QSFP transceiver BlueOptics QSFP40G-SR-BO 40000 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP40G-SR-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s optical data transmission. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength over multimode fiber and features an MPO/MTP-style four-lane interface compatible with 40GBASE-SR4 applications. The module is RoHS compliant and specified with a mean time between failures of 1,000,000 hours, making it suitable for high-speed network links in switches, routers and storage systems that support QSFP SR optics.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver supports a 40,000 Mbit/s maximum data rate and is engineered for interoperability with hardware platforms that accept QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 optics. Its multimode 850 nm transmitter and receiver combination enables simultaneous transmit and receive on multiple fibers through an MPO/MTP connector. The module is lightweight and compact with a silver housing, and is produced to meet MSA-defined mechanical and electrical standards for QSFP form factor compatibility and reliable operation.

How to use

Insert the QSFP40G-SR-BO module into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or other network device with the connector aligned and the latch engaged according to the host hardware instructions. Connect a compatible multimode MPO/MTP fiber patch cord to the module; ensure the fiber polarity and port mapping match the remote transceiver or patch panel. Verify the host device detects the module and negotiates the 40G link. If available, enable and read the digital diagnostics/DOM data via the host management interface to monitor real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, output power, input power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use the transceiver with certified multimode MPO/MTP patch cords and patch panels to achieve optimal SR4 performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 optics and the device firmware allows third-party transceivers. Maintain clean fiber endfaces, observe ESD precautions during handling, and consult the host vendor documentation when enabling digital diagnostics to ensure proper monitoring and compatibility.
