Transceptor QSFP BlueOptics BO25K13630D 40GBASE-ER4L 1310nm 30 km

The BlueOptics BO25K13630D QSFP transceiver supports 40GBASE-ER4L operation at a center wavelength of 1310 nm and delivers a maximum reach of up to 30 km over suitable single-mode fiber. Engineered for high-speed 40 Gbps links, this hot-pluggable QSFP module is intended for backbone aggregation, long-reach uplinks and metro interconnects where extended optical reach and reliable 40G connectivity are required.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver provides long-distance 40G connectivity with stable optical performance at 1310 nm and is compatible with QSFP ports that accept standard 40GBASE-ER4L modules. The module’s hot-plug design simplifies installation and replacement without disrupting device operation. The compact QSFP form factor allows high-density port deployment in switches and routers while maintaining low power consumption for continuous operation in data center and carrier environments.

Suitable for

• Backbone aggregation links between core and distribution switches
• Long-reach uplinks from data center racks to aggregation points
• Metro network interconnects and point-to-point fiber links
• High-capacity links requiring 40 Gbps throughput over single-mode fiber

How to use

Install the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on a switch or router while the host device is powered on, following the host manufacturer’s hot-plug guidance. Terminate the fiber using appropriate single-mode connectors and ensure correct polarity. Verify link status through the host device’s management interface and monitor optical loss and signal parameters as required. For reliable performance, use single-mode fiber rated for the target distance and minimize bends and connector contamination.

Recommendations

Use this module for point-to-point 40G links over single-mode fiber where extended reach is needed. Confirm compatibility with the host device’s transceiver support list and maintain clean fiber connectors and proper patching practices to preserve link quality.
