QSFP transceiver module BlueOptics 321-1576-BO 40000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 321-1576-BO QSFP transceiver module is a compact optical interface designed for 40 Gbit/s class network links. With a QSFP form factor and a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s, this silver-coloured module supports high-density installations where space and port density matter. It is built to industry safety and environmental standards and offers a calculated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, making it suitable for integration into modern fiber optic network equipment.

Advantages

The module’s QSFP interface allows aggregation of four lanes into a single compact port for simplified cabling and high port density. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS standards ensures regulatory conformity and reduced environmental impact. Its lightweight design (approximately 20 g) and standard QSFP form factor enable easy installation and hot-swap replacement in compatible switches, routers and transceivers. The specified MTBF offers an indicator of long-term reliability for planned network deployments.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and switch-to-switch connections requiring 40 Gbit/s throughput
• High-density aggregation panels and enterprise backbone links
• Environments where QSFP form factor is required for port savings and modular upgrades

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 321-1576-BO into a compatible QSFP slot on network equipment following the manufacturer’s guidance for electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Ensure both ends of the optical link use matching transceiver types and appropriate fiber cabling. After seating the module, verify link status and speed through the host device management interface or LEDs. For hot-swap capable systems, remove and replace modules only when the network and device support hot insertion and appropriate safety procedures are observed.

Recommendations

Use multimode or single-mode fiber and transceiver pairings that match the optical specifications of your network design. Maintain clean fiber connectors and follow manufacturer cleaning procedures to prevent signal loss. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and operate them within the environmental limits specified by your equipment to preserve the rated MTBF.
