Network QSFP transceiver BlueOptics BO25K13630D 40GBASE-ER4L 40Gb/s 30 km

BlueOptics BO25K13630D is a QSFP form-factor optical transceiver engineered for long-reach 40 Gigabit Ethernet links. The module supports an aggregated data rate of 40 Gb/s and is specified for operation over single-mode fiber to distances up to 30 km. Hot-pluggable and compliant with QSFP standards, this transceiver is intended for deployment in data center interconnects, metro and campus network links where extended reach and reliable 40G connectivity are required.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver provides long-reach transmission over single-mode fiber with a compact QSFP form factor that saves port density. Hot-pluggable design enables replacement or installation without powering down the host system. Support for standard 40GBASE-ER4L signaling ensures interoperability with compatible network equipment, while its optical reach up to 30 km supports extended links between sites.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects over single-mode fiber
• Metro Ethernet links requiring 40G long-reach connectivity
• Campus backbone links spanning up to 30 km
• High-density switch and router QSFP ports

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on a switch, router or media converter according to the host device instructions. Connect appropriate single-mode fiber cabling and ensure the transmit and receive channels are aligned correctly. Verify link status and configure the host port for 40 Gb/s operation if necessary. Observe static-safe handling and avoid touching optical interfaces; cap connectors when not in use.

Recommendations

For reliable long-reach operation, use quality single-mode fiber and maintain clean connector endfaces. Verify compatibility with the network equipment vendor’s QSFP module policy and configure monitoring via the host device to track optical levels and temperature. Follow standard fiber handling and ESD precautions during installation and maintenance.
