Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics MMA1B00-B150D-BO QSFP 850 nm

The BlueOptics MMA1B00-B150D-BO QSFP is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40G multisource agreement (MSA) networks. Operating at 850 nm over multimode fiber, this QSFP module uses an MPO/MTP connector and supports short-reach optical links. The module is RoHS compliant, weighs approximately 20 g, and is mechanically compatible with CE- and FC-compliant systems. It implements standard QSFP electrical and mechanical interfaces to enable interoperability in switches, routers and other data centre equipment that support QSFP 40G modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics MMA1B00-B150D-BO offers standardized QSFP form-factor compatibility and an MPO/MTP optical interface for parallel multimode connections. With an 850 nm transmitter/receiver arrangement it supports 40GBASE-SR4 style short-range multimode transmission and includes digital diagnostic monitoring capability when supported by host hardware. The module's compact silver housing and light weight simplify handling and installation in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• 40G short-reach links in data centres and aggregation layers
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage arrays using multimode fiber
• Multimode MPO/MTP trunk and patch panel connections

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port of the networking device following the device manufacturer's hot‑swap or installation procedures. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring correct alignment of the MPO/MTP keying. Confirm that the host device supports the 40G link mode and, if required, enable or verify digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) in the host to access real‑time optical parameters. Verify link status and perform basic testing such as loopback or light-level checks to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for best short-reach performance and observe manufacturer guidance for maximum link distance. Ensure MPO/MTP connectors are clean and inspected before mating. Verify host device compatibility for QSFP 40G operation and DDM support to enable monitoring of optical parameters.
