Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics EQPT404BD2VCL100-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics EQPT404BD2VCL100-BO is a QSFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 40 Gbit/s data transmission. Finished in silver and weighing 40 g, this module uses a QSFP interface and is intended for high-speed multimode fiber links. It provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for high-density network equipment where 40G aggregation or server connectivity is required, with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours indicating long operational reliability.

Advantages

This module supports a 40,000 Mbit/s maximum data transfer rate over a QSFP interface, enabling consolidation of multiple 10G lanes into a single 40G port. Its compact QSFP form factor is suitable for high-density installations, and the silver housing offers a standard, robust mechanical design. The stated MTBF of 1,000,000 hours reflects a design goal of sustained uptime in typical network environments. Compatibility with multimode fiber makes it suitable for short-reach, high-throughput links.

Suitable for

• 40G aggregation and uplink ports in data center switches
• High-speed interconnects between switches and routers within campus and enterprise networks
• Server connectivity in high-density rack environments
• Storage networking and Fibre Channel over Ethernet deployments (where 40G links are supported)

• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on supported network equipment while the device is powered on or off according to the host vendor's guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber cables to the module's optical connectors following correct polarity and fiber management practices. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and confirm operational parameters such as negotiated speed and optical diagnostics if supported. Follow the host equipment documentation for any required configuration such as link aggregation, MTU, or protocol-specific settings.

Usage recommendations

Use verified multimode fiber and LC duplex patch cables, maintain proper cable bend radius, and ensure cleanliness of optical connectors before mating. Confirm compatibility with your switch or router model and firmware; consult the host vendor's compatibility list or test a sample in your environment if necessary. Observe ESD precautions during handling and store unused transceivers in protective packaging to avoid contamination or damage.
