Modulo transceiver QSFP BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-NG-BO 40 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-NG-BO is a QSFP transceiver module designed for high-speed fiber-optic data transmission with a maximum rate of 40 Mbit/s. It features a metal housing, a QSFP interface and operates at 3.3 V input voltage. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and support for LC duplex connections over single-mode fiber, this module is intended for reliable long-reach links in network switches, routers and storage systems that support QSFP modules.

Advantages

The module provides standardized QSFP form-factor compatibility and is manufactured to industry MSA specifications to ensure interoperability with major hardware platforms. Its metal housing supports robust physical durability while a high MTBF rating indicates extended operational lifetime. The transceiver supports CWDM-based transmit and receive functions over single-mode fiber, enabling simultaneous send and receive operation via an LC duplex connector.

Suitable for

• 40G Ethernet uplinks and aggregation links
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET high-speed interconnects
• Long-reach single-mode fiber connections up to multi-kilometer distances
• Use in switches, routers, storage systems and optical patch panels

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Connector type: LC duplex (single-mode fiber)
• Input voltage: 3.3 V
• Housing: metal
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours
• Supports CWDM transmitter and receiver
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when platform provides access
• Compliance with MSA form-factor and industrial standards (CE, RoHS, FCC as applicable)

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on the target device, ensuring the module is fully seated and the host device is powered according to manufacturer guidelines. Connect single-mode LC duplex fiber patch cords to the module ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link status and, if available, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on the host to monitor supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and module temperature. Follow the equipment vendor’s instructions for hot-plug handling and firmware compatibility checks before deployment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use quality single-mode fiber and LC duplex patch cords, verify that the destination hardware supports 40G QSFP LR4 functionality and enable DDM/DOM monitoring if supported. Observe ESD precautions and operate the module within the host’s specified environmental and power parameters to maintain long-term reliability.
