Fibre Optic Transceiver Module BlueOptics AXLM761-BO QSFP 100m

The BlueOptics AXLM761-BO QSFP 100m is a fiber optic transceiver module engineered for short-range high-speed connections up to 100 meters over multimode fiber. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 40 grams, this QSFP form-factor module provides a compact, durable solution for 40G network links that use LC duplex connections and comply with MSA guidelines. It supports bidirectional optical transmission suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET applications at line rates up to 40 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The module offers compact QSFP packaging with an aluminium housing that helps dissipate heat and withstands typical data-center handling. It is designed to be compatible with major network platforms that support the original Netgear AXLM761 QSFP transceiver, and it implements bidirectional optical channels to transmit and receive simultaneously over a single multimode fiber pair. Built and tested to MSA standards, the transceiver includes components selected for reliable optical performance and extended operational lifetime.

How to use

Insert the QSFP transceiver into a compatible QSFP port on the switch, router or other network device while the host is powered according to the vendor’s hot-swap guidelines. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber patch cords to the module’s LC connector, ensuring proper polarity and that the fiber type and patchcord performance match the module’s multimode specification. Configure the host network device to recognize and enable the port at the intended 40G link speed and verify link status through the device management interface. If available, enable and read the digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) parameters from the host to check module health metrics such as temperature, supply voltage, optical transmit and receive power.

Recommendations

For best performance, use high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and certified LC patch cords, ensure proper cleaning of connectors before mating, and confirm that the target hardware officially supports the Netgear AXLM761-equivalent QSFP to guarantee full functionality and access to diagnostic features.
