BlueOptics QSFP Transceiver MMA1B00-B030D-BO, 40GBASE-SR4, MPO/MTP, Multimode 4x850nm, 150m, 0–+70°C

BlueOptics QSFP Transceiver MMA1B00-B030D-BO is a 40GBASE-SR4 multimode fiber module with an MPO/MTP connector. The module transmits over four parallel 850 nm lanes and supports data rates for 40 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 150 meters on standard multimode fiber. Designed to operate in ambient temperatures from 0 to +70°C, this QSFP form factor transceiver fits high-density network equipment and systems that accept the MMA1B00-B030D form factor.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact QSFP footprint suitable for aggregation switches and server interconnects while offering multimode performance for short-reach 40 GbE links. With MPO/MTP connectivity and four 850 nm lanes, it enables consolidated cabling and simplified parallel optics deployment. The device's industrial operating temperature range and standardized optical parameters support reliable operation in typical data center and enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• 40 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches or within top-of-rack and aggregation layers
• High-density patch panels and multiplexed multimode fiber installations
• Short-reach connectivity in data centers, server farms, and network aggregation points

When it may not be suitable

This QSFP transceiver is intended for multimode fiber and parallel optics; it is not suitable for single-mode long-reach applications or where an SFP/QSFP+ single-lane optical solution is required. It also requires network equipment that accepts the MMA1B00-B030D form factor and MPO/MTP interfaces, so it may not be compatible with systems that demand vendor-locked or proprietary transceivers.

Key specifications

• Form factor: QSFP (MMA1B00-B030D form factor)
• Standard: 40GBASE-SR4
• Wavelength: 4 × 850 nm lanes
• Maximum reach: up to 150 m on multimode fiber (depending on fiber type and link conditions)
• Connector type: MPO/MTP
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to +70°C
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on a switch or network device that supports the MMA1B00-B030D form factor. Use an MPO/MTP-terminated multimode fiber cable with the appropriate polarity and fiber type (e.g., OM3/OM4) for best performance. Ensure link modules on both ends are configured for 40GBASE-SR4 operation and verify transceiver seating and cable connections. Monitor link status and error counters via your network equipment management interface to confirm stable operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with the target device's QSFP slot and acceptance of the MMA1B00-B030D form factor
• Required multimode fiber type (OM3/OM4) and maximum supported reach in your cabling environment
• Connector type (MPO/MTP) and cable polarity or breakout needs for aggregation or breakout to 4×10G
• Operating temperature range suitability for your deployment environment

Usage recommendations

For reliable 40GBASE-SR4 links, use quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and verified MPO/MTP cabling, confirm polarity and channel loss budget, and pair the transceiver with compatible hardware that supports the MMA1B00-B030D form factor. When converting to 4×10G, use proper MPO-to-LC fanouts or breakout adapters specified for SR4 operation.
