QSFP transceiver modul BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-SW-BO 40 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-SW-BO is a metal-housed QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for single-mode optical links with a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s. The compact, lightweight transceiver operates at an input voltage of 3.3 V and has an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, making it suitable for deployments where reliability and low weight are required. The module uses LC Duplex connections and follows MSA-compatible QSFP mechanical and electrical specifications for interoperability with supported network hardware.

Advantages

The transceiver’s metal housing provides mechanical durability while keeping the unit lightweight at approximately 20 g. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours the module offers long operational availability and reduced maintenance cycles. The QSFP interface supports compact, hot-pluggable installation and conforms to industry MSA guidelines to ensure compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP modules.

Suitable for

• High-speed optical links in switches and routers that accept QSFP transceivers
• Data center patching and uplink connections over single-mode fiber
• Environments where a durable, lightweight QSFP module is required

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on the target device while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-plugging procedure. Connect single-mode LC Duplex fiber patch cords between transceivers or to patch panels, taking care to match transmit and receive fibers. Ensure the host hardware supports the module and that device firmware or driver settings allow operation at the intended link speed. Verify link status and diagnostics through the host system after installation.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your network equipment before deployment and follow the equipment vendor’s instructions for hot-plugging and diagnostics. Use quality single-mode LC Duplex patch cords and maintain proper fiber handling to preserve link performance. Monitor the transceiver using host diagnostics where available to detect supply voltage, optical power, and temperature trends for proactive maintenance.
