Optický transceiver modul BlueOptics AFBR-79E4Z-BO 40000 Mbit/s QSFP

The BlueOptics AFBR-79E4Z-BO is a fiber optic transceiver module for 40 Gbit/s networks using a QSFP interface and an MPO/MTP connector. Designed for multimode fiber links, it supports 40GBASE-SR4 short-range optical transmission with a typical maximum reach of up to 150 m. The module is compact and lightweight (approx. 20 g) and uses 850 nm transmit and receive channels suitable for high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications where QSFP form-factor modules are supported.

Advantages

This BlueOptics QSFP transceiver is compliant with MSA QSFP specifications and is functionally compatible with platforms that support the referenced 40GBASE-SR4 transceiver. It features an MPO/MTP connector for parallel multimode operation, supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for monitoring optical parameters, and is built using quality components intended to provide long service life and stable optical performance. The compact QSFP form factor enables efficient port density in switches and routers while keeping power and weight low.

Suitable for

• 40 Gbit/s switch-to-switch links in data centers
• High-speed uplinks between aggregation and core devices
• Short-range multimode fiber connections up to 150 m
• Storage area network interconnects supporting 40G

• Interface / form factor: QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Wavelength (TX / RX): 850 nm
• Connector type: MPO / MTP (parallel MPO for SR4)
• Compatible fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP slot on a switch, router or other network device that supports 40GBASE-SR4 modules. Connect an MPO/MTP multimode fiber patch cord to the transceiver’s MPO/MTP port and ensure correct fibre polarity and ribbon mapping for SR4 operation. Verify that the host device recognizes the module and, if required, enable or confirm DDM/DOM monitoring in the device management interface to read real-time diagnostics such as optical power, bias current and temperature.

Recommendations

To obtain optimal link performance, use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and MPO/MTP patch cords with appropriate polarity. Confirm that the network equipment firmware supports third-party QSFP modules and that DDM/DOM functions are available if remote diagnostics are required. Observe ESD precautions when handling the module and store it in protective packaging when not in use.
