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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-IA-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module for 40 Mbit/s data transfer over a 1310 nm wavelength. Designed for single-mode fiber and featuring an MPO/MTP connector according to MSA standards, this compact module weighs 0.04 kg and provides long operational life with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours. It supports digital diagnostics for monitoring key optical parameters when the host hardware exposes DDM/DOM functionality.

Advantages

This QSFP module implements the QSFP electrical and mechanical interface defined in MSA specifications to ensure interoperability with compatible network equipment. It transmits and receives optical signals at 1310 nm and is intended for single-mode fiber links using MPO/MTP connectivity. Manufactured to industry standards, the module is compatible with platforms that support the corresponding 40GBASE-PLR4 QSFP form factor and supports digital diagnostics for remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, optical power and temperature.

Suitable for

• 40 Mbit/s single-mode fiber links in switches and routers
• High-speed interconnects between storage systems and aggregation equipment
• Optical network segments that require QSFP form-factor transceivers with MPO/MTP connectors

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (transmit and receive)
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Connector: MPO/MTP (MSA compliant)
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• MTBF: 1,000,000 hours
• Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) supported when host hardware enables it

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-IA-BO into a compatible QSFP port on network equipment that supports 40GBASE-PLR4 QSFP modules. Connect single-mode fiber using an MPO/MTP patch cord or patch panel rated for 1310 nm operation. Verify link status in the host device and enable digital diagnostic monitoring in the device management interface if remote monitoring of voltage, laser bias current, optical power and temperature is required. Ensure firmware or software in the host platform supports third-party QSFP modules if applicable.

Recommendations

Use appropriate MPO/MTP single-mode fiber patch cords and follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion/removal to avoid contamination. Confirm DDM/DOM support on the host device before relying on diagnostic readings, and perform standard optical cleaning and testing procedures to achieve optimal link quality and range.
