Modulo transceiver QSFP BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-SO-BO 40 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-SO-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Mbit/s optical links over single-mode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm. It uses an MPO/MTP connector and follows MSA-compliant QSFP form-factor standards, offering compact, hot-pluggable connectivity for high-density network equipment. The module is lightweight (0.04 kg) and designed for long operational life with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours.

Advantages

The transceiver supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels via MPO/MTP connectivity and is manufactured according to industry MSA guidelines to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability with compatible hardware. It provides digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for real-time status on supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output/input power and temperature when supported by the host device. Components are selected to meet industrial compliance requirements and to deliver extended service life.

Suitable for

• High-density switch and router uplinks requiring QSFP ports
• Data center interconnects over single-mode fiber
• Storage and server connectivity in networked environments
• Applications using Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET protocols up to 40G

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP (MPO/MTP connector)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode fiber
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-SO-BO by inserting it into a compatible QSFP slot on the switch, router or other networking equipment while the host device is powered according to the vendor's hot-plug procedures. Connect an MPO/MTP single-mode fiber patch cord to the module and to the corresponding port or patch panel. Verify link state and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters from the host to confirm optical power levels and operating conditions. Follow the hardware vendor instructions for firmware or software settings required to enable the port for your chosen protocol.

Recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode MPO/MTP patch cords and ensure proper polarity and cleanliness of connectors to achieve optimal range and signal integrity. Confirm host compatibility with MSA QSFP modules and enable DDM/DOM support in the device management interface to monitor module health and optical parameters.
