Network transceiver module CBO AXSK-QSFP-SR-BO 40 Gbit/s QSFP+ short-range

CBO AXSK-QSFP-SR-BO is a BlueOptics QSFP+ short-range network transceiver module offering a 40 Gbit/s data rate for multimode fiber links. The module supports either native 40 Gbit/s or breakout operation into four independent 10 Gbit/s channels, and conforms to the standard QSFP form factor for compatibility with switches, servers and data centre equipment. It is designed for short-reach multimode connections where high-density, low-latency fibre links are required.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers high-density connectivity in a compact QSFP+ package, enabling 4x10 Gbit/s breakout or a single 40 Gbit/s link without additional adapters. It supports reliable short-range transmission over multimode fibre, reducing rack-to-rack and intra-rack latency. The module is compatible with standard QSFP interfaces, simplifying deployments in existing network infrastructure and data centre environments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch uplinks within data centres
• Aggregation links in top-of-rack and spine-leaf architectures
• Intra-rack and short-range multimode fibre connections
• Applications requiring either 40 Gbit/s throughput or 4x10 Gbit/s breakout

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus)
• Data rate: 40 Gbit/s native, or 4×10 Gbit/s breakout
• Media type: Multimode fibre (MMF)
• Range: Short-range multimode links (designed for intra-rack and short intra-data-centre distances)
• Connector type: Standard QSFP optical interface
• Typical use: Uplinks, aggregation and low-latency intra-rack connections

How to use

Install the CBO AXSK-QSFP-SR-BO transceiver into a compatible QSFP+ port on a switch, server or optical equipment following the host device vendor’s hot-plug instructions. Connect multimode fibre patch cords to the module’s optical interface, ensuring correct polarity and clean fibre endfaces. Configure the host port for the desired mode — native 40 Gbit/s or 4×10 Gbit/s breakout — according to the switch or server settings. Monitor link status and diagnostics via the host device to verify proper operation.

Lietošanas ieteikumi

Use factory-certified multimode fibre patch cords and follow ESD precautions when handling the transceiver. Clean connectors before insertion and verify compatibility with the host device to ensure stable 40 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s channel operation.
