QSFP transceiver module BlueOptics 57-1000129-01-BO 40000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 57-1000129-01-BO QSFP transceiver module is a high-speed optical interface designed for 40 Gbit/s network links. It supports QSFP interface connectivity and is intended for multimode fiber applications with MPO/MTP connector compatibility according to MSA specifications. The module features a durable metal housing, a lightweight design of approximately 20 g, and a long mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, providing a reliable option for data center and enterprise networks that require compact, pluggable 40G optics.

Advantages

The module offers 40,000 Mbit/s maximum data transfer capability in a QSFP form factor, enabling aggregation and high-throughput uplinks without occupying multiple SFP ports. Its metal housing contributes to mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation while the low weight simplifies handling and installation. Compliance with MSA QSFP mechanical and electrical definitions enhances interoperability with compatible switches, routers and storage systems that support QSFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• 40G Ethernet uplinks and aggregation links in data centers
• High-speed connections between switches, routers and storage systems
• Short-reach multimode fiber links using MPO/MTP connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40000 Mbit/s (40 Gbit/s)
• Connector type: MPO/MTP (MSA-compliant)
• Optical media: multimode fiber (short-reach SR application)
• Housing: metal
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on your network device following the vendor's hot-swap and handling instructions. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber patch cable between transceivers or between a transceiver and a patch panel. Verify that the host hardware supports QSFP modules and any required digital diagnostic monitoring features. After insertion and fiber connection, confirm link status and negotiate the desired 40G protocol on the network equipment.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with the target switch or router by checking vendor support for third-party QSFP transceivers and enable DDM/DOM only if supported by the host. For best optical performance, use high-quality multimode MPO/MTP patch cords and maintain clean connector endfaces. Observe ESD precautions and handle the module by its casing to avoid damage to optical interfaces.
