Optical QSFP Transceiver BlueOptics BO25K13630D 40GBASE-ER4L 40Gbps 30 km 1310 nm

BlueOptics BO25K13630D is a QSFP optical transceiver module engineered for 40GBASE-ER4L links, supporting 40 Gbps aggregate throughput over single-mode fiber. Operating at a central wavelength of 1310 nm, the module is specified for transmission distances up to 30 km and fits into standard QSFP ports for compact high-density deployment in data center and carrier environments.

Advantages

The module provides long-reach 40G connectivity in a compact QSFP form factor, enabling consolidation of ports and simplified cabling between switches and routers. It supports reliable single-mode fiber transmission at 1310 nm with sufficient optical budget for typical metro and campus links up to 30 km. The transceiver is compatible with standard QSFP interfaces and is suitable for hot-pluggable, high-density installations where space and power efficiency matter.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between data-center switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Long-reach aggregation links in metro networks and campus backbones
• Carrier and service-provider edge connections requiring 40 Gbps bandwidth
• High-density installations where QSFP form factor is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Standard: 40GBASE-ER4L
• Data rate: 40 Gbps aggregate
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Maximum reach: up to 30 km over single-mode fiber
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Connector type: compatible with QSFP ports (LC connectors on fiber side when applicable)

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on your switch or router while the host device is powered on or off, following the equipment manufacturer's hot-plug instructions. Connect single-mode fiber cables with matching connector types and ensure proper polarity and cleanliness of fiber end faces. Configure the network device for 40G operation as required and verify link status and optical diagnostics through the host interface.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors and patch panels are clean and use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach links. Verify that the host equipment supports 40GBASE-ER4L optics and check optical power budget and dispersion characteristics for links approaching the 30 km limit. Use proper ESD precautions during handling and follow vendor guidance for interoperability and firmware compatibility.
