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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-PT-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 40 Mbit/s optical data transfer over single-mode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The compact module weighs 0.04 kg and is built to industry MSA mechanical and electrical standards for QSFP form-factor interoperability. Designed for high-availability network environments, it offers a long mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and supports MPO/MTP connectivity for multi-fiber links.

Advantages

The module follows MSA QSFP standards to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with supporting hardware that accepts QSFP transceivers. With 1310 nm transmit and receive optics and MPO/MTP connectorization, it supports simultaneous send/receive operation over single-mode fiber. Built from selected components and tested for interoperability, the transceiver targets stable optical performance, reduced maintenance due to long MTBF, and straightforward installation in modular network equipment.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and interconnects
• Switches, routers and storage system expansion
• High-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel environments up to 40G
• Single-mode fiber links requiring MPO/MTP connections

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-PT-BO into a compatible QSFP slot on the target device following the vendor’s hot-swap and insertion guidelines. Connect a suitable MPO/MTP single-mode patch cord to the transceiver and route the other end to the mating transceiver or patch panel. Verify link negotiation and optical levels through the host device management interface. Ensure the host device supports the QSFP form factor and the required transmission protocol (Ethernet/Fibre Channel/SDH/SONET) for correct operation.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the target hardware and verify that the system firmware accepts third-party QSFP modules. Use single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords rated for 1310 nm, maintain proper fiber handling to avoid contamination, and monitor optical parameters if the host supports DDM/DOM for remote diagnostics.
