Fibre optic transceiver module BlueOptics 740-080490-BO QSFP LC interface

The BlueOptics 740-080490-BO QSFP LC interface is a fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed multimode optical links. Manufactured with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 40 g, this QSFP module provides a compact form factor and is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts QSFP modules with LC duplex connections. It supports bidirectional optical transmission over multimode fiber and conforms to common MSA mechanical and electrical guidelines.

Advantages

The module's aluminium construction offers mechanical robustness and heat dissipation suitable for continuous operation in rack environments. Its QSFP interface with LC connectivity allows integration into equipment that uses standard LC duplex fiber connections. The compact weight and standard QSFP form factor simplify installation and handling in switches, routers and other network devices. The design supports reliable optical data transmission for short-range multimode fiber links.

Suitable for

• Aggregation and distribution switches requiring 40G QSFP optical ports
• Server and storage interconnects over multimode fiber
• Data center uplinks and top-of-rack connections
• Environments where LC duplex connectors are used for optical cabling

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP
• Connector type: LC duplex (fiber)
• Material / colour: aluminium housing
• Weight: ~0.04 kg
• Optical medium: multimode fiber (MMF)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on the network device following the vendor's hot‑swap and handling procedures. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the transceiver's LC connector, ensuring the proper orientation for transmit and receive channels. Verify link status in the host device and, if available, enable digital diagnostics or monitoring features in the system to observe operational parameters. Follow ESD precautions and avoid mechanical stress to the module and fiber connectors during installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality multimode fiber patch cords and maintain clean LC connectors. Confirm that the host hardware and firmware support the QSFP transceiver type and any available monitoring functions before deployment. Store and operate the module within the equipment manufacturer’s specified environmental ranges and inspect connectors regularly to maintain signal integrity.
