Glasvezel-transceivermodule BlueOptics AA1404006-E6-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics AA1404006-E6-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed data transfer up to 40000 Mbit/s. Compatible with Extreme Networks hardware that supports the original module, this silver-coloured QSFP transceiver uses an MPO/MTP interface and supports multimode fiber connections. The module implements 40GBASE-ESR4 transmissions with 850 nm lasers for simultaneous send and receive over separate fiber channels and is intended for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other network devices that accept QSFP modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP transceiver offers a standardized QSFP form factor and MPO/MTP connectivity according to MSA guidelines to ensure mechanical and electrical interoperability. It supports high data rates up to 40 Gbit/s for short‑reach multimode links and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for remote measurement of supply voltage, laser bias current, TX output power, RX input power and temperature. Manufactured using industry-grade components, the module is designed for long service life and predictable performance within networks that support the respective form factor and protocols.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbit/s multimode fiber links in data center top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• High-throughput connections between routers, switches and storage systems
• Environments requiring MPO/MTP connectivity and QSFP form factor

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP with MPO/MTP connector
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40000 Mbit/s (40 Gbit/s)
• Transmission type: 40GBASE-ESR4 for multimode fiber
• Wavelength: 850 nm (transmit and receive)
• Product colour: Silver
• Supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on the network device until it latches securely. Connect an appropriate MPO/MTP multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver and the remote device or patch panel, ensuring correct polarity. Verify that the host device supports the module and that DDM/DOM monitoring (if required) is enabled in the host system. After insertion and link-up, monitor link status and diagnostic parameters via the host system to confirm normal operation.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber rated for 40GBASE-ESR4 and high-quality MPO/MTP patch cords to achieve the specified reach and performance. Ensure the host hardware firmware supports third-party QSFP modules and enable DDM/DOM monitoring where available to track optical and electrical parameters. Handle the module by its edges, keep protective caps on unused ports, and follow ESD precautions during installation and removal.
