QSFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics QSFP-40G-SR4-SS-BO 40 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-SR4-SS-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module intended for 40 Mbit/s data transfer over an 850 nm wavelength. It features a QSFP interface in a metal housing, operates from a 3.3 V input voltage and weighs approximately 20 g. The module is specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, indicating design focus on long-term reliability for network transceiver applications.

Advantages

The module provides a compact QSFP form factor with a metal enclosure for mechanical stability and thermal conduction. Its 850 nm wavelength design is suitable for multi-mode fiber links, and the manufacturer-specified MTBF of 1,000,000 hours reflects engineered durability. Low unit weight and standard QSFP electrical/mechanical compatibility make it straightforward to integrate into compatible networking equipment that supports QSFP transceivers.

Suitable for

• 40 Mbit/s multi-mode fiber links over short distances using 850 nm optics
• Installation in switches, routers, and storage hardware that accept QSFP transceivers
• Data center or enterprise networks requiring compact, hot-pluggable transceiver modules

How to use

Before installation, verify that the target device supports QSFP transceivers and the 850 nm multi-mode optical interface. Install the module into a compatible QSFP slot following the host device manufacturer’s hot-plug procedure, ensuring the module is fully seated and latched. Connect the appropriate MPO/MTP multi-mode fiber patch cord to the transceiver receptacle, taking care to align polarization and to keep connector endfaces clean. Power and configuration are managed by the host system; confirm link settings and diagnostics via the host management interface once the physical connection is established.

Recommendations

Use certified multi-mode fiber patch cords and maintain clean connector endfaces to ensure optimal optical performance. Confirm that the host hardware supports any digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) features you intend to use, and follow the device vendor’s guidelines for transceiver firmware or compatibility settings. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid mechanical stress or contamination of the optical interfaces.
