QSFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-LC-BO 40 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-LC-BO is a fiber optic QSFP transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber links and a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s. Housed in a metal casing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module operates from a 3.3 V supply and is specified with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. The transceiver provides LC duplex connectivity and follows QSFP physical interface conventions for use in compatible network equipment.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP transceiver combines a compact metal housing with QSFP interface compatibility to provide a lightweight, industry-standard optical module. The declared mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours indicates long operational life and reduced maintenance intervals. The module's 3.3 V input requirement and low weight simplify integration into standard QSFP-capable switches, routers and optical devices.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• High-speed links in data center and enterprise networks
• Optical connections where QSFP form factor is required
• Applications requiring a compact, low-weight transceiver

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Connector type: LC duplex (single-mode fiber)
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal casing
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-LC-BO into a QSFP-compatible port on supported network equipment, ensuring the device firmware or software supports the transceiver. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module's LC connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Power is supplied via the host system at 3.3 V through the QSFP slot; no separate power cable is required. After insertion and link establishment, verify link status and negotiate the supported protocol and speed on the host device.

Recommendations

For stable long-distance single-mode links, use quality LC duplex single-mode patch cords and ensure fiber connectors and patch panels are clean. Confirm that the host hardware supports the specific QSFP transceiver and check for Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support if remote monitoring of optical parameters is required. Handle the module using anti-static precautions and store unused transceivers in protective caps to avoid contamination.
