Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics OPT-0043-BO 400000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics OPT-0043-BO QSFP fiber optic transceiver module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 400000 Mbit/s and is designed for high-density, high-speed network environments. Encased in a silver housing and weighing approximately 40 g, the module implements LC Duplex connections and adheres to MSA QSFP form-factor standards for compatibility with a wide range of network hardware. It supports bidirectional short-reach multimode fiber transmission with separate transmit and receive functions operating in the 832–918 nm wavelength range and offers a high MTBF of 3,000,000 hours for reliable continuous operation.

Advantages

The QSFP transceiver delivers high aggregate throughput suitable for 40 Gbps class links while maintaining a compact QSFP form factor for high port density. Compliance with MSA standards and the LC Duplex multimode interface ensures broad interoperability with switches, routers, load balancers and storage systems from mainstream vendors that accept QSFP modules. The module’s silver metal housing provides mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation, and the extended MTBF indicates long-term operational reliability in demanding data center and enterprise network environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed uplinks and aggregation links in data centers
• Inter-switch connections in campus and enterprise networks
• Connections to load balancers, routers and storage systems supporting QSFP modules

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on the intended network device following the device manufacturer’s insertion and ejection procedures. Connect LC Duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC receptacles, ensuring correct orientation of transmit and receive channels. Verify link status and negotiated speed on the host device and perform any vendor-recommended configuration steps, such as enabling the appropriate interface and setting VLAN or link aggregation parameters as needed. Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when handling the module and keep optical connectors clean to prevent signal loss.

Recommendations

Use certified multimode LC Duplex patch cords and maintain connector cleanliness with appropriate cleaning tools. Operate the module within the host device’s specified temperature and power limits. For interoperability, confirm the target hardware accepts third-party QSFP modules and, where applicable, update device firmware to the latest recommended version before deployment.
