QSFP transceiver module BlueOptics 980-9I426-00BM00-BO 40000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 980-9I426-00BM00-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s links. It uses the QSFP form factor and a multi-fiber MPO/MTP connector to transfer optical signals over multimode fiber. The module operates with 850 nm transmitter and receiver wavelengths and is intended for high-speed Ethernet and similar protocols, offering a compact silver metal housing and a lightweight design of approximately 20 g. The product is engineered for continuous operation with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours.

Advantages

The transceiver supports a maximum data rate of 40000 Mbit/s and complies with common MSA QSFP interfaces, enabling interoperability with equipment that accepts QSFP modules and MPO/MTP connections. Its multimode 850 nm optics are suitable for short-reach high-bandwidth connections up to typical multimode distances, while the standardized QSFP form factor simplifies installation and replacement in compatible switches, routers and storage systems. The lightweight, metal-bodied design provides a balance of durability and compactness for rack-mounted network environments.

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on the network device following the device manufacturer’s hot‑plug guidelines. Connect the MPO/MTP multimode fiber cable to the module’s connector, ensuring correct polarity and that fiber ends are clean and undamaged. Configure the host device ports for 40G operation or the required protocol (for example Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and verify link status in the device management interface. When removing the module, use the release mechanism specified by the equipment vendor and protect the connector with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use certified multimode MPO/MTP cables and maintain proper fiber cleaning procedures to ensure signal integrity. Verify compatibility with the target hardware and firmwares before deployment; test modules in non-production environments when possible to confirm interoperability and link performance.
