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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LRL4-ZH-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 40 Gbit/s network links. Housed in a metal enclosure with a silver finish, this module supports high-speed data transmission over multimode or single-mode fiber (depending on system compatibility) and is intended for integration into network switches, routers or transceiver cages with QSFP interfaces. It operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 40 g, delivering a compact solution for links up to 2000 m when used with appropriate fiber and link hardware.

Advantages

The module provides a consolidated, hot-pluggable QSFP interface that enables 40 Gbit/s uplinks or aggregation ports while maintaining a small form factor and robust metal housing. Its specified maximum transfer distance of up to 2000 m makes it suitable for medium- to long-reach connections when paired with compatible fiber and transceiver settings. The standardized QSFP form factor facilitates interoperability with equipment that supports QSFP modules and simplifies installation and replacement.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LRL4-ZH-BO by inserting the module into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or transceiver cage while the host device is powered according to the vendor instructions for hot-pluggable modules. Connect appropriate fiber optic cables and verify link status via the host device management interface. Ensure the host software/firmware supports the QSFP form factor and the required link speeds. Follow standard handling precautions for optical transceivers, including avoiding direct eye exposure to active fiber ends and keeping connectors clean.

Recommendations

Use factory-cleaned fiber connectors and appropriate dust caps when the module is not connected. Confirm fiber type (single-mode or multimode) and link budget to achieve the specified reach of up to 2000 m. Monitor temperature and optical power levels from the host device to ensure stable operation within manufacturer-recommended ranges.
