QSFP transceiver BlueOptics QSFP-40G-XSR4-ZH-BO 40000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-XSR4-ZH-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver designed for 40 Gbit/s optical links. It uses 850 nm lasers and an MPO/MTP connector to transmit and receive data over multimode fiber and supports a maximum transfer distance of up to 300 m. The module is compatible with MSA QSFP form-factor interfaces and is intended for use in common network hardware platforms such as switches, routers and storage systems. With a lightweight metal housing in silver and a compact design, the transceiver is suitable for high-density installations where stable 40G connectivity is required.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a 40 Gbit/s data rate with simultaneous transmit and receive channels over multimode fiber, enabling low-latency links and high throughput. Compliance with MSA QSFP standards and thorough compatibility testing support interoperability with many vendor platforms. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature and supply parameters for simpler troubleshooting and maintenance. The module’s design emphasizes long service life and reliability, reflected in a high MTBF figure and the use of high-quality optical and electronic components.

How to use

Install the QSFP-40G-XSR4-ZH-BO module into a compatible QSFP slot on your switch, router or network appliance while the host device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-swap procedure. Connect a matched MPO/MTP multimode patch cable between transceivers or to a patch panel, ensuring correct fiber polarity and that both ends use compatible MPO/MTP breakouts if required. Verify link status in the host device’s management interface. If available, enable and read digital diagnostics for real-time information on optical power, temperature and supply voltage to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode MPO/MTP patch cables and maintain proper fiber cleanliness to achieve optimal performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports QSFP MSA modules and the DDM/DOM function if monitoring is required. For extended reach or singlemode environments, select an appropriate singlemode module rather than a multimode 850 nm transceiver. Follow vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and ESD precautions during handling and installation.
