Network QSFP transceiver BlueOptics BO25K13630D 40GBASE-ER4L 30 km

BlueOptics BO25K13630D is a QSFP optical transceiver module that delivers 40GBASE-ER4L performance for long-distance 40 Gbps Ethernet links. Designed for single-mode fiber, the module supports transmission distances up to 30 km and fits QSFP form-factor ports for hot-pluggable installation. It is intended for use in data centres, campus backbones and metropolitan area networks where stable, low-latency 40 Gigabit connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides high-density 40 Gbps throughput in a compact QSFP package and supports extended reach over single-mode fiber up to 30 km. Its hot-pluggable design simplifies installation and replacement without disrupting adjacent ports, and the module is built for low latency and reliable signal integrity over long spans. The product is compatible with standard 40 Gigabit Ethernet links and designed for continuous operation in network equipment racks and switches.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and rack-to-rack links
• Campus backbone aggregation
• Metropolitan area network (MAN) fiber links
• Long-reach 40 Gigabit Ethernet connections over single-mode fiber

Key specifications

• Interface: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Data rate: 40 Gbps
• Standard: 40GBASE-ER4L
• Optical fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Maximum reach: up to 30 km over SMF
• Wavelength: multi-lambda lanes compatible with ER4L specification
• Physical form factor: hot-pluggable QSFP module

How to use

Install the module into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or transceiver cage while the host device is powered on or according to the host manufacturer’s hot-plug procedure. Connect single-mode fiber patch cords using appropriate connectors and ensure correct polarity and cleanliness of fiber endfaces. Verify link status and configure the host interface for 40 Gbps operation if necessary. For safe removal, follow the equipment vendor’s guidelines to avoid physical or electrostatic damage.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode fiber with low-loss connectors and maintain proper cleaning procedures to ensure optimal performance. Confirm compatibility with host equipment and firmware that supports 40GBASE-ER4L optics. Plan fiber routes and dispersion budgets for links approaching the maximum 30 km reach to maintain link margin.
