Network transceiver module BlueOptics 02311HNP-BO QSFP fiber optic 40000 Mbit/s

BlueOptics 02311HNP-BO is a QSFP form‑factor fiber optic network transceiver designed to deliver up to 40,000 Mbit/s for short‑reach and data‑center interconnects. The module uses a QSFP interface suitable for 40G links in switches, routers and servers. Encased in a silver housing and specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, the transceiver supports high‑density port installations and complies with typical data‑center operating conditions.

Advantages

The transceiver supports a 40GBASE interface in a compact QSFP package, enabling high port density and scalable network upgrades without changing the host platform. With a silver housing and a lightweight design (approx. 0.04 kg), it is easy to handle and install. Diagnostic monitoring (DDM) capability and broad temperature operating range increase reliability and suitability for continuous operation in rack environments.

Suitable for

• 40G links between switches and routers in data centers
• Server uplinks where QSFP ports are available
• Short‑reach multimode OM4 connections up to typical multimode distances
• Interconnects requiring compact, high‑density transceiver modules

When it may not be suitable

This module is intended for QSFP ports and 40G links; it is not suitable for systems that only accept SFP/SFP+ form factors or for network segments that require other speeds such as 1G or 10G without appropriate breakout or conversion hardware. It may also be unsuitable for long‑reach singlemode deployments beyond the specified singlemode distance without verifying fiber type and link budget.

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40,000 Mbit/s
• Form factor: QSFP (quad small form‑factor pluggable)
• Housing colour: Silver
• Typical weight: 0.04 kg
• Diagnostics: DDM supported
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours
• Intended application: short‑reach and data‑center interconnects

How to use

Install the module into a compatible QSFP port on the switch, router or server following the host vendor's insertion and removal procedures. Use appropriate fiber patch cables and connectors (LC duplex where applicable) and verify that fiber type (multimode OM4 or singlemode) and link distances match the module's supported reach. After insertion, confirm link status and monitor diagnostics (DDM) through the host management interface to validate optical power, temperature and other parameters.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the host device has a QSFP port and supports 40G operation or breakout configuration.
• Verify the required fiber type (OM4 multimode or singlemode) and the link distance for your deployment.
• Confirm compatibility with your switch or router vendor and firmware if vendor interoperability is a concern.
• Check ambient operating temperature requirements against the module's specified range.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, pair the BlueOptics 02311HNP-BO with clean, certified fiber patch cords and maintain proper cable management to avoid bend losses. Use host diagnostics to track optical parameters and replace modules according to your maintenance schedule if DDM reports persistent out‑of‑spec values.
