Módulo transceptor QSFP BlueOptics QSFP-40G-BIDI-BO 40G 100 m

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-BIDI-BO is a 40 Gigabit QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for short-reach high-speed data links. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 40 g, the module supports duplex LC connections over multi-mode fiber and provides a maximum transfer distance of up to 100 m. The transceiver follows common MSA QSFP form-factor conventions and is intended for use in network switches, routers, storage systems and other hardware that accept QSFP 40G optical modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-BIDI-BO provides 40G data throughput in a compact QSFP housing with a durable aluminium enclosure and low weight that simplifies installation. Bi-directional operation over a single fibre pair reduces cabling complexity while maintaining simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The module is produced to meet MSA-compatible specifications and supports digital diagnostics monitoring for status and basic fault analysis when used in compatible host hardware.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and switch-to-switch interconnects
• High-speed storage networking and SAN interconnects
• Short-reach data center connections over multi-mode fiber
• Hardware platforms that accept QSFP 40G optical modules with LC duplex interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface: QSFP form factor for 40 Gigabit Ethernet
• Connector type: LC duplex (bi-directional)
• Maximum transfer distance: 100 m over multi-mode fiber
• Operating modes: simultaneous transmit and receive via single fiber pair (BIDI)
• Housing material and colour: aluminium, aluminium finish
• Weight: approx. 0.04 kg
• Supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) when host hardware provides support

How to use

Install the QSFP-40G-BIDI-BO into a compatible QSFP port on a switch, router or storage device according to the host hardware instructions. Connect LC duplex patch cords to the transceiver and to the remote transceiver or patch panel using appropriate multi-mode fiber cabling rated for the required distance. Verify that the host device recognizes the transceiver and, if available, enable or read digital diagnostics monitoring to check supply voltage, laser bias, optical output and input power and module temperature. Ensure proper handling to avoid contamination of LC connectors and follow ESD precautions when inserting or removing the module.

Recommendations

For optimal link quality, use high-quality multimode LC patch cords and maintain clean connector end-faces. Verify host compatibility with MSA-compliant QSFP modules and enable DDM/DOM support in the host to assist with monitoring and troubleshooting. Keep the operating environment within the equipment manufacturer’s temperature and humidity ranges to maintain module lifetime and performance.
