QSFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics QSFP-40G-S-BO 40 Mbit/s 850 nm

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-S-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed optical links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbit/s over multimode fiber using an 850 nm wavelength. The module is housed in a metal casing, operates from a 3.3 V input, and weighs approximately 20 g. With an MTBF (mean time between failures) of 1,000,000 hours, this transceiver is intended for use in network equipment that accepts QSFP form-factor modules and MPO/MTP style connectivity.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact QSFP interface and an MPO/MTP-compatible optical connection compliant with common MSA expectations, enabling interoperability with hardware platforms that support QSFP modules. Its metal housing contributes to mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding. The module's relatively low weight and standard 3.3 V operation make it suitable for dense equipment environments. The specified MTBF indicates a design focused on extended operational availability for installed links.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-S-BO into a compatible QSFP slot on supported networking equipment following the device manufacturer's hot‑swap and handling guidelines. Use an appropriate MPO/MTP multimode patch cable or patch panel to connect the module to the corresponding transceiver or patch point. Ensure the host device supports the QSFP module and any required Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) features if monitoring of optical parameters is needed. Observe ESD precautions and power the host equipment with the specified 3.3 V supply as defined by the host platform.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your specific switch, router or storage system before installation and use multimode fiber and MPO/MTP cabling rated for 850 nm operation. If remote monitoring of optical parameters is required, confirm that the host hardware supports DDM/DOM functions to access diagnostic data. Follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion/removal and fiber handling to maintain link performance and module longevity.
