SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics SFP-LR-LC40-BO QSFP 10000 m

The BlueOptics SFP-LR-LC40-BO QSFP 10000 m is a single QSFP transceiver module designed for long-distance fiber optic links. It supports 40GBASE-LR4-compatible optical transmission over single-mode fiber up to 10,000 meters and uses an LC duplex connector in an aluminium housing. The module is lightweight (approximately 20 g) and intended for use as an individual replacement or upgrade part in compatible network equipment that accepts QSFP LR4-class transceivers.

Advantages

The module provides long-reach optical connectivity in a compact QSFP form factor with an aluminium body that helps with heat dissipation and mechanical protection. It follows common MSA optics and connector standards, enabling interoperability with equipment that supports 40G LR4 optics. Built with industry-standard components and compatibility testing, the transceiver is intended to offer a reliable operating life and digital diagnostics support when used in host hardware that provides DDM/DOM functions.

Suitable for

• Long-distance 40 Gbps links over single-mode fiber
• Upgrading or replacing QSFP LR4 ports in switches, routers and storage systems
• Data center interconnects and campus backbone connections
• Applications requiring LC duplex connectors and MSA-compliant optics

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (40G-compatible)
• Optical standard: 40GBASE-LR4 class over single-mode fiber
• Maximum reach: up to 10,000 m (single-mode fiber)
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Body material and colour: aluminium / aluminium colour
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg (20 g)
• Digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM): supported when host hardware implements the feature

How to use

Handle the transceiver by its edges and avoid touching optical interfaces. Insert the BlueOptics SFP-LR-LC40-BO into a compatible QSFP slot until it latches according to the host device instructions, then connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords. Ensure fiber polarity and LC connector cleanliness before operation. Configure the host port as required for 40G operation and verify link status in the host device management interface. If the host supports digital diagnostics, monitor supply voltage, temperature and optical power values via the management interface to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and quality LC duplex patch cords for optimal range and signal quality. Confirm compatibility with the specific switch, router or storage system model and ensure the host firmware supports third-party QSFP LR4 modules and DDM/DOM if those features are required. Clean connectors before mating and follow ESD precautions when handling optics.
