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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-CH-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Mbit/s optical data transfer over single‑mode fiber. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, features an MPO/MTP connector according to MSA QSFP form‑factor standards and has a compact, lightweight design (approximately 40 g). The module provides digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when the host hardware enables that function and is specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours.

Advantages

The module follows MSA QSFP mechanical and electrical interfaces to ensure interoperability with compatible network hardware. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive optical channels via MPO/MTP connectivity and is manufactured using industry components intended to meet industrial quality standards. The built‑in diagnostic capability allows monitoring of key optical and electrical parameters when supported by the host device, and the compact form factor simplifies integration into switches, routers and other QSFP ports.

Suitable for

• 40G optical links over single‑mode fiber
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems with QSFP ports
• Environments requiring MPO/MTP connectivity and DDM/DOM monitoring

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector type: MPO/MTP (QSFP‑compatible)
• Fiber type: single‑mode fiber
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Digital diagnostic monitoring: supported when enabled by host
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on host equipment following the device manufacturer’s hot‑plug and electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures. Connect an MPO/MTP single‑mode patch cord to the module and route it to the corresponding MPO/MTP port or patch panel. Verify that the host hardware and firmware support the required 40GBASE‑PLR4 signaling and, if needed, enable DDM/DOM in the host to access real‑time diagnostic parameters. Observe proper fiber handling and connector cleaning to maintain link quality.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality single‑mode MPO/MTP patch cords and ensure both ends of the optical path are cleaned and inspected before connecting. Confirm compatibility with the specific switch or router model and firmware version, and verify DDM/DOM availability in the host if remote diagnostics are required.
