QSFP Transceiver Module BlueOptics QSFP-40G-SRBD-BO 40G 100m Silver

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-SRBD-BO 40G 100m Silver is a QSFP form-factor transceiver designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet and other 40G optical link applications over multimode fiber. The module implements a bidirectional SR2-BIDI link with LC duplex connectivity and operates in the 832–918 nm wavelength range, supporting reliable data transmission up to 100 meters. At approximately 40 g and with a silver housing, the module follows MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications for straightforward integration into compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver offers high-density 40G connectivity in a compact QSFP package, enabling simultaneous transmit and receive on a single duplex LC connection. The module implements digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatible with SFF-8472 for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature. Built to MSA standards, it is suitable for interoperability with systems that support QSFP SR-BIDI optics and is lightweight for easy handling during installation.

How to use

Insert the QSFP module into a compatible QSFP port on switches, routers, storage systems or other networking devices while the host device is powered on or following the vendor’s hot-plug instructions. Connect an appropriate multimode LC duplex fiber patch cable between transceivers, ensuring correct fiber type and polarity for bidirectional SR2-BIDI links. Verify link status via the host device interface and, if available, read out digital diagnostic values through the management interface to confirm signal levels, supply voltage, and temperature.

Recommendations

To achieve optimal performance, pair the module with multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cords rated for short-reach 40G SR-BIDI operation, maintain clean connector endfaces, and ensure the host platform supports DDM/DOM for diagnostics. Follow the equipment vendor’s compatibility list and installation guidelines when deploying the module in production environments.
