QSFP transceiver modul BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLRL4-BO 40 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLRL4-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed optical links. It supports a maximum data rate of 40 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm over single‑mode fiber. The module comes in a metal housing, weighs approximately 40 g and is specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, delivering a durable and compact solution for network interconnects that follow QSFP MSA mechanical and electrical profiles.

Advantages

The transceiver integrates a QSFP interface and MPO/MTP-compatible optical connectivity to enable simultaneous transmit and receive channels. Its 1310 nm transmitter and receiver are suitable for medium-range single‑mode links and support common protocols such as Ethernet and Fiber Channel over Ethernet. The metal housing provides mechanical robustness while the lightweight design simplifies handling and installation. Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) capability allows remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature, aiding troubleshooting and maintenance.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLRL4-BO into a compatible QSFP slot on a switch, router or host adapter that supports QSFP modules and the relevant 40G protocols. Connect a suitable MPO/MTP single‑mode patch cord to the transceiver and the corresponding port or patch panel. Ensure the host hardware supports DDM/DOM if you require remote diagnostic data. After insertion, verify link status and protocol negotiation via the network device management interface and monitor optical power and module temperature through supported diagnostic registers.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode MPO/MTP patch cords rated for 1310 nm and maintain clean connector endfaces. Confirm hardware compatibility with QSFP-40G-PLRL4 modules and enable DDM/DOM support if available. For longer-term reliability, operate the module within the device manufacturer’s environmental and power specifications and perform periodic optical power and connector inspections.
