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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-MT-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode networks. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module uses an MPO/MTP connector and follows MSA QSFP mechanical and electrical standards, offering a compact pluggable solution for high-speed uplinks and interconnects. With a specified MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight design of approximately 40 g, it is intended for reliable long-term operation in networking equipment that accepts QSFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides a standard QSFP interface for interoperability with devices that support QSFP transceivers. Operating at 1310 nm over single-mode fiber allows extended reach for metro and data center links, while the MPO/MTP connector enables parallel optical connections. Built and tested to MSA guidelines, the transceiver includes support for digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted and received optical power, and module temperature. The construction and component selection aim to deliver long operational life and reduced maintenance intervals.

Suitable for

• 40G Ethernet uplinks between switches and core devices
• High-speed interconnects in data centers and server farms
• Fiber links in metro aggregation and carrier networks
• Applications requiring digital diagnostics and link monitoring

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on the switch, router or other network device following the host vendor’s hot-plug guidance. Connect appropriate single-mode MPO/MTP fiber patch cords to the module and ensure the opposite end is connected to a compatible transceiver or MPO/MTP interface. Verify link status in the host device and, if supported, enable or read digital diagnostic monitoring to check electrical and optical parameters. Follow standard ESD precautions and handle the optical interfaces with protective caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use certified single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and, where possible, consult the host device compatibility list before deployment. Confirm that the target hardware supports QSFP transceivers and the DDM/DOM feature if remote monitoring is required. Periodically inspect and clean fiber endfaces to maintain optimal signal quality.
