Transceiver CBO BlueOptics 407-BBGN-BO Copper module 40 Gbit/s, 10,000 m reach

CBO BlueOptics 407-BBGN-BO is a copper transceiver module engineered for 40 Gbit/s data transmission with a specified reach of up to 10,000 m. The module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for high-speed network links in data centers and enterprise environments where a copper connection is required. It supports aggregation and backbone connections and is intended for use in switches, routers and media converters that accept compatible copper 40 Gbit/s optical modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics copper module delivers stable 40 Gbit/s throughput while maintaining a compact form factor suitable for high-density installations. Its design emphasizes compatibility with standard interconnect hardware and easy installation without the need for additional configuration. The specified reach of up to 10,000 m allows flexible placement of network equipment and supports longer copper link scenarios where fiber is not feasible or preferred.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbit/s aggregation links in data center racks and cores
• Backbone connections between network switches and routers
• High-speed links in enterprise campus and wiring closets
• Upgrades of existing copper-based network infrastructure

Key specifications

• Interface type: copper transceiver module for 40 Gbit/s
• Nominal data rate: 40 Gbit/s
• Maximum reach: up to 10,000 meters over appropriate copper cabling
• Form factor: compact, hot-pluggable module suitable for network ports supporting 40 G
• Typical applications: data center aggregation, backbone links, enterprise distribution

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 40 Gbit/s copper transceiver into a compatible module slot on your switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down or following the manufacturer’s hot-plug instructions. Connect the appropriate copper cabling to the module’s interface and verify link status through the host device's management interface. Ensure that the host equipment supports copper 40 Gbit/s modules and that cable type and connectors meet the required specifications for the intended reach.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use certified copper cabling and connectors rated for 40 Gbit/s and verify compatibility with the host device. Keep firmware and device drivers up to date and monitor link status after installation. Avoid excessive bending or strain on cables and follow standard ESD precautions when handling the module.
