Modulo ricetrasmettitore in fibra ottica BlueOptics 02311FPA-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics 02311FPA-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s high-speed data transmission. It uses a QSFP interface and operates with bidirectional optical signals in the 832–918 nm wavelength range over multimode fiber. Constructed with a durable metal housing and weighing approximately 20 g, the module accepts a 3.3 V supply and provides an LC duplex connection following MSA standards for interoperability with compatible network equipment.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver supports 40GBASE-SR2-BIDI operation and is compatible with major hardware platforms that accept equivalent 40 G QSFP modules. The module is produced according to MSA specifications and is tested for interoperability and functional compatibility with the intended devices. It integrates components designed for long service life and stable optical performance, offers Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time parameter reporting, and benefits from a compact, robust metal design for reliable rack- and chassis-mounted use.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 40 G Ethernet links over multimode fiber
• Inter-switch or switch-to-server connections in data centres
• High-speed aggregation ports and backbone links
• Environments requiring DDM/DOM monitoring for optical performance

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP module into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or other networking equipment while the host device is powered down or following hot-plug guidelines from the equipment vendor. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC ports, ensuring correct fiber polarity for bidirectional operation. Verify that the host device recognizes the transceiver and enables the port; check DDM/DOM readings in the management interface to confirm optical parameters and link status. Follow the equipment manufacturer's procedures for firmware or compatibility settings if needed.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multimode patch cords and clean LC connectors before installation to ensure optimal link performance. Confirm that the target hardware supports third-party QSFP modules or the specific 40GBASE-SR2-BIDI profile to access full functionality, including DDM/DOM. For trunk or backbone links, validate link distance and fiber type against the module's multimode specifications and keep spare transceivers for rapid replacement to maintain availability.
