Network transceiver module BlueOptics AFBR-79EAPZ-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics AFBR-79EAPZ-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s class high-speed network links. The compact silver QSFP form factor supports dense port configurations and hot-pluggable operation, enabling integration into switches, routers and optical transport equipment. With a rated maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, the module targets reliable short- to medium-reach optical connectivity while meeting CE, FCC and RoHS regulatory requirements.

Advantages

The module combines a standardized QSFP interface with a small 0.02 kg lightweight metal housing, offering straightforward installation and good thermal performance in rack-mounted systems. Compliance with common safety and environmental standards ensures compatibility across a wide range of network equipment. The high data rate and QSFP form factor allow aggregation of multiple 10 Gb lanes into a single 40 Gb link, reducing cabling complexity.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in data centers and enterprise networks
• High-density switch and router interfaces requiring QSFP modules
• Optical links for aggregation, spine-leaf fabrics and core interconnects

• Maximum data transfer rate: 40000 Mbit/s
• Form factor: QSFP
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours
• Regulatory compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR-79EAPZ-BO by inserting the QSFP module into a compatible QSFP cage on the host device while the host is powered according to the equipment vendor’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect the appropriate fiber patch cords or breakout cables to the module’s optical interface, ensure correct polarity and perform link testing and diagnostics via the host system. Follow the host platform instructions to verify link negotiation and speed settings.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver using ESD-safe procedures and avoid touching the optical interfaces. Use suitable fiber connectors and clean connector endfaces before insertion. Verify compatibility with the target switch or router and confirm supported link distances based on the chosen fiber type and cabling.
