Glasvezel-transceivermodule BlueOptics AFBR-79EIDZ-FT1-BO QSFP MTP/MPO

The BlueOptics AFBR-79EIDZ-FT1-BO QSFP MTP/MPO is a 40G multimode fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed data transmission in networking equipment. Constructed with an aluminium housing and a compact form factor (approx. 20 g), this QSFP module uses an MTP/MPO connector and supports 40GBASE-SR4 optical links over multimode fiber. The module implements 850 nm transmit and receive wavelengths and follows MSA QSFP form-factor and MPO/MTP connector standards to ensure interoperability with compatible hardware platforms.

Advantages

This BlueOptics transceiver provides a standardized QSFP interface for 40 Gbps Ethernet and related protocols, enabling short-reach multimode fiber connections with MPO/MTP connectivity. The aluminium housing offers mechanical robustness while keeping the weight low. The module is tested for compatibility with major vendor hardware that supports the corresponding 40GBASE-SR4 specification and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature, laser bias current, transmit power and receive power.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbps Ethernet links in data center switch-to-switch or switch-to-server topologies
• High-speed storage and SAN interconnects using multimode fiber
• Short-reach campus or aggregation links up to the supported multimode distance

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP (QSFP+ form factor for 40GBASE-SR4)
• Connector: MTP/MPO for multimode fiber
• Wavelength: 850 nm transmit and receive
• Supported data rate: up to 40 Gbps aggregate
• Cable type: Multimode fiber (OM3/OM4 recommended for 40GBASE-SR4)
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported (compliant with SFF-8472-compatible interfaces)

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-plug procedures. Connect an MTP/MPO multimode patch cable between transceivers or to a patch panel with properly pinned MPO/MTP terminations. Verify link status and negotiate speed on the host device; if available, enable and read DDM/DOM registers to monitor module parameters. Follow equipment vendor guidance for supported fiber types and maximum link distance to ensure stable operation.

Recommendations

Use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber for best 40GBASE-SR4 reach and performance, keep connectors clean and follow proper MPO/MTP polarity and pinning standards. Confirm compatibility with your network hardware firmware and enable digital diagnostics when supported to aid troubleshooting and maintenance.
