Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-LC-BO 40 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-LC-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module with a QSFP interface designed for 40 Mbit/s data transfer over single-mode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module supports optical links up to 10 km and offers a compact, lightweight design (approximately 40 g) with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours for extended operational life. It is suitable for integration into network equipment that accepts QSFP transceivers and for applications requiring reliable long-reach single-mode connectivity.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a standardized QSFP form factor that follows MSA guidelines, enabling interoperability with compatible switches, routers and storage systems. Its single-mode 1310 nm operation and support for distances up to 10 km make it appropriate for metropolitan and campus connections where longer reach is required. The module incorporates digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatibility for remote monitoring of parameters such as optical power and temperature when supported by host hardware. With a rated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight housing, the module is designed to offer long service life and easy installation.

Suitable for

• 40 Mbit/s single-mode fiber links up to 10 km
• Integration into QSFP-compatible switches, routers and storage systems
• Long-reach campus or metro interconnects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-LC-BO into a compatible QSFP port on your network device according to the device manufacturer's instructions. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords or MPO/MTP cabling as required by your network topology, ensuring proper polarity and clean fiber endfaces. Verify that the host hardware and software allow third-party QSFP modules and enable DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are required and supported. Power up the system and check link status and diagnostics through the host device management interface.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and appropriate LC or MPO/MTP patch cords rated for 1310 nm to achieve the specified range. Keep fiber connectors clean and avoid excessive bending of fiber cables. Confirm DDM/DOM support on the host platform before relying on real-time diagnostics. Follow the equipment vendor's guidelines for hot-plugging transceivers and electrostatic discharge precautions during installation.
