Glasvezel-transceivermodule BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-RW-BO 40 Mbit/s 1310 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-RW-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module with a QSFP interface, designed for optical links at a maximum data rate of 40 Mbit/s and an operating wavelength of 1310 nm. It is intended for single-mode fiber connections, features an MPO/MTP connector according to MSA standards and offers a compact, lightweight design at 40 g with an MTBF of approximately 1,000,000 hours for long-term operation.

Advantages

This module provides interoperability with QSFP-compliant ports and is manufactured to MSA electrical, mechanical and functional standards. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive operation over single-mode fiber via MPO/MTP connections and includes Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support where host hardware exposes the feature. Components are selected to meet industrial quality standards, helping to ensure extended service life and stable optical performance for high-availability network environments.

Suitable for

• 40G optical links over single-mode fiber in data center aggregation and core layers
• Interconnection between switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP modules
• High-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications within the supported reach

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Mbit/s
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector type: MPO/MTP (multi-fiber push-on)
• Fiber type: Single-mode fiber
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Diagnostic support: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatible (if supported by host)
• Standards: MSA-compliant QSFP form factor
• Typical reliability: MTBF ~1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-PLR4-RW-BO into a QSFP-compatible port on switches, routers or other networking equipment that support the QSFP-40G-PLR4 form factor. Connect to a single-mode MPO/MTP patch cord or patch panel following proper fiber handling and cleanliness practices. Verify that the host device firmware supports the module and, if DDM/DOM is required, that the host exposes the diagnostic interface. After insertion, confirm link status and data rates via the host device management interface.

Recommendations

Ensure fiber connectors and MPO/MTP adapters are clean before making connections, use appropriate single-mode patch cords for the 1310 nm wavelength, and verify host compatibility and firmware support for QSFP modules and DDM/DOM features to achieve reliable operation and accurate diagnostics.
