100G QSFP28 Transceiver BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-LR4-LP 100000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP28-LR4-LP transceiver is a 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 optical module designed for single-mode fiber links up to 10 km. It provides a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s via a QSFP28 interface and uses an LC duplex connector for transmit and receive channels. The module is housed in a metal casing, weighs approximately 40 g, and is engineered for long operational life with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. The transceiver supports standard optical networking protocols and fits systems that accept QSFP28 MSA-compliant modules.

Advantages

The transceiver offers high-bandwidth 100 Gbit/s transmission over single-mode fiber with LR4 optical characteristics and a QSFP28 form factor for high-density installations. Its metal housing provides mechanical durability and thermal dissipation, while the compact, lightweight design simplifies handling and installation. Compliance with MSA QSFP28 mechanical and electrical specifications ensures interoperability with compatible switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP28 modules.

Suitable for

• 100G data center uplinks and cross-connects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 slot until it clicks into place, following the host device manufacturer's hot-plug procedures. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cords with correct polarity to the transmitter and receiver ports. Verify link status and data rate in the host device management interface. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query the diagnostic registers to monitor supply voltage, optical power and temperature for preventive maintenance.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode LC duplex patch cords and maintain proper fiber cleanliness before mating connectors to ensure optimal link performance. Confirm host compatibility with 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 modules and verify DDM/DOM support if remote diagnostics are required. Observe ESD precautions during handling and follow the equipment vendor's guidelines for insertion and removal to avoid port or module damage.
