Modul optického transceivera BlueOptics AFBR-79E3PZ-BO QSFP 150 m

The BlueOptics AFBR-79E3PZ-BO QSFP 150 m is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 40G multimode optical links up to 150 meters. Featuring MPO/MTP connectivity and 850 nm VCSEL-based transmitter and receiver channels, the module follows MSA-defined QSFP form-factor standards and is intended for installation in compatible network switches, routers and storage systems. The unit has an aluminium housing and a lightweight build of approximately 20 g, allowing straightforward handling and hot-plug deployment in data center environments.

Advantages

The module supports 40GBASE-SR4 transmission over multimode fiber and provides simultaneous transmit and receive capability via the MPO/MTP connector. It is manufactured to meet MSA mechanical and electrical specifications and is tested for interoperability with major hardware platforms that accept the compatible Avago AFBR-79E3PZ form factor. Integrated digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) enables real-time readout of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature for remote diagnostics and simplified maintenance.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and enterprise networks
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and other high-speed storage interconnects
• Short-reach multimode interconnects between switches, routers and patch panels up to 150 m
• Applications requiring MPO/MTP multimode fiber connections

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Maximum reach: up to 150 meters over multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 dependent)
• Connector type: MPO/MTP
• Supported protocols: 40G Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET-compatible high-speed links
• Housing material and colour: aluminium, aluminium finish
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital Diagnostics: DDM/DOM (SFF-8472 compliant)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AFBR-79E3PZ-BO into a compatible QSFP port while the host device is powered according to vendor guidelines to permit hot-plug operation if supported. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber patch cord to the module and ensure correct polarity and fiber type (OM3/OM4 recommended for 40GBASE-SR4). Verify that the host device firmware and software recognize the module and enable DDM/DOM monitoring if available. Monitor link status and diagnostic parameters through the host management interface to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use high-quality OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber and certified MPO/MTP patch cords to achieve the specified 150 m reach and maintain signal integrity. Ensure the host hardware supports the QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 profile and DDM/DOM access for diagnostics. Protect the module from contamination by keeping protective caps on fiber connectors when not connected and handle the transceiver by its housing to avoid damage to internal components.
