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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-NK-BO is a fiber optic QSFP transceiver module designed for 40 Mbit/s maximum data transfer. It features a QSFP interface in a metal housing, operates from a 3.3 V input, and is supplied as an individual module weighing approximately 20 g. The module is built to industry MSA mechanical and electrical standards and is intended for use in networking hardware that accepts QSFP form-factor transceivers.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver provides a compact metal-housed solution with a QSFP interface and low weight for easy hot-plug installation. With a rated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours it is specified for long operational lifetime. The module’s design conforms to common MSA specifications, enabling interoperability with equipment that supports QSFP transceivers and simplifying replacement or scaling of optical links.

Suitable for

• High-density switch and router uplinks requiring QSFP form-factor transceivers
• Optical links in data center and enterprise networks
• Systems that accept QSFP modules and operate at standard optical transceiver voltage levels

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Input voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing material: metal
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on the targeted network device following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap and grounding procedures. Connect single-mode fiber using the appropriate LC Duplex patch cords or patch panels and configure the host device to recognize the optical link. Ensure the network equipment supports the module’s digital diagnostic or monitoring functions if you plan to use those features.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your specific hardware platform and software version before deployment. Use quality single-mode fiber patch cords and follow ESD precautions during installation. For monitoring and troubleshooting, enable Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on supported devices to view supply voltage, laser bias, output and input power, and temperature.
