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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-PT-BO is a QSFP form-factor fiber optic transceiver module designed to support high-speed optical links with a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s. The module is housed in metal, uses a QSFP interface and operates from a 3.3 V input. With a compact weight of approximately 20 g and a specified mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, the transceiver is intended for reliable deployment in network environments that require single-mode fiber connections and LC duplex optical interfaces.

Advantages

The module provides a QSFP-compatible interface in a compact metal enclosure, offering a lightweight option for adding optical uplinks or interconnects to compatible network equipment. Its specified MTBF indicates long operational life, while the standard 3.3 V supply and QSFP mechanical/electrical form factor support interoperability with systems that accept QSFP transceivers. The small physical size and low weight simplify installation in dense networking racks or modular switch and router ports.

Suitable for

• Adding optical uplinks to QSFP-compatible switches and routers
• High-speed connections between network devices over single-mode fiber
• Network equipment requiring compact, metal-housed transceiver modules
• Environments where long operational lifetime and reliability are required

How to use

Install the transceiver into a QSFP-compatible port on network equipment while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-plug procedures. Connect single-mode fiber using an LC duplex patch cable, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify that the host device recognizes the QSFP module and that the link is negotiated at the required rate. Follow equipment manufacturer guidance for enabling Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (if supported) and for firmware or software settings required to operate QSFP modules.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with the host hardware and confirm that the receiving equipment supports the transceiver’s data rate and QSFP interface. Use high-quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and maintain proper fiber handling to preserve link performance. Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when handling the module and follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion and removal to avoid damage to the transceiver or host port.
