BlueOptics QSFP56-200G-SR-DE-BO netwerk-transceivermodule glasvezel MTP/MPO

The BlueOptics QSFP56-200G-SR-DE-BO network transceiver module is a 200G fiber optic QSFP56 module designed for short-reach multimode links using an MTP/MPO connector. Housed in an aluminium enclosure and weighing approximately 40 g, this compact module supports 200GBASE-SR4 transmission with 850 nm transmit and receive wavelengths, and is built to industry MSA standards for physical compatibility with QSFP56 ports. It is intended for high-density network environments such as data centers and enterprise aggregation or spine layers that require high throughput and low-latency optical links.

Advantages

The module implements a QSFP56 interface for 200 Gbit/s aggregated bandwidth while using an MTP/MPO multimode connector for convenient parallel optics cabling. Lightweight and compact aluminium construction simplifies installation and rack-side handling. Manufacturing to MSA-aligned specifications ensures interoperability with major hardware platforms that accept standard QSFP56 SR4 transceivers. Digital diagnostic monitoring capabilities allow real-time access to key operating parameters when supported by the host hardware.

Suitable for

• Data center fabric links (switch-to-switch or switch-to-aggregation)
• High-performance computing clusters and server interconnects
• Storage area network uplinks supporting Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• Short-reach campus backbone and aggregation links (up to multimode distance limits)

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP56
• Transmission standard: 200GBASE-SR4 (parallel multimode optics)
• Connector: MTP/MPO multimode
• Wavelength: 850 nm (Tx and Rx)
• Housing material and colour: aluminium, aluminium finish
• Weight: approx. 0.04 kg
• Form factor: QSFP56 4-lane parallel optics
• Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when host hardware allows

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP56 module into a compatible QSFP56 port on a switch, router or storage system following the host vendor’s hot-plug guidelines. Connect an appropriate MTP/MPO multimode patch cable or harness to the module and to the matching panel or device. Verify link status and lane configuration in the host device management interface. If digital diagnostics monitoring is required, enable and read the available diagnostics through the host system to check supply voltage, laser bias, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature.

Recommendations

Use OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and certified MTP/MPO patch cords for best reach and performance, and ensure the host hardware explicitly supports QSFP56 SR4 modules and DDM if you need monitoring. Keep connectors clean and follow standard fiber handling procedures to maintain signal quality and expected link range.
