QSFP-transceiver-module BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-20-CH-BO 40000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-20-CH-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s Ethernet links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and is engineered for long-reach single-mode fiber connections with a maximum transfer distance up to 20,000 m. The compact module follows QSFP form-factor conventions and uses LC fiber connectors, with a lightweight design of approximately 0.04 kg suitable for high-density networking equipment.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver provides reliable long-distance optical connectivity and is compatible with equipment that accepts QSFP modules and LC connectors. The module supports high aggregate bandwidth at 40 Gbit/s while remaining compact and lightweight for rack-mounted and modular network systems. Its long reach capability up to 20 km enables inter-building and campus links without intermediate repeaters.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-LR4-20-CH-BO into a compatible QSFP port on your switch or router, ensuring the module is oriented correctly and fully seated. Connect single-mode LC fiber patch cords to the module's LC connectors, observing correct Tx/Rx alignment. After installation, verify link status and configure the network device for 40 Gbit/s operation if necessary. Follow the host equipment manufacturer's instructions for hot-swap procedures and optical power budget checks.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber rated for long-reach applications and clean LC connectors before mating. Verify transceiver compatibility with your network equipment and confirm optical power and dispersion parameters for links approaching maximum distance. Store and handle the module in an ESD-safe environment and cap connectors when not in use.
