QSFP transceiver module BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-LS-BO 40 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-LS-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed optical links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module is lightweight (0.04 kg) and offers a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, making it suitable for integration into QSFP-compatible network equipment that accepts MSA-compliant transceivers.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-LS-BO follows QSFP MSA form-factor and electrical specifications, enabling interoperability with equipment that supports QSFP modules. It uses single-mode optical transmission at 1310 nm and provides diagnostic monitoring capability when the host hardware supports DDM/DOM. The transceiver’s light weight and compact QSFP interface simplify installation and hot-swap replacement in switches, routers, and storage systems. Specified MTBF of 1,000,000 hours indicates design attention to long-term availability and reliability.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet and optical links using QSFP interfaces
• Data center switches, routers and storage systems with QSFP ports
• Single-mode fiber backbone connections at 1310 nm
• Environments requiring MSA-compliant pluggable transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber (SMF)
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on the target device following the device manufacturer’s hot-swap and handling procedures. Connect single-mode fiber using an appropriate MPO/MTP patch cord or compatible fiber connection, ensuring correct polarity and securing any patch panels or adapters as required. If the host supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable and monitor the reported parameters (voltage, optical power, temperature and bias current) through the management interface to assist with maintenance and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

Ensure host hardware explicitly supports QSFP form-factor transceivers and the required data rate and wavelength. Use quality single-mode fiber and MPO/MTP connectors rated for the intended link distance and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module. Verify DDM/DOM compatibility if remote diagnostics are needed.
