BlueOptics QSFP-40G-ER-AL-BO netwerk-transceivermodule glasvezel

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-ER-AL-BO is a 40G fiber optic network transceiver module with a QSFP interface and LC duplex connector designed for high-speed single-mode fiber links. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 40 g, the module follows MSA form-factor guidelines and supports 40GBASE-ER4 transmission over extended distances for data center and enterprise networking environments.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver is compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP 40G modules and provides support for high-bandwidth links while maintaining a compact, lightweight aluminium design. The module implements optical transmit and receive functions at the standardized wavelength for long-reach single-mode operation and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support where the host hardware exposes that feature. Components are selected to meet MSA requirements and provide stable performance for typical network applications.

How to use

Before installation, verify that the target switch, router or storage platform supports third-party QSFP optics and DDM if diagnostics are required. Insert the transceiver into an available QSFP slot until it latches; connect LC duplex single-mode patch cords to the module and to the remote transceiver or patch panel following proper fibre handling procedures. Ensure transmit and receive fibres are correctly oriented. Configure the network device as required for a 40GBASE-ER4 link and confirm link status through the host management interface. If DDM is used, check that the system exposes the diagnostic parameters to monitor power, temperature and laser bias.

Recommendations

Handle the LC connectors and transceiver with care to avoid contamination; use dust caps when connectors are not mated. For optimal reach and signal quality, use certified single-mode patch cords and adhere to bend-radius and installation best practices. Verify compatibility with the specific hardware platform and firmware release before deployment.
