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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-LE-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 1310 nm, with a compact lightweight design (approx. 0.04 kg) and a long mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours. The module uses an MPO/MTP-style connection and follows common QSFP form-factor and MSA compatibility practices to enable interoperability with supporting network hardware.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized QSFP interface for 40 Mbit/s optical links and is engineered for long operational lifetime as indicated by its MTBF value. Its single-mode 1310 nm transmitter and receiver support optical transmission over appropriate fiber cabling. Compliance with common QSFP/MSA mechanical and electrical conventions facilitates integration into compatible switches, routers and other network devices. The transceiver’s lightweight, compact form factor simplifies installation and replacement in rack-mounted equipment.

Suitable for

• High-speed uplink connections between switches and routers over single-mode fiber
• Data center interconnects and aggregation links that accept QSFP modules
• Environments requiring long-lived pluggable optics with predictable MTBF

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: Single-mode (requires appropriate single-mode cabling and MPO/MTP connectors)
• Weight: approx. 0.04 kg
• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP port of a switch, router or other network device that supports QSFP pluggable optics and the corresponding transmission protocol. Ensure the host device accepts third-party QSFP modules and that the port is configured for the intended link speed. Use appropriate single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords or patch panels to connect the module to the optical link. Observe standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and remove dust caps from the connector only immediately prior to mating.

Recommendations

Verify hardware compatibility and software/firmware support for third-party QSFP transceivers in the target device before deployment. Use high-quality single-mode MPO/MTP cabling and maintain clean connector endfaces to achieve the specified optical performance and range. Monitor the link using available digital diagnostic features if supported by the host hardware and firmware.
