QSFP+ Transceiver BlueOptics QSFP+40GBIDI-BO 40000 Mbit/s 832 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP+40GBIDI-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 40 Gbit/s bi-directional multimode links. It uses an LC duplex connector and operates at an optical wavelength around 832 nm for simultaneous transmit and receive functions on a single multimode fiber strand. The module supports a maximum transfer distance of 100 m, has a compact silver housing and a lightweight construction of approximately 40 g. Designed to meet MSA interface specifications, the transceiver includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status information and is intended for use in common network hardware such as switches, routers and storage equipment.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers full 40 Gbit/s throughput over multimode fiber with BiDi (bidirectional) operation, reducing cabling complexity by allowing transmit and receive signals on one fiber pair. Compliance with established MSA standards and use of proven component suppliers contribute to extended mean time between failures and reliable operation. Integrated digital diagnostics provide live monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature to assist with maintenance and troubleshooting.

How to use

Insert the QSFP+ module into a compatible QSFP cage on supported network equipment until it latches securely. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords following the module's TX/RX orientation and ensure patching matches the remote transceiver. Confirm the host device recognizes the transceiver and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the device management interface to monitor operational parameters. Observe standard ESD precautions when handling the module and keep fiber ends clean to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for reliable 100 m links at 40 Gbit/s, keep transceiver firmware and host device software up to date for compatibility, and verify that the target hardware supports bidirectional QSFP modules and the DDM/DOM functions for full monitoring capability.
