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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-NG-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed optical links. It supports a maximum data rate of 40 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm over single-mode fiber. The module features an MPO/MTP connector and a compact form factor with a weight of 40 g. With a reported mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, it is intended for deployment in switches, routers, storage systems and other networking platforms that accept QSFP modules and the 40GBASE-PLR4 transmission protocol.

Advantages

The module provides a standardized QSFP interface and MPO/MTP connectivity compliant with common MSA definitions to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability. Integrated transmit and receive lasers at 1310 nm enable simultaneous bidirectional signal handling over single-mode fiber. The transceiver is produced and tested for compatibility with major network hardware, and its long MTBF and low weight support reliable, space-efficient installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to 40 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber
• Interconnects in switches and routers supporting QSFP modules
• Storage networking and data center uplinks
• Environments requiring MPO/MTP connectorized fiber links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-NG-BO by inserting the QSFP module into a compatible QSFP slot on supported network equipment, ensuring the device firmware or software supports third-party QSFP transceivers and the 40GBASE-PLR4 protocol. Connect an MPO/MTP single-mode fiber patch cord between the module and the corresponding patch panel or remote transceiver. Verify link status on the host device and, where available, enable or read out digital diagnostics to monitor parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit and receive power, and temperature.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and route fibers to avoid tight bends. Confirm host hardware compatibility and, if required, test one module first in a lab or staging environment to validate interoperability and DDM/DOM support before full deployment.
