Fiber optic transceiver BlueOptics 407-BBGL-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics 407-BBGL-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s networks. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and uses a QSFP interface with LC Duplex connections for single-mode fiber links. The module is compatible with Dell platforms that support the equivalent 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP form factor and operates from a 3.3 V supply. Its compact metal housing measures approximately 18.3 mm (W) x 72 mm (D) x 8.5 mm (H) and weighs about 0.02 kg, making it suitable for dense, high-speed networking equipment.

Advantages

This QSFP transceiver provides 40G data throughput in a compact MSA-compliant form factor and is compatible with major Dell hardware platforms that accept the 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP interface. The use of LC Duplex connectivity permits simultaneous transmit and receive channels over single-mode fiber. The module is designed for stable optical performance over long distances and supports digital diagnostic monitoring when the host hardware enables DDM/DOM functions, allowing remote access to supply voltage, laser bias, output and input power and module temperature data.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbit/s Ethernet aggregation and uplink ports
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and high-speed SAN links
• Long-reach single-mode fiber links up to several kilometers
• Switches, routers and storage systems that support 40G QSFP modules

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP module into a compatible QSFP slot on the host device following the vendor's hot-plug procedures. Connect LC Duplex single-mode fiber patch cords to the module's transmit and receive ports, observing correct polarity. Ensure the host device firmware and configuration support 40GBASE-LR4 or equivalent QSFP optics and enable digital diagnostic monitoring in the system if real-time optical parameters are required. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module and avoid touching the optical interfaces; keep protective dust caps in place until connections are made.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality single-mode LC patch cords and, where available, patch panels to maintain optimal signal integrity. Verify host compatibility and enable DDM/DOM support for remote monitoring. Store unused transceivers in anti-static packaging and capped to protect optical ports from contamination.
