QSFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LRL4-CT-BO 40000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LRL4-CT-BO is a fiber optic QSFP transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s network links. Housed in a metal casing with a silver finish, the module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and a maximum transfer distance of up to 2000 m over suitable fiber. It requires a 3.3 V input and weighs approximately 40 g, offering a compact option for high-density networking equipment and media conversion tasks.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver provides high-speed 40 Gbit/s throughput in a compact metal enclosure that aids thermal dissipation and mechanical durability. The QSFP interface supports hot-pluggable installation for rapid deployment and maintenance. Its specifications are suited for longer reach connections up to 2 km over fiber, making it appropriate for campus, data centre interconnects, and other single-mode fiber links where moderate reach and reliable performance are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered according to the vendor's guidelines for hot-plug modules. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable to the QSFP connector, ensuring correct fiber type and polarity for single-mode operation suitable for the module's reach. Verify link status and configuration on the host device and monitor link LEDs or management interfaces to confirm stable operation.

Recommendations

Use matched single-mode fiber and compatible QSFP-ready equipment to achieve the specified 2000 m reach. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables, keep connectors clean and dust-free, and observe ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. For reliable operation, confirm that the host device supports the transceiver's electrical and optical requirements including the 3.3 V supply and QSFP form factor.
