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

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-VA-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for high-speed single-mode fiber links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s at a wavelength of 1310 nm, features an MPO/MTP connector and a compact, lightweight design of approximately 0.04 kg. The module is built to comply with QSFP MSA mechanical and electrical standards and includes digital diagnostics monitoring to assist with link maintenance and troubleshooting.

Advantages

This transceiver delivers stable optical transmission on single-mode fiber with simultaneous transmit and receive capability through an MPO/MTP interface. The module offers long operational lifetime with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and is manufactured using industry-grade components to meet MSA, CE and RoHS guidelines. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provide real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, output and input power and temperature, simplifying remote maintenance and fault analysis.

Suitable for

• 40GBASE-PLR4 single-mode fiber uplinks and long-reach connections
• High-density switches, routers and storage system interconnects that accept QSFP modules
• Data center aggregation, campus backbone and carrier links up to several kilometers

How to use

Install the QSFP module into any compatible QSFP port on networking equipment that supports MSA-compliant QSFP transceivers. Connect appropriate single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords to the module and route fibers according to your link design. Verify link status and diagnostic data with the host device or management software; if the host supports DDM/DOM, monitor supply voltage, laser bias, optical power and temperature for ongoing maintenance. Ensure firmware or driver compatibility on the target hardware where necessary.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and follow proper fiber cleaning procedures before insertion. Confirm that the target hardware supports the QSFP MSA standard and DDM/DOM features to access diagnostics. For long links, verify optical budget and connector types to ensure reliable 40 Mbit/s operation.
