BlueOptics E100GQSFP28SRX network transceiver module 100000 Mbit/s QSFP28 850 nm

The BlueOptics E100GQSFP28SRX is a fiber optic transceiver module engineered for high-speed data transmission up to 100000 Mbit/s. With a QSFP28 interface and an 850 nm wavelength, this module supports short-reach multimode fiber links commonly used in data centers and high-performance computing racks. The compact, silver-coloured transceiver is designed for easy integration into compatible QSFP28 ports and offers a lightweight form factor for dense deployments.

Advantages

The QSFP28 form factor provides four-lane, high-bandwidth connectivity while maintaining backward compatibility with systems that accept QSFP28 modules. Operating at 850 nm, the module is optimized for multimode fiber environments and short-range links, delivering reliable signal integrity and low-latency transmission. Its lightweight construction and standard interface simplify installation and replacement in rack-mounted switches and servers.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• High-performance computing clusters requiring 100 Gbps links
• Short-reach multimode fiber links within server rooms and racks
• Network equipment refreshes where QSFP28 ports are available

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics QSFP28 transceiver into a compatible QSFP28 port until it clicks into place, ensuring the host equipment is powered and supports 100 Gbps operation over multimode fiber at 850 nm. Connect the appropriate multimode fiber patch cables to the transceiver's optical interface, observe proper polarity, and verify link status via the host device. Follow any vendor-specific configuration steps on switches or servers to enable the interface and set required link parameters.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber rated for 100 Gbps short-reach connections and keep fiber connectors clean. Confirm compatibility with the host device's QSFP28 ports and firmware, and monitor temperature and link status during initial deployment to ensure stable operation.
