QSFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-BR-BO 40000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-BR-BO is a QSFP transceiver module engineered for 40 Gbit/s class links and long-reach transmission at 1310 nm. Designed for use in high-density network environments, the module supports an aggregate data rate of up to 40000 Mbit/s and fits QSFP ports on switches, routers and optical equipment. It meets common safety and environmental standards including RoHS and holds certifications from CE, TÜV, UL and FCC, which support compliance in professional installations.

Advantages

The module provides a compact QSFP form factor that enables high-density port deployment while maintaining a 1310 nm optical interface suitable for longer fiber spans. Support for 40 Gbit/s throughput ensures compatibility with high-bandwidth links. Certification by CE, TÜV, UL and FCC together with RoHS compliance indicates adherence to international safety, electromagnetic and environmental requirements. The product colour options (black, blue, grey) help visually identify modules in rack-mounted systems.

How to use

Install the QSFP module into a compatible QSFP slot on the network device following the host equipment vendor's instructions. Ensure the device is powered and interfaces are configured for 40 Gbit/s operation before connecting fiber. Use appropriate single-mode fiber and compatible connectors for 1310 nm transmission and verify link status via the network device's management interface. When removing the transceiver, power down or follow hot-swap guidance from the equipment vendor and use protective caps to keep optical ports clean.

Recommendations

Maintain clean fiber endfaces and use compatible transceiver settings on both ends of the link. Confirm that distance and fiber type meet the optical reach requirements for 1310 nm transmission. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and avoid direct exposure of optical ports to dust or moisture.
