Transceptor 40G QSFP BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-ESR4-8-BO 40000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-ESR4-8-BO is a 40 Gigabit QSFP fiber optic transceiver designed for high-speed data links in data centers and enterprise networks. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and uses an MTP/MPO fiber connector in a compact silver QSFP form factor. The module is rated with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours and a lightweight construction of approximately 40 g, enabling straightforward installation in compatible 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact QSFP interface that consolidates four channels into a single pluggable module, reducing port density and cabling complexity. Its support for high throughput up to 40 Gbit/s and an MTP/MPO connector allows aggregated multimode fiber connections for short to medium link lengths. The modest weight and standardized form factor make the module easy to handle and install in standard networking equipment while the long MTBF indicates stable operation for continuous network use.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks in data centers
• Aggregation links between switches and routers
• Server-to-switch connections requiring high throughput
• Short-range multimode fiber connections up to 300 m

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP for 40 Gigabit Ethernet
• Fiber connector type: MTP/MPO
• Form factor and color: QSFP module, silver
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Reliability: MTBF of 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the module into a compatible QSFP port on networking equipment while the device is powered down or following hot-swap procedures specified by the switch or router vendor. Connect MTP/MPO multimode fiber patch cables to the module, ensuring correct polarity and connector alignment. After insertion and cabling, verify link status and speed via the host device management interface and perform any required configuration for 40 Gigabit Ethernet operation.

Recommendations

Use short-run multimode fiber rated for your transceiver type and verify cable polarity when connecting MTP/MPO assemblies. For reliable operation, install the module in equipment that explicitly supports QSFP 40G optics and follow the host vendor’s guidelines for firmware and compatibility testing.
