectors clean, and follow the equipment vendor’s compatibility guidance. Monitor DDM/DOM values periodically to detect deviation in optical power or temperature that could indicate connector contamination or fiber issues.
