Glasvezel-transceivermodule BlueOptics 841716-B21-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics 841716-B21-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbps Ethernet and similar high-speed network links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s, comes in a silver housing and has a rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours. The compact, lightweight module (approximately 40 g) is intended for use in compatible QSFP ports on switches, routers and optical equipment to extend fiber connectivity with a standardized interface.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP module provides a standardized QSFP interface for straightforward insertion into compatible network devices. The 40 Gbit/s capability enables aggregation, server uplinks and high-throughput links between switches. The silver metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and passive heat dissipation, while the high MTBF figure indicates long operational reliability under normal conditions.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• Server farms and data centre aggregation links
• High-throughput storage and backup networks
• Optical link upgrades in enterprise and campus networks

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40000 Mbit/s (40 Gbit/s)
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Rated MTBF: 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Ensure the target device supports QSFP transceivers and the required 40 Gbit/s link mode before installation. Handle the module by its housing, avoid touching the optical connector end-face, and keep dust caps in place until insertion. Insert the transceiver into the QSFP slot until it latches, then connect compatible fiber patch cables or breakout assemblies as required. Verify link status and configure the device interface according to the network equipment documentation.

Recommendations

Operate the module within the environmental and mechanical limits specified by the host device. Use appropriate dust protection for unused ports, perform regular optical cleaning of connectors, and ensure firmware and transceiver settings on network equipment match the intended link parameters to maintain reliable 40 Gbit/s performance.
