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

The BlueOptics 407-BBOI-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gb/s network links. The module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40000 Mbit/s and is intended for insertion into compatible QSFP ports on switches, routers and transceivers. Its compact metal housing in silver and a lightweight build of about 40 g make it suitable for dense rack installations where reliable high-speed optical connectivity is required. The design specifies a high mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, indicating an expected long operational life under normal conditions.

Advantages

The module provides 40 Gb/s throughput over fiber interfaces while maintaining a compact QSFP form factor that supports high port density. A metal silver housing contributes to mechanical robustness and heat dissipation. Low weight reduces strain on front-panel assemblies and the specified MTBF offers predictable reliability for planning and maintenance. The standardized QSFP interface ensures interoperability with equipment that supports this transceiver class.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and routers
• High-density data center uplinks and aggregation layers
• Optical interconnects in enterprise campus networks
• Fiber backbone connections requiring QSFP modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40000 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on your network device following the device manufacturer's insertion procedure. Ensure the link partners and cabling support 40 Gb/s operation and that optical connectors and fiber type match the transceiver's requirements. After physical installation, verify link status and data rate via the host device's management interface. Handle the module by its housing, avoid touching optical interfaces, and use dust caps when the transceiver is not connected.

Usage recommendations

Use the module in equipment that explicitly supports QSFP transceivers and 40 Gb/s operation. Keep operating environments within the network device manufacturer's temperature and humidity ranges. For best performance, use compatible fiber cables and clean connectors before mating. Plan for redundancy or spare modules if the network requires minimal downtime despite the high MTBF.
