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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-SW-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed single-mode optical links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s and transmits at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The module uses an MPO/MTP connector and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts QSFP pluggable transceivers. With a lightweight design (approximately 40 g) and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, the transceiver is intended for applications requiring long service life and stable optical performance.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compatible QSFP form-factor conventions to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability with supporting network hardware. It supports bidirectional optical transmission over single-mode fiber using 1310 nm lasers and receivers and is designed for use in Ethernet and other high-speed optical protocols. Built to industry standards such as CE and RoHS, the transceiver includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when used in host hardware that provides access to those functions. Low weight and standardized connector type simplify installation and cabling.

Suitable for

• High-speed optical links between switches and routers
• Data center uplinks and interconnects
• Storage and server connectivity requiring single-mode fiber
• Environments requiring long-life, low-maintenance transceivers

How to use

Install the transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on network equipment following the host device manufacturer’s hot-plug guidelines. Use an appropriate MPO/MTP single-mode fiber patch cord or patch panel to connect the module to the remote transceiver. Ensure both ends of the link are configured to the same optical standard and that the host hardware supports 40G optical signalling. If the host provides DDM/DOM access, enable or query diagnostics through the device management interface to monitor parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your specific switch, router or storage platform before deployment and use single-mode MPO/MTP cabling rated for the required distance. Follow ESD precautions during handling and observe manufacturer guidance for operating temperature and insertion/removal procedures to maintain reliability and diagnostic functionality.
